In a previous life I was an award winning Real Estate agent in Newport Beach and Irvine, CA. One of the top RE motivational speakers at the time (Mike Ferry) used to hammer on the idea of success being a numbers game. "The more no's you get, the closer you are to a yes", he would say. My aunt supported this motivational speaker's ideas by telling me "Gobi, the squeaky wheel gets the oil...so keep squeaking". I ended up using this concept and became a top listing agent, as a result of knocking on 100 doors a day. Out of 100 doors I knocked on a day, I would get around 90-95 no's. I was looking for the 5-10 maybes, that would perhaps turn into a 'yes' for an appointment. I squeaked back then as a RE agent, and I still squeak as a content creator. I've sort of used the no's that I've gotten in my life as gauge to how close I am to the yes's. I've had the pleasure of some magical experience from hanging at Bono's home in Eze Sur Mer in the South of France, to hearing Beatle stories from Yoko Ono at her room in the Beverly Hills Hilton. I've also created some content that has won awards. I guess I say all of this to say that anything is possible, it's all just a function of setting your site on a destination and allowing the universe to assist you in bringing you your end result. Don't be afraid of anyones 'no'. A no does not define you. A no is nothing more than a small portion of a future 'yes' coming your way! Have a productive day.
