Speaker 1 (00:06):
I don't know queen. Hi, this is Danny Felt and
you're listening to the Danny Felt Podcast. On this episode,
we're going to talk about dealing with social media comments,
dealing with people that don't like you, dealing with the triggers,
(00:28):
and the darker side of becoming successful. Hello, this is
Danny Felt. Today. I want to talk to you guys
about something that just happened to be in real time.
This podcast, I keep it real, I keep it wrong,
I keep it authentic, and I share with you what's
really happening in my life so that you can really
navigate the real life situations that happened as an entrepreneur,
(00:51):
as a creative, as a person doing cool things in
the world. I know the people listening to this podcast.
They want to make an impact, they want to make
a difference. We don't play small here. We go for
our dreams, We go for everything you want to do,
and we do not play small. We are not messing
around here. This is not let's do this for fun.
(01:13):
This is let's do this for real. That being said,
the more successful you become, the more hate you might have,
the more people from your past might come back into
your past and bring up things that are just so random.
(01:33):
I had something happen this morning, and I don't want
to get into the details, but it just reminded me
to share with you that this is part of being successful.
It's people commenting on your social media, talking behind your back,
spreading rumors about you. And this is partly why I
(01:54):
was always afraid to be successful. I was always afraid
to be rich. I was always afraid to become a
million dollar business owner because of the fear of people
hating on me, not liking me, attacking me on social
media like that has been one of my biggest fears
and reasons for not letting myself get to the place
(02:15):
that I want to become. But at the same time
that we can have haters and people that don't like us,
we also have people that love and adore us and
want to hear a message. So should we just let
the people that don't like us, we're talking bad about us, etc.
Win Because that's not fair to all the people that
have supported us and cheerlead us and want to hear
(02:38):
our voice and want to hear our stories. You know what,
as an entrepreneur and a creative and a business owner
and a TV producer and author and a speaker. It's
bound to happen where some people are not going to
agree with everything I have to say. They're not going
to like on my social media posts. They might comment
the main things, and it's up to me how I
react to this. It's up to all of us how
(03:00):
we react to this. Are we just gonna let people
win and just scare us out of wanting to be
in the public eye, or do we say, Okay, that's
their opinion. Their opinion of us is none of our business,
and we need to move on. We need to focus
on our goals, on our mission on this earth, and
do whatever it is that we want to do in
(03:21):
our life, and continue to share our message because it
will impact people positively, and it will inspire people, and
it will help people. I can't tell you the amount
of messages I've gotten. Let's say, Danny, Oh my gosh,
thank you so much for commenting that, Thank you so
much for sharing that story. Thank you so much for
sending that email. I am so grateful. You are totally
(03:43):
inspiring me. This is so awesome. There are so many people,
countless amount of people who share with me how my message,
my story has helped people. So, yeah, is there going
to be some people that don't agree with me and
want to curse me out or want to talk bad
about me. It just kind of comes with the territory
of becoming a successful person. There's always an equal and
(04:04):
opposite reaction. So if there's a lot of people that
love you, there can be a lot of people to
hate you. And that's why fame and success and being
in the public spotlight can be really stressful. I mean,
it kind of shook me a little bit when this
happened today, Like it kind of shook me. It jolted
my nervous system, and I said, Danny, how can we
handle this? And I communicated with them. I did. I
(04:28):
reached out because sometimes you have to. It depends on
the situation. Sometimes you just want to block people. Sometimes
you want to communicate with people. I don't want to
go into details on this situation, but let's just say
it's gonna happen from time to time when you're trying
to be successful and you're trying to you know, build something,
build an empire. Not everyone's gonna love you, and we
(04:51):
kind of just have to learn to have a really
strong nervous system so we can deal with these emotions
when they come up. And the emotions might be something like,
you're not good enough, what are you thinking, you're opposer,
I can't believe you're doing this. Who are you to
tell people how to live their life? Etc. We all
(05:12):
have imposter syndrome. Sometimes our egos just want to keep
us safe. Our egos are gonna tell us, hey, let's
not be famous, let's not be successful, let's just be small.
Let's just crawl into a ball and just like hide
from the world and just not see anything because that
is safe. And then we'll be safe and we'll be happy,
because happiness and safe are the same thing to your ego.
(05:33):
But we have to slowly shift that perspective because otherwise
we stay small and then we have resentment and regret
and frustration within ourselves and we don't want that. Okay, yes,
not everyone is gonna love us. There's gonna be haters.
We have to be okay with that. We have to
be okay with haters. Not everyone is gonna love us.
(05:56):
In an ideal world, everyone loves us, everyone gets along,
and that's it. Come on, realistically, No, The thing is,
I believe the more people that are talking bad about
me means I'm getting closer and closer and closer and
closer to the level of success that I've always imagined
for myself. For me, I'm using it as evidence, Danny,
(06:19):
You're one step closer. The universe is showing you people
that are just not in alignment with you, that are
not meant to work with in the future. And that's
totally okay, Like, that's totally fine. Things always happen for
a reason. I believe that, and I believe there's karma.
I believe there's learning lessons, and you know what, it's okay.
We just have to learn to deal with them because
(06:41):
as a business owner, we have to be mentally strong.
We cannot let people walk out over us. We cannot
let people take us down mentally like, we have to
be mentally strong. So I'm sharing this with you guys
to in hopes to inspire you guys to know that
the more successful you will be, the more you might have,
the more people that might not agree with you, the
(07:03):
more people that might get jealous of you and anger
at you for not focusing on them and helping their
dreams come true as much. Guess what, the more successful
you are, the more you'll be able to help everyone
else in the future. So it's my motivation not to
just be successful for myself, but to be able to
impact the world, to be able to help millions of people,
to be able to inspire people, to be able to
(07:24):
be so known that people will get inspired for my
books and my shows and my movies and speaking opportunities
and everything. Like. I want to be successful not just
for myself, but to help all of you guys, all
of you guys that are listening to this message. For
even one minute of this podcast, to make your day
would make me so happy, So listen. I know it's
(07:48):
not always the easiest thing to go into success or
to climb into the successful ladder, to go onto that
journey of entrepreneurship. And guess what, you don't have to
be famous. You don't have to be in the spotlight
to be successful. You don't have to be in the
spotlight to make money. But if you do want to
be in the spotlight, which I'm guessing most of you do,
since I'm talking to a lot of creatives and business owners,
(08:10):
the hate is just something they're gonna have to deal with.
Sometimes it's usually nothing to do with you. It's usually
their own triggers, their own stuff coming up, and it's okay,
and I send them love. I send anyone that hates
me or is mad at me, I send them so
much love and good energy because hate and hate do
not work. That just makes it worse. So anyway, I
(08:31):
wanted to share this with you and hopes to give
you some insight that even if you're successful, when you're successful,
there might be some haters, there might be some main comments.
And it's our job as entrepreneurs, as strong business people,
to say, Okay, that's their own stuff, it's nothing to
do with me. If it's literally something that you did
(08:52):
that you can fix, communicate with the client. Communicate with
the person. If it's just their opinion and they're just
mad at you for no reason or just have a
distorted perspective of you, that's their opinion. That's their opinion.
That's their business, none of your business. Move on, keep going.
