Day 24 of the 39 Day Challenge. Your videos suck!

Feedback can be difficult to take.

But...

The MOST difficult thing is not on the receiving side, it is on the giving side. Try giving honest, open feedback for an entire week. Don't hold anything back. Don't try to be nice. Say exactly what is in your head.

I guarantee it will be the most difficult week of your life.

Now, that's not to say receiving it is easy either. Has anyone ever given you straight, unabashed negative feedback about something you've done that you were proud of?

How did that feel?

How did you react?

Were you angry? Resentful? Resistant?

Don't beat yourself up. That is perfectly normal. Only those that have trained themselves to accept feedback as just that... feedback, have the ability to look at it neutrally. As something that can help them to get better. As a way of improving themselves.

Well, I received some unabashed, negative feedback about some videos I've been putting out there from the person closest to me, my wife. And how did I react?

Exactly.

Anger. Resentment. Resistance. Right on queue.

However, after processing what she had done for me, I came around and was able to take the feedback as it was... feedback.

  • The road less traveled is a hard one to take. I tip my hat to you. Couragous.

  • Sure there are someone who love you and your video, and also someone who dislike it. Your video not suck!

  • Good Luck!

    We sometimes need honest opinion from the people we love to let out the good in us.

    Your spouse is like my wife, but I took it all in and now it's working thanks to her.

  • Kim & I both know that you're a madman underneath that calm exterior. I'm gonna release THE VIDEO we both did together to prove it!

    Just you wait & see!

    :) :)

    Dezzer.

  • The thing is, its you!!!

    Keep going, I watch it every day and i am a successful german. I agree with Kim only a bit, mostly its intersting to hear your meaning.

  • I love this video - kept me watching all the way. Nothing more powerful than a completely, open and honest video. Thanks for sharing.
