Have you ever received an email from a “friend” filled with advice that felt cruel to you?

I did. I was incredibly furious honestly! The warrior in me really wanted to fire back several detailed answers to this email about how far off base his comments were!

Negative and uninvited

See, the advice was not solicited and was, as I read it, incredibly mean spirited. Especially from a person who doesn’t have the business success I have.

[Tweet ” I think Mark Cuban from Shark Tank would call him a “wanna-preneur!”]

This person, that I’ve known for several years, is a “chronic student” of every program out there, but can’t seem to leap and run their own thing. They sell another coach’s program,  they still have a “day job. So in my mind this person didn’t have a right to be so critical.

I made a choice about how I handled it of course, I’d like your opinion though!

What would you do with an email that negatively attacked your business with no justification? Especially if it’s from someone who claims to be a “friend?”


 If you choose to give your opinion you agree to:

1. Sharing your point of view in a collaborative manner that does not attack others’ opinions.

2. Not “jumping on” someone in the stream because you disagree with their opinion.

3. Sharing in the spirit of sharing! This isn’t about agreement or disagreement,  just a safe place to share opinions!
