When people say “no” to you, don’t take it personal. You should be happy that someone said no to your request. Don’t take it personal. View it through your positive lens, not through your negative lens.
It hurts to view rejection through a positive lens. But if you can do it, you will come back smarter, happier, healthier, and wealthier. Yes, wealthier, because the first rejection gave you enough time to prepare for your next move.
Sometimes when people say no to us, they don’t mean it in a bad way. They are telling you to go home and prepare before you come back. If you do, it is a win-win business. I know people say no to us for other reasons. This place is to small to run through the entire list. Next time.
Next time when someone says no to your request, don’t cry about it. Go home and prepare for a stronger comeback. Think about what went wrong the first time. Think about what you are going to do differently this time. Try not to repeat the same process. If you do it, you will get the same results.

If you have something in mind that you have been dancing around, rejection time is the perfect time to jump on and act on it. For example, if you have been planning for years to start your own business, rejection time is the right time to work on your plan. If you don’t know what to do, you can get valuable information from your local business centers. If you have been planning to get back to school, rejection time is the right time to enroll that course. Use your time wisely. This is not the time to waste time. This is the time to get stuff done. This is the time to prove to yourself that you can get things done. Albert Einstein famously said, “I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.”
You need people to succeed, but when rejected, you can do it yourself.
Yes, you can!
