It is because of them I’m doing it myself

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.

“It hurts to view rejection through a positive lens. But if you can do it, you will come back smarter, happier, healthier, and wealthier.”

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!

Hang In There

No matter what, hang in there. Never give up. Never quit. If you quit once, you will quit again. Don’t be a quitter, be a winner.

When you are going through tough times- in life, in your business, in your relationships, never quit. Hang in there. Give it one more chance to survive. When things are really tough, remember your goals, remember your dreams. Remember the reasons you are doing what you are doing. You are in your job for a reason. Always remember “why.”

Tough times are not meant to break you, they are a part of who we are as human beings. There is no growth without trying times. When things are tough, don’t give up. Focus on the results, not the problems, not the obstacles. You will face obstacles, but don’t let them be your main focus. If you focus too much on the obstacles, you will stop trying. And if you stop trying, you have given up.

You are not a loser until you quit what you are pursuing. You are not a loser until you quit reaching toward your goals. You are not a loser until you call yourself a loser. You are not a loser until you fall down and never get up.

Instead of quitting, stop and take a break. Reflect on what you have been doing. Change your strategies if you have to. Assess yourself for what you think is stopping you from moving forward. If you cannot figure them yourself, it is time to seek professional help. Don’t waste your time trying to change what you cannot change. Change what you can change. If you cannot help yourself, seek help from a trusted mentor. Make sure the person understands your situation. Don’t quit because it is too hard, quit because you have finished your job.

Winston Churchill said,”Never, Never, Never give up!” Yes, you should never give up.
