REFLECTION QUESTION:
Bridget discusses her framework for dealing with haters and separating personal identity from brand perception. Think about a time when you faced criticism. How did it affect you personally and professionally? What strategies can you adopt to better handle negative scrutiny?
“You're taking these grand ideas and breaking them down into small little wins. And the winning compounds on winning. Again, the brain operates in momentum. I always like to think of objects in motion, stay in motion. If you can get that ball rolling and moving just through taking these little steps, you're going to have that breakthrough. And then your brain becomes addicted to winning versus right now, it's probably addicted and comfortable in that numbness of sitting there and doing nothing about it.” - Bridget James Ling
“Life is not so serious. And sometimes it's so much fun to have fun with your haters. If somebody says something mean about me, I'm like, maybe that's true. Okay, that's kind of funny. I’m like that. The more you add this humorous personality into the haters, I find that it just kind of rolls off your shoulders, and you're like, yeah, that's kind of true. Yeah, I am kind of crazy. I am kind of chaotic. You're not wrong. I believe that freedom is you radically owning all of the things that people shame you for, hate you for. That’s real freedom because then you don’t have anything on me.” - Bridget James Ling
