How do you deal with rejection, negative criticism, and disappointment?
In this week's Quick Tips, we're giving you our best advice to overcome the negativity and flip the switch to a positive mindset.
There are all kinds of disappointments in this job. Rejections from agents and editors, fizzled launches, and one-star reviews.
Our advice?
- Remember this business, like so many others, is all about relationships.
- Analyze the data. If you get a negative review, assess whether that person was really your target audience, or if there's truly an issue in your book that should be addressed.
- Spin it to a positive. That one-star review that wasn't your audience, may actually draw in your true target. A rejection from an agent with feedback might help you pitch better next time.
- Reward your wins. Post the good stuff prominently in your workspace and refer to to frequently to keep yourself motivated.
We talk about all this and more, so tune in!
