You cant tell big dreams to small-minded people, he says. You may have a person in your life who you can no longer take with you on the journey. Harvey, a once-homeless college drop-out whos now a wildly successful Emmy Award winner, has used this strategy in his own life with powerful results. I stop telling [negative] people everything that I think and want, because I know they cant handle it, he says simply. In his book Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success, Harvey breaks down the different categories of haters that everyone should be on the lookout for, including the I-hate-everything hater, the drag-you-down hater, the situational hater and the self-hate hater. If you have any of these haters in your family or otherwise, Harvey says its time to remove them from that part of your life. When I share an idea with you and you dont show me how to make that idea work -- all your conversation is why it wont work -- I immediately end that conversation, he explains. Im not interested in why it wont work. Thats going to arise on the journey. I just need to know, can you feel what Im saying, are you on board with it, do you have a suggestion how to make it work? The moment I hear, Well, you know, I dont think thatll work, [I respond,] OK, cool, thank you. And Im gone. huffingtonpost/2014/12/16/handling_negative_people_family_members_n_6329092.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063
