Let's talk hot chocolate...

Let's talk about gratitude today... What are you grateful for? Me I'm grateful for the time I'm getting to have with my dad. I'm grateful to all of you for stepping up to be the change you seek in the world and for your support as I navigate this cancer journey with my dad. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Post your links here for your notes, your posts, tell us about your Skool communities, your vision, and/or your other links (like youtube etc)

Was thinking about Trolls and Haters, as they are everywhere. You'll start to see them as you grow. They are on Substack as well. Don't be afraid to use the Mute and Block features. As you grow, you are going to get people who want to be rude to you, mean and hateful, argumentative, and all manner of in-between ridiculous behavior. That's different than general feedback or debate. I'm talking about something different here. I'm talking about rude people who really are just wanting to pick a fight with you, make you look bad, etc. Often they have an agenda that has very little to do with you. Whether that be using your name to grab a few views, or sparking a drama that gets them attention. Or maybe it's just they are having a bad day and decided to take it out on you. Regardless, it's a massive waste of time dealing with them. You cannot win. You'll only grow their cause by engaging with them. Now, don't get me wrong...there are ways to turn it around, and USE them to sell your products. I've seen it done before, but that's only for certain people really. Takes a pretty tough skin to deal with the haters like that. I say, don't let them ruin your day. Just mute them or block them and move on. I looked up the difference between the MUTE and BLOCK buttons BTW: Substack MUTE: The Substack "mute" feature allows users to hide content from specific publications or individual users, as well as mute certain Chat threads. You can mute publications in the Chat section by tapping the publication and selecting "Mute" to choose a duration, or mute users from your home feed by clicking the three-dot menu on their notes or profile and selecting "Mute". Muting a user prevents their notes from appearing in your feed and hides their activity, but they can still interact with you, unlike blocking. Substack BLOCK: Blocking on Substack prevents a user from viewing your notes and profile, subscribing to your publication, and interacting with your content, such as mentioning you in comments. However, other users can still see the blocked person's replies, and the blocked person can still see your content if they are logged out or find a direct URL.
