If you get negative comments don’t take it personally. Those people don’t know you personally and maybe making negative comments because they want to be you. If you delete the comments you provide them with more ammunition, use it as a positive if people are engaging with you then it’s a sign you are growing. Be humble and honest if you have said something that doesn’t fit very well or you have said something you shouldn’t have then use the feedback to grow and be better. It’s important to use it as a feedback mechanism If people have said something negative but you truly believe in what you are doing ask those such as your mentor and mastermind group. If they believe in you use their opinions as an indicator of your success. You can use anything, as a positive or a negative, be consistent in how you deal with it and make sure you treat negativity in the way it should be treated.

The business went on to acquire major clients such as Land Rover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources.
