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.
