Make sure you use negativity positively to grow and move forward!
In this episode, Jay takes a look at the effect negative comments have on us and how we all have the power to decide whether to use them as a positive or negative in our lives and business.
The world of social media the comments made by some can be challenging listen in to find out how you can turn it around and make sure positivity always wins.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s a part of your journey you will get negativity as you grow, get bigger in your brand and put out more content; there are always going to be people with different opinions.
If you get negative comments don’t take it personally. Those people don’t know you personally and maybe making negative comments because they want to be you.
If you delete the comments you provide them with more ammunition, use it as a positive if people are engaging with you then it’s a sign you are growing.
Be humble and honest if you have said something that doesn’t fit very well or you have said something you shouldn’t have then use the feedback to grow and be better.
It’s important to use it as a feedback mechanism
If people have said something negative but you truly believe in what you are doing ask those such as your mentor and mastermind group. If they believe in you use their opinions as an indicator of your success.
You can use anything, as a positive or a negative, be consistent in how you deal with it and make sure you treat negativity in the way it should be treated.

ABOUT THE HOST
Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Land Rover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few.
Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.
A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.
After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.
Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.
In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number. Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.
