Crapp monster

“Hi I’m The CRAPP Monster, here to take away your good times!!!!” – Weird times

Hey guys,

Okay a few weeks ago I started off saying I would show you how to use the CRAPP system… It’s about time I show you how.

But before I get into it I am seriously going to tell you this stuff is written while I am not in my best state, you see I am writing this more so for myself than for you, the reader… I learn best when I teach others, that’s how I got good at dating sciences, basketball, Thai Boxing, fitness training, marketing, copywriting, sales, etc… So yeah, this is my method of learning… sorry if you disagree but hey at least I’m being straight with you.

So the CRAPP stands for

Criticism

Rejection

Assholes

Pressure

Persistence

How to deal with it is pretty simple stuff so we are going to break each one down… dissect it and show you a solution so you don’t have to deal with CRAPP too painfully.

Okay so the first thing is Criticism.

This is the biggest killer to self-esteem, confidence and overall success. I know because I have been criticised by a lot of people for different things, like internet marketing, network marketing, sales, leaving school, basketball, poetry, etc. There’s a lot I have stopped doing because I was criticised so much for by those close to me. Now I have taken something’s back up again but others my time for it has past.

So how do you deal with Criticism?

As stupid as it sounds, you ignore it, you don’t let your head think of it. Try to make sure you only have good thoughts going through your head. I have this problem at the moment where I can’t deal with Criticism, which sorta sucks cos it was one of my strongest points. But now it is starting to annoy me, but hey it’s character building.

Another way to deal with Criticism, is ask them what they mean… This automatically takes away any assumption we have. I have taken someone’s comment as a criticism before… bad idea. This resulted in a really bad case of events that was resolved in the end but still shouldn’t of happened.

Oooh ok so number 2… it’s Rejection.

So why deal with it?

Because if you don’t you will start hating people for no reason… simple enough.

How do you deal with Rejection?

Well it depends where you get rejection, is it from a customer, friend, family member, girl/guy you like, people, company, etc? I know I’ve rubbed that into a lot of you but hey I am gonna be straight with you, this is the harsh truth of life. You will be rejected, I’m gonna sound cocky and say I am a pretty charismatic, likeable guy, that’s because I tend to be myself and have fun, but even I have and still get rejected from time to time, and it does feel weird.

If you are being rejected by someone you like, change your approach, start being yourself, who cares what they think, if they don’t want to accept you, big whoop, don’t accept them. This is strange but moment you do this, they will seek your approval, it’s strange but it works.

Another method for this is just to go out and have fun, having fun naturally attracts people to you. A lot of people now-a-days are depressing as hell so when you are happy they want to know why, so it’s a pretty cool feeling .

This is a personal favorite….

How to deal with ASSHOLES?

Best way I could think of to deal with assholes, is not to at all. Just walk away, let them be assholes, there loss in the end not yours. You have an awesome time ahead and they have nothing but bad negativity there way. So you win.

How to Deal with Pressure?

Depends entirely on what type of pressure, I will tell you the 3 main ones I have seen….

Pressure from home: This is one I have to work on constantly, you see people don’t understand your vision, because it isn’t there vision. It wasn’t meant for them to see it. Rather than argue, you can try to show them your vision, if that fails, then the best thing to do is… unfortunately, rebel. Go against what’s said and follow your dreams because they were meant for you and you alone and no one should get in the way of that. Though compromise is always a good thing.

Pressure from work/business: Best thing to do, is just put a reward up for what you do. Block out the assholes who want to deter you, they will tell you to change your goals, not increase but decrease it to there way of thinking. IF you know you can do more, go for it. I know I do. Weekends, before and after work, do something to take the edge off. Simply do stuff like, watch a movie, write a short story, smile, write out your feelings, spend time with loved ones. Just do something to take your mind off it. My way is doing some sales copy. I just like writing sales letters and adverts, while playing my xbox 360.

How to be Persistent?

Simple, the definition of persistence is to move forward regardless of opposition, negatives and objection without change of thought… I wanna expand and say you can only change thought for the better which is if you hit your original goal.

So how do you become persistent in everyday life? The easy way is read a few books. 2 books I recommend that help are listed here:

The Magic of Thinking Big – Dr. David Schwartz

177 Mental Toughness Secrets – Steve Siebold

Only because one teaches you how to go for your gold and the other teaches you how to keep the mindset to get there. I am currently re-reading both because they helped out a long time ago.

Another method is just write out as many reasons as possible for what you do what you do. All the good things and bad, and read it daily! The more you read it the easier it becomes to do that task.

Hope this helps,

Later days,

Adil
