Screw The Haters – Here’s Where You Need to Focus Your Energy
I just gave some advice to a client who was asking how he should respond to some negative survey responses he has received. What advice I gave isn’t the usual advice you might get, in fact it’s probably the opposite – but it makes sense to me. Screw the Haters – Here’s Where You Need […]
