JUST NOD AND SMILE
Everyone has unsolicited advice these days. You’d be surprised at how many friends and family members think they can run your business better than you can. People will come out of the woodwork with what they believe to be great advice. It’ll be in your nature to defend yourself and your business. The best way to deal with these types of issues is to simply smile and nod. Respect their opinions, but believe in your ideas, your abilities, your will, and your perseverance. You don’t owe anyone any explanation as to why you chose to run your business a certain way.
