About the Book
It is commonplace for most people to experience doubt, resistance, or criticism
after he or she has shared their earnest conviction, ambition, or intent. But why
would anyone want to get in the way of your success? Why do we limit ourselves,
as well as place limits on others? People who do such things are referred to as
naysayers. A naysayer is a person who habitually expresses negative or
pessimistic views. Their goal is to de-motivate, discourage, impede, and destroy
your hopes and dreams. What course of action would you take if the odds were
stacked against you? What dream did you once conceive in your heart—but
because of fear, unbelief, and cynicism you allowed the dream to die?
In Silence the Naysayers, Kirby K. Jones challenges you to dream again and re-
kindle the fire which at one time profusely burned on the inside of you. Few
people are willing to release their security blanket and launch out into uncharted
waters, yet he reveals the process involved to unearth the unlimited potential in all
of us. Through applicable principles that are established upon the Word of God,
Kirby adds his methodology, compelling exercises, and heart warming stories to
help guide you to the discovery of your purpose in life. He provides
encouragement for those who need to find the strength to go on when no one else
has confidence in their ability to succeed.
Silence the Naysayers is required reading and is the 21st century expression for
entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs. It is not an expression that should be
used negatively against those who would refute your hope, dreams, or potential
undertaking. However, it is an expression to be used to motivate you, inspire you,
and therefore illuminate your creative genius in the face of antagonism. This book
belongs in the hands of the reader who is seeking meaning for his or her life. The
person who undoubtedly desires change and a better quality of life for themselves
and others. If you are ready to make the rest of your life the best of your life go on
and Silence the Naysayers!
