BTB Episode 102: How to Handle Feedback and Criticism

Anna Wright of Anna Kay Photography

“If you believe in yourself, you have to spend the money sometimes. It is scary to invest in yourself because that means you can’t blame the failure on anybody else. I’m super glad I made that investment! I would encourage people to really take those mentorship masterminds seriously and invest in them.”

Anna Wright of Anna Kay Photography joins me on the podcast today to discuss growing from the no’s: how to learn from feedback and criticism. And as a background as an officer in the Air Force and a nurse, she knows a thing or two about dealing with stressful situations and accepting feedback.

As I’ve suggested in past episodes, I think the topic of feedback and criticism is important. There’s so many situations in business, especially early on, where accepting feedback or criticism from the wrong people can really negatively alter the course of a business. And on the other hand, not learning to deal with criticism and accept feedback can prevent one from growing. We cover many of these talking points and more in this episode!
