10,000 “No’s” Equals One “Yes!”

by Julie on February 20, 2010 · 3 comments

Rejection is a reoccurring challenge for all of us.

A2D2's Cirque-tacular, "GREED" Act, www.a2d2.ca

The most effective learners among us know that real value is gained when we learn from those “nos.”

How many cold calls does it take to land your first client? How many auditions must you undergo before you land the role of your dreams? How many ads did you send out before you sold the first ticket to your self-produced show?

Chances are you’ve got to try, try again.

But don’t worry -there’s nothing wrong with “no.”

“No” just means your one step closer to your “yes.”

Time to face some rejection -you’ll be glad you did in the end.

As I gear up for more cold calls, I’m ready to embrace some rejection – bring it on :)
Always a good read Julie! Love your articles.

Hey Holly,

Thanks for the love Girl!

I wrote this piece because I have some tough phone calls to make where rejection is a distinct possibility. So I guess we’re in the same boat, but we’ll be better off for enduring the struggle in the end!

Stay strong fellow entrepreneur…Onward!
