Are you suffering from OPO's? - Other People's Opinions

Are You Suffering from Other People's Opinions?

It is a common fact that we become like those who we associate with. However, more importantly we will often achieve in our life to a degree which is similar to those around us.

I recently heard a great CD from Rick Otton, a real estate investing expert- (www.rickotton.com), in which he talked about the two biggest reasons for failure or not taking action-

1. People's fear of what other people will think of them if they try something and it doesn't work.

2. They might do something new and it works but people will no longer like them.

These thoughts can be disastrous and really helped me feel comfortable. Why? Well if all my journeys and travels and new pursuits that I have undertaken my friends have seemed to either come along for the ride or they have just fallen away.

My question to myself and also you the reader is- "What would be different if you stop listening to other people's opinions and just did whatever you believed in?" Even deeper than that, "What could you have achieved by now if you had ignored your best friend, family member or that radio journalist who told you not to follow your dream or what you were thinking of doing is too stupid?"

Other People's Opinions are cheap but they can be the most costing thing YOU ever encounter.

People will always have their own opinions, judgments and ideas about what you decide to do. Accept that and know that if they are not prepared to try things that you have done or are willing to do then they will never experience the learning or the success that you will.

Here are some things to keep in mind to avoid being a victim of OPO's

• Be steadfast in your own goals and outcomes and believe in what you want out of life. When people see determination, they too are inspired.
• The successful people are those who are ready and burning with desire to try things that haven't been done until now and make them succeed.
• People only know what they have done themselves. They will always judge from a limited reality.
• Growth is difficult for all. Understand that people all have different ways of dealing with their cheese being moved. Especially if someone they love is moving it.
• Explain your reasons for doing things but never entertain the 'What if's'. You know your outcome so stick to it.
• Network and find people who do the same so that you will never lose your passion and dedication. Also it will take you where you want to go 100 times faster.

Have I had these problems? Sure I went through it. I am an insane entrepreneur that wakes up full of new ideas. If I had listened to all of OPO's in my life I wouldn't be where I am now with a growing downline, massively successful business and an amazing job coaching people. But I knew it all could be done simply through focus.

Keep your head up, focus on your goals and never let OPO's get in your way!

Now go out and improve people's lives- without pressure.
