Hey all. Recently I have put my product out there for the world to see, and for me to act, assess and adjust as @MJ DeMarco said in UNSCRIPTED . On the forum, I have gotten some good feedback from you guys, but on social media I have gotten some deconstructive criticism, even making me question the purpose of my product at times. I have also gotten positive feedback though, and even a few random people signed up for the emails. Maybe I need to expand my reach. I'm not spending a ton on ads (like $5 a day) so maybe I need a wider audience and to improve my content. Maybe I should mainly focus on b2b sales because they seem a bit more civil and actually interested. All of this has made me feel slightly conflicted.

How do I learn to accept that not everyone will like this? That certain people will look down on what I have to offer? My instant reaction is honestly to lash out, but I know that's not the right answer at all. It just pains me to see people who probably create nothing of value looking down upon what I have spent months building. This is a mental block I need to get over to succeed.

Any tips on this would be appreciated.
