The comment section will always have opinions. Your job is to have a direction.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Feedback is infinite and free, and almost none of it comes from someone who has to live with the result. Opinions arrive constantly and pull in every direction at once, so trying to satisfy them is the same as having no direction at all. Having one is not the same as ignoring everybody. It is deciding in advance whose input actually changes what you do.

Name two or three people whose views you will weigh seriously and write them down. Everything else can be read and set aside. When something stings this week, check whether the source is on your list before you let it move anything.
