How to Embrace Rejection
- You need to bring in clients.
- "I'll have to pitch more prospects," you tell yourself.
Secretly, you're afraid of rejection -- but you block those feeeeeelings out, and hope for the best.
"If I can just get these clients, my life = great!" you tell yourself.
What do you do?
- You pitch to 10 prospects.
- They all reject you -- except for one who gives you a "Call me in a month" shebang.
What happens?
- You feel S.U.C.K.
- You want to jump off a cliff.
- You want to quit business, forever.
BOO
Here's How to Embrace Rejection
Our human happiness is relative to X.
- If we expect a great result, but get a good result = We sad.
- If we expect a terrible result, but get a bad result = We happy.
So, if you want to embrace rejection, before you give your pitches, just think of the frugliest rejection you could get:
- "This next dude is going to cuss me the @#$#@ out. He will laugh in my face, then talk about my mom and her bucktooth."
Why?
- You set yourself up for something freakish-bad.
- Most likely, you'll get a more positive outcome than you had expected.
- You feel happy.
Win.
Expect the $#@% worst.
