Unless someone is your business coach/mentor, your trusted business advisor or your paying customer...

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM.

This is the one stupid mistake, I see ALL business owners make (even myself). Just don't do it. 

Consider this blog post a public service announcement.

Seriously. Don't hide or change your business model over the opinions of "helpful" people who don't have a fucking clue about your goals, dreams or quarterly financial projections.

You will fuck up your business and your mindset royally if you do this by undermining your faith and trust in yourself.

Bottom line: If they don't have any skin in your game...their opinion is worth their investment.
