In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, Pete & Pedro , and Fashion Anchor talks about how he deals with bullies and haters. Bullies try to intimidate you to do what they want; haters are emotional bullies. Their goals are the same — they want you to feel badly about yourself and question your ability. If they succeed, you won’t live the life you deserve or be as amazing as you possibly can.
Ten Steps to Overcome the Bully in Your Life
- The more successful you are (relationship, business, school, sports), the more people come after you.
- Learn to identify them early.
- Suck it up and don’t feel sorry for yourself.
- Kick their ass with you brains not brawn
- Continually educate yourself by outsmarting them
- Stay in your lane and stay focused – don’t get distracted
- Work your ass off – there’s no substitute for hard work
- Treat people well, even the bullies and haters
- Say ‘thank you’ to the haters and bullies for giving you the acknowledgement that you are doing something well! No one would be trying to tear you down and break you down if you weren’t doing things right and successful.
- Be successful – if they’re hurling negativity toward you, react being successful
