Are You After Approval From Others?
by Andrea Waltz

When Richard and I handed my Dad our very first brochure for our business I felt like I was showing off a class project. And thinking back, it probably looked pretty close to that too. Now, lucky for me my Dad is not a dream stealer. He just nodded, asked a few questions and handed the brochure back to me. Not particularly supportive nor was it hostile.

The people who know you... well, they know you. My Dad knows about the time (I was 5), that I snuck into the medicine cabinet, got into the Flintstones™ Vitamins and ate most of them - enough to cause a terrible stomach ache. I finally admitted it after being seriously interrogated. And of course that's just the beginning of everything my Dad has seen of me over the years. So, sure he's a little reserved when I show him my latest venture.

It's natural to want our family and friends to support us. But as tempting as it might be, looking for approval is a fool's errand. Just do your business, do your stuff, and your actions will speak louder than words. 

Hang out with your colleagues - the people who are doing what you do. They get you, support you, and will cheer you on. And that's the point - stick with the people that will build you up, not tear you down. Don't worry about the naysayers, dream stealers, or even those that are neutral. They'll come around... but even if they don't, so what? Ultimately, it's never about getting approval from anyone else but yourself!  Which reminds me... the Flintstones™ Vitamins? Totally worth it.

NOtable Quotables from the Go for No! Movie

"When I failed, I failed big. I went really face down in the mud. It hurt hard. When you have that sort of thing happen to you, that's what I'm thankful for. It made me tough." - Larry Winget
