When you’re just starting, it’s hard to get any feedback at all and when you get it you tend to react on it. I also need to be more focused on who is giving the feedback. Thanks for the great post.

I know so many people (women) that get 99 I love its and then there's one person who has negative feedback and they are ready to change their whole focus. Sheesh--focus on what's working, cherish those clients that are a perfect fit and get on with having some fun in life. I love this post.

I'm not completely sure whether or not I agree with you here. I guess it depends on the situation: If you're just beginning and/or don't have a large following, I think that it can be beneficial to accept criticism; even from people who will never be your customer. Just because they have criticism for you and won't buy from you doesn't mean your product won't fit their needs. There may be a genuine reason that they didn't buy your product. A 47-point critique of your newsletter may actually be a <i>wonderful</i> thing; if their complaints you think will make life better from your demographic. I would accept all criticism and then decide if it would help. Of course not if they're just complaining and not being thoughtful, but I think you're being too general, and it really depends on the individual complaint, not whether or not the person will ever be your customer.
