a question about dealing with the competition. i have been in business for over 25 years and recently, i had people say horrible, negative things about my product and my business. i wanted to stop. what can i do about it? it s hard right now. someone says something and it can be multiplied by social media. do you ignore it or get it face on? welcome to success. if you are not having people say rotten things about you. if people are saying rotten things about you, you are doing rotten stuff. or you are being successful. i presume she isn t doing rotten stuff. people are saying things because you are successful. how do you counter act it? set up global arts so you get a ping when something happens. then a material decision. you need somebody to help you with it. we get too concerned about our own business and reputation. get somebody to help you to make a distinction as to whether this is going to do material harm or not.
