Listen up, folks—if you’ve got critics breathing down your neck, you’re in the best possible place. The more they talk about you, the more energy they hand over for free. Haters are like rocket fuel for your grind. I don’t just deal with them—I feast on them. Breakfast, lunch, dinner…heck, sometimes I’ll even snack on a troll at midnight. They’re the proof that I’ve got what they don’t—focus, success, and relentless drive.

If you’ve been bitten by the hater bug, it’s probably because they’ve got bigger problems than their mouths can handle.

Problem #1: A Total Lack of Focus

You want to know why they’re stuck watching you instead of building their own empire? Zero focus. Nada. Zilch. These folks don’t have businesses; they’ve got side hustles dressed up in a cheap suit.

Look, success doesn’t come from juggling 15 things—you’ve got to laser in on ONE and own it. Would you have a side hustle on your spouse? Actually, don’t answer that—we both know your significant other wouldn’t appreciate it. You see, focus in business is like focus in relationships. If you’re all over the place, guess what? It’s a hot mess. You’re not building anything solid; you’re just spinning your wheels, looking ridiculous.

FOCUS! Build something so solid that your competitors have no choice but to obsess over you.

Problem #2: You’ve Got Price All Wrong

Here’s a freebie for all the haters out there whining about prices—price isn’t the problem. Lack of value is. People don’t mind spending money; they mind wasting it. If customers are ghosting you, it’s not because they’re cheap—it’s because you didn’t lock into what they need.

While you’re too busy worrying about my company, you’re missing the people who already called, ready to hand you their hard-earned cash. Why? Because you didn’t focus on your leads. That’s right—back to Problem #1.

You want to win the game? Shift your energy from complaining to solving your customers’ problems. But I get it—you’re distracted and using my content as a crutch for your misery. Carry on.

Problem #3: WAY Too Much Time

If you’ve got enough time on your hands to stalk me, my business, and everything I’m doing, then it’s crystal clear—you’re not handling yours. You know what ‘too much free time’ means? Your phone’s not ringing because YOU haven’t made it happen. Go ahead and reread Problem #1 and start there because this circle of failure always leads to one thing—lack of action.

Newsflash! You don’t grow a business by lurking in the comments section; you grow it by grinding harder than the next person. You want to be criticized? Work so hard you can’t be ignored. You want to get hated? Start dominating spaces they can’t even step foot in.

But hey, while you’re wasting time, I’ll be over here pushing limits. Early mornings, late nights, and the thousand “hard things” in between that separate the big dogs from the amateurs. And guess what? When you’re putting in the work, the haters don’t even matter—they just fuel your fire.

Haters Scream from the Sidelines; Winners Play the Game

Here’s the truth they don’t want to hear. They aren’t focused enough to run their own race, so they sit on the sidelines, throwing shade at those of us out here winning. If you’re catching heat from the doubters, wear it as a badge of honor. It means you’re doing something worth watching.

Now, take a deep breath, check yourself, and ask, “Am I a player—or am I just another spectator wasting time flingin’ out hate?” Decide today! Focus, grind, and dominate. And to all my haters out there—you just keep watching.

I’m out here building an empire. What are you doing?
