Therefore you can simply bypass, let go, move on and away from a CNN (Constantly Negative Naysayer).  When I was in practice I would simply refer the CNN patients to other docs.  Now as a business coach I refer them to other coaches.  Making <em>appropriate<\/em> referrals creates an opening for the perfect person to come into your sphere of influence, doing the most good for all parties.  <\/p>\n<p>How do you the tell the difference between a Skeptic and a Cynic?  <strong>You FEEL it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>A <strong>Skeptic<\/strong> will ask questions from a place of curiosity, seeking, tell me more, I want to know vs I need to know.  A skeptic is open to hearing, learning and sharing more.  Ask them what they want to know and they will tell you specifically. <\/p>\n<p>A <strong>Cynic<\/strong> will be coming from a place of fear, anger, angst, abrasiveness.  They will usually belittle, berate, share negative experiences, and emotions with an air of I know it all.  Ask them what they want to know and they will tell you &#8220;nothing&#8221;, or &#8220;prove to me&#8221;.   A Cynic is more interested in being &#8220;right&#8221; than open&#8230;and more information just irritates them because even if you&#8217;re correct, just the fact that you are giving them more information is, on one level, interpreted or perceived as you telling them they&#8217;re &#8220;wrong&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Life is too short to spend time with the &#8220;wrong&#8221; people.  Surround yourSelf with those that share your vision, your mission, your values and who are also free to challenge you to grow in an environment of mutual respect, love and support.  Refer the rest appropriately, or simply let them go, move on and away so as to enhance the greater good of all parties.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>I LOVE a Skeptic and I will not tolerate a Cynic<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Live with Intention,<br \/>\nDr Bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This applies to those who seek to attract the perfect customer, client, or business partner. &#8220;I love a skeptic and I will not tolerate a cynic&#8221; One of the really great things about Direct Sales is that you &#8220;get to&#8221; &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/?p=749\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,6],"tags":[29,119,32,154,37,27,152,117,118,43,30,125,42,28,36,126,153,31],"class_list":["post-749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business-coaching","category-personal-development","tag-author","tag-bill-toth","tag-business-coach","tag-create-your-fate","tag-createyourfate","tag-dr-bill-toth","tag-dr-billtoth1","tag-drbill-toth","tag-drbilltoth","tag-entrepreneur","tag-father","tag-julie-toth","tag-leadership-development","tag-morning-moments","tag-neurolinguistics","tag-nlp","tag-postaday2011","tag-speaker"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=749"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":751,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749\/revisions\/751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.drbilltoth.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
