Negative People Can Get Stuffed!

One of my colleagues reminded me today that it was exactly a year ago that one of my worst ever work colleagues finally left our workplace.

They finally took the hint to leave after I went on an epic rant after listening to their negativity for one time too many!

Having gotten rid of the negative person it was amazing how quickly our workplace became a much happier place.

Avoid Negative People

Beware of people who constantly suck the life out of you with their negative energy

In online marketing or anywhere else really, we are trying to help people. But sometimes you have to accept that you can't help everyone.

I've learned from experience that people who are consistently negative, or in a bad mood should be avoided.

Why? Because if you spend enough time around them, they'll infect you with their negativity.

And they'll pull you down.

This is not what you want.

You want to be around people that lift you up, make you laugh and encourage you.

If you're constantly around people who are always in a bad mood, or who are always bitching about how awful things are then it's only a matter of time before you start to sound like them.

So my advice?

Do everything you can to spend as little time as possible around these people.

And if you have the ability to totally eliminate them from your life, then do that.

Life's too short to be around negative people.

I recently started a new online marketing course with a marketer that I've followed for years.

Everything in his training is positive and encouraging and it's a fantastic learning environment. I can't wait to implement what I learn into my own business.

For now, I hope you have a very positive day!

All the best

Dave

I can't disagree with you here Dave!

Negativity breeds negativity and we should always do our upmost best to separate ourselves from these people!

It's tricky when they are close family members who always seem to be around though!!

Appreciate the share my friend and enjoy a wonderful week ahead!

Hi Nick.
Thankfully my family and friends are mostly positive people. I used to have a close friend who became a real negative nancy after a relationship break-up. Sadly his negativity drove us apart.
Hope all is well with you

That's great to hear Dave!

Sorry to hear about your close friend though... I have had that happen on numerous occasions and just had to unfortunately cut ties..

Well.... I do still have minimal contact with a couple of them...

All is well here currently my friend, I hope the same for you!

Being around people that are positive definitely helps get through the tough circumstances of life. I think that negative people just make things that are challenging seem more ominous. Thanks for the article.

Hi Jim
I've developed a very low tolerance for negative people. I used to suck it up but I find it better to just call it out.
Good to hear from you.

I guess my policy is just to minimize contact.

Keep that attitude Dave, it will take you far.

Very true words, indeed, Dave! Reminds me of the Movie "Kelly's Heroes" with Donald Sutherland playing the crazy tank commander "Oddball".

Haha - oddball was a total legend! I actually follow a guy on twitter who comments on stuff in the guise of Oddball.

Cheers

It was one of my favorite movies when I was married for 12 years to my late wife, Joanna, who passed away in 2001! I'll never forget Oddball!

One of my favourite films and songs - burning bridges.
