Learn to take criticism with an open mind, when you hear how your business will not prosper ask why so and make a note of it, find out how you can meet the critics needs and wants go back to the drawing board and prepare with an answer for each question that's asked and if you dont know the answer to a new question research and return. Its not how many times you fall but how many times you get up.

Great advice.

Most humans don't like criticism because nobody likes to feel failure/rejection in someway. But if the ego gets checked at the door then lots of learning can be done.

In terms of criticism my advice to anyone who reads this post it to never take anything personally. NO need to take anything to heart. Just roll with the punches an realize it just wasn't your time. And just move on. Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent!

When choosing whether to accept or reject criticism it is always important to consider the source.

True words! I'm most apt to listening to someone I trust, and look up upon. All though, sometimes I will make an exception, if what they are saying makes sense with other things I've heard.
