Rejection Is Normal and Natural

Rejection Is Normal and Natural

Most people grow up with fears of rejection because of early childhood criticism. They are afraid of the negative responses of others, even complete strangers whom they have never met.

When you are a child, your favorite word is "yes". May I have some candy? Yes. May I have a new toy? Yes. We love the word "yes", and at the same time, we hate the word "no". As adults, we are conditioned to seek out "yes" experiences and avoid "no" experiences. But to get ahead, you always have to take a chance that the other person will say no. If you avoid the word "no" so often that it becomes a habit, you will short-circuit much of your chance to be successful and happy.

Rejection is normal in business and even more so in selling. It is not uncommon for a person to receive five, ten, or even twenty "nos" for every "yes". This is why you must reprogram your mind so that you become completely unafraid of the word "no". When you have no more fear of rejection, your whole future will open up in front of you.

The most powerful word for success is "ask". The more you ask for, the more you will get. This refers to jobs and promotions, dates and relationships, sales and business opportunities. The future belongs to the askers.

Go for No! How do you eliminate your fear of being told "no"? By pre-programming yourself to eagerly seek out as many "nos" as possible. You decide that you will have no fear of the word "no" from now on.

Face Down the Fear of Rejection! You can preprogram yourself to have no fears of rejection or failure by telling yourself over and over that nothing can stop you. Visulaize yourself as calm, confident and smiling. Talk to yourself and create within yourself the emotion that would accompany the success you desire.

Take complete control of your mind and emotions, boost your self-confidence, and become a completely positive person.

Great advice, Agree 100%. REJECTION (or for that matter ACCEPTANCE) is all in the mind. By just changing the perspective, one starts to see each ‘NO’ (or rejection) as an opportunity to try harder. One must understand that each journey is a Solo journey. And each day if you are trying to punch-above-one’s-weight, you are On-Track!
