Good feedback can be bad for you and your cause


Following lesson learned from the last 2 years when trying to build a start-up: getting positive feedback can make you loose momentum, slow you down. It can make you wait for the progress to just happen, wish and assume that now someone is also doing something for you.  Whereas negative feedback kicks you to move, tune, re-adjust, re-think, try harder.

In other words, if you get positive feedback but it does not result as an immediate and obvious urgency from giver's side, you should either move on or re-think your offer to get the "Let's grap it/him/her so that others don't get it".

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
