What To Do When Someone Copies or Steals Your Ideas

Having your work or ideas copied is very frustrating. When this happens (it will), you will find yourself feeling surprised, hurt, betrayed, even embarrassed and upset with yourself. Whether it's your original creative works or an idea stolen by a coworker, having this happen can derail a woman emotionally for days or weeks. This has happened to me a number of times and that glib saying "Well, you must be worth copying" never makes me feel better. Since YOU would never copycat someone, when this happens the surprise and feelings of betrayal can be devastating. In this week's Monday Morning Mastermind episode, I share about how copycats have hurt me in the past and what I do when it happens today. And PLEASE, when you see someone taking credit for someone else's work, SPEAK UP. It makes a difference. #bethtoldme #copycats #betrayal #beanoriginal #emotions #authenticwork #visibility #speakup #success #successtips #liveyourbestlife #mondaymorningmastermind #vitaminbeth #steal #stealing #stolemywork #stole #workthief #hurt #bestself #dobetter
