So let's break it down on this episode. First, criticism shows you where to improve. Listen, I get it. No one likes hearing they're not good enough or that their ideas aren't perfect. But here's the truth, criticism is feedback in disguise. Early on in my career, guys, when I was building my businesses,

I had people telling me it wouldn't work, I wouldn't make it, that I should just stick to the nine to five as a cop. But instead of letting that tear me down, okay, I used it to identify my weaknesses and improve. Criticism isn't an attack, it's an opportunity to grow. Second, criticism filters out the weak.

they've all been criticized, doubted, and even hated. But they kept going, and so can you. And lastly, criticism sharpens your resilience. Every time you face it, you get stronger.
