Are you a SNIOP?
The great Zig Ziglar described a SNIOP as someone who was Susceptible to the Negative Influence of Other People.
You have probably experienced the negativity of other people when you have told them about a project you are working on. They may have said things like, "You can't do that", "That won't work", "you will never succeed doing that, look at how many other people have tried", "You'll never lose weight" etc etc etc.
I have several rules when it comes to dealing with comments from negative people like that.
The first is, I try not to hang around with negative people if I can help it. I want to surround myself with positive, 'can do' people. I have found that the people who hang around WA are all very positive and will help you succeed as much as they can. They understand the abundance principle and that there are enough niches to go around.
The second thing I do is I try to prove them wrong. If they say it can't be done then I will try and prove to myself and them that it can be done.
Sometimes it can be very difficult to not take on board what others are saying about you when it is very negative.
You also have to be sure that you yourself are not the negative person. Are you staying positive? Are you reading at least one inspirational comment or quote each day to keep yourself focused on achieving things here at WA?
Don't be a SNIOP and stay positive. You will get there eventually and make money online.
I haven't achieved it yet but know I will.
Regards
Russell

Hi Russell, excellent article... Apologies in advance... But felt the need to do a follow up.. Hope you don't mind? Thanks for waking the dormantness that has crept in a bit!!
Other people's negativity can cause a great deal of damage, that's why it's best to shun their company!
As an educationist I shudder when I think about how much damage has been done by some "educators" who unthinkingly dis-empower their students with negative statements.
My fondest memories of my own education always include those educators who evinced a positive, encouraging approach to learning and were more often complimentary, rather than negative towards their students.
More strength to your pen Russell!
Kind regards,

Great points Russell. The Law of Attraction will only make more negativity in your life if you have negative people around you - like you say, better to surround yourself with positive, like-minded people and you're in the right place fir that!
I agree we have to limit time around negative people unfortunately some are your family, having like minded people sure helps and there is plenty of positive people here in the WA community
You're so right Russell!
I find the ants terrific!
They know during the whole process, that that huge anthill will stand....
No slowing down, on and on they work-
How could the outcome be otherwise?:-):-):-)

Thank you so much for this uplifting post. My family are alright with what I'm doing here at WA. But there are other negative things going on in my life so I really appreciate the encouragement. So I will be looking on the positive side from now on
Thanks,
