Sounds mean doesn't it? An idea is born, nurtured and launched to the world with great expectations. And then someone calls it ugly. Do you curl up and die?
"Get used to having your baby called ugly," says Frank Mastronuzzi of OneGoodLove.com, a dating website for same sex couples. Frank was helping Regina Lark of Q2D Speed Dating Service (Q2Dspeeddating.com) map out the growth of her company. I laughed at that very apt phrase.
I call it Iron Underwear. The need to have a thick skin and know, beyond knowing, that your 'baby' is beautiful, no matter what.
Raising two children in today's times, I know how the world dishes out the 'your baby is ugly' message. Parents react in two ways: Mama Lion or Meek Mouse?
Entrepreneurs are no different. I've seen the guy get wrung out over a comment on improving his business model. I've seen business owners fold quickly when the going gets rough.
I like Franks' attitude: My baby is not ugly, IT ROCKS! I am making this my new mantra: My baby is not ugly, my idea rocks. my business is not ugly, my business rocks.
What do you do when someone calls your baby ugly? Comments welcome.
