As I’ve been scaling up my income, my visibility, and my authority, I’m experiencing more haters than ever before.

One second, everything was peaceful and perfect. The next second, after I started doing Facebook Ads, interviews, and PR for the business, all of a sudden there were people saying mean stuff on my posts, sending me hate mail, and being jerks.

I am one of the nicest, most peaceful people on the planet, and one of the most ethical business owners out there, so how can people be hating on me?

When it first happened, it bothered me. It was a shock! But, now I know and I want to help you learn from my experience. The three tips that I have for you today will at least shorten the shock period and prepare you for exactly what to do when it does happen.

1. Anticipate it

First and foremost, the number 1 thing I recommend is to anticipate it. People say, "You know when you’ve made it when you have your first hater." It’s really true. I didn’t 100% understand that until it happened and I experienced it for myself, but it is very true. You know that you’ve made it when you have your first hater. Just know that it will happen, that way when it does it doesn’t sting so badly. Just anticipate it first and foremost and that should at least shorten the shock period for when it does.

2. Embrace it

The second thing that I recommend is for you to embrace it. Know that when you start getting haters, it just means that you are on your way to greatness, you are being more visible, you are being envied and you are triggering people because people are seeing in you the things that they wish they had for themselves. When you get those haters, get excited because you’ve made it.

3. Address it

The third thing that I recommend when it comes to experiencing haters in your business is to address it. You could just delete their emails and their posts, you could pretend it didn’t happen, and you could hope that other people didn’t see them. That’s how I used to feel about it. If someone was hating on me in a Facebook group or on a Facebook post of mine I would delete it because it made me anxious. But when it started to become more normal for me, I started to realize it isn't about me, it's about them. If it is about me, the only thing it is saying about me is that I am more visible and that I am doing things that other people wish that they could do. They are envying me and taking that out on me. When I finally realized that and it became normal in my brain, I started to address it in a much different way that I feel is healthier.

You could delete their emails, pretend it didn’t happen and hope other people didn’t see it, or you can do something very unexpected and respond to your haters with kindness.

My favorite thing to do now when this happens is to craft professional, peacefully worded responses to these people. It’s partially because I think it makes me look good, when someone is saying something bad about me on a Facebook ad and I respond and am really, really nice. Anyone else who sees the Facebook ad is like, "Oh wow, that was like a really good response." It’s partially because I am passive-aggressive person and I think it will make them feel like crap to see that they were so mean to me and I am a nice person. Seriously, though, it’s also partially because I see this as an opportunity to make an impact because those haters are probably the ones who need the love the most. It’s your chance to show them kindness. It’s your chance to show them that not everyone is evil, not everyone is bad, not everyone is out to get them, and you are a human being just like they are.

So, when it comes to handling the haters, I recommend you anticipate it, because as you grow your visibility, your income, your expertise, and your status, you will see those haters coming to you more and more and more.

I encourage you to embrace it, because it just means you are on your way to greatness and you are being envied because people are seeing in you the things they want for themselves.

I also encourage you to address it head-on. Do something unexpected and respond to your haters with kindness.
