Entrepreneurial Development - Rejection!

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Let’s talk a little reality today. You obviously see the value and beauty of your home business opportunity, or you wouldn’t be involved right? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could see it – if everyone could be as excited as you are about this company? Yes it would. But don’t count on it happening. That is reality. 

Your opportunity may be one of the most fun and rewarding businesses in the world, but eventually all of us are faced with certain widespread and universal challenges. No matter how long we’re involved in a business, and no matter how successful we become, there is always the possibility that we will be temporarily shot down by the most prevalent and dangerous weapon of all – the Rejection Rocket. It can and will strike anytime, rendering us virtually immobile, thus destroying our enthusiasm and excitement, which are the essential qualities for success.

Everyone faces rejection in life, but what makes our form of rejection so devastating is that it often comes from the very people we most love and respect: our spouse, our parents, our best friends and business associates. It’s a fact that rejection causes more people to fail in this business than any other factor.

So what do you do? First, realize it will not all be about rejection. You WILL find friends, family, business associates and casual acquaintances that will be eager to talk with you about what you’re doing; they’ll have an open mind and they’ll be eager to also be a part of your business. But it’s those very first “No’s” that can be the hardest to take. That’s what we want to prepare you for. That way it won’t be able to destroy you. You’ll be ready for it if it happens.

We would love to say that every single person who hears about your business will want to join.  We can’t do that because we know there are a few single minded people in the world. 

One of your biggest obstacles will be, “This is too good to be true.” Getting them to the website and the Presentation Business Overviews will convince them but it may take some time to get them there.

The way to deal with rejection is to CHOOSE to allow it to motivate you to succeed. Turn your battles into a motivational force and let that force propel you through those early rejections.

Let’s look at this… It really is true that a “no, thank you” is not a personal rebuff. A waitress pouring coffee in a coffee shop might be told, “no, thanks” by one, “no more for now,” by another. She might be told, “I have plenty, thanks”, or even “I don’t like coffee.” But none of these responses sends her running to the lady’s room in tears because all her customers rejected her. And yet that is comparable to what happens to some brand new entrepreneurs. They take “No,” however it is said, too personally. Think of sharing your business as a sifting process. Like the waitress walking around with a coffeepot, we are merely searching for those who WOULD like to have what we have to offer. Accepting “No” is merely part of the process of finding those who say “Yes.”

You know, often the mere fear and anticipation of rejection will keep some new members at home. Fear of getting started is the primary reason for failure. It is an obvious but unspoken phenomenon. You might hide behind the need to learn more, or you want to understand the powerful program better. You figure if you don’t talk to anyone, you can’t be rejected – right? You also can’t build a business and make any money. You’ll go weeks or months doing this “busywork,” then decide this opportunity just doesn’t work.

The reason will probably be clear to everyone but you. The mere anticipation of rejection leads to non-activity, a certain road to failure. In traditional business, things may just happen, but in Life success comes to those who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!

We’ve already talked about your immediate goals and your long-term goals. Let your goals be foremost in your mind. “See” them on a daily, hourly basis. Let your dreams and your determination carry you beyond the rejection rocket. Know that it is going to happen. Accept that it is going to happen. Make it your friend instead of your enemy. Know it will make you stronger. Know it will help you surround yourself only with people who want to change their lives. Know that it is these people who are going to help you achieve the financial independence you want for your life.

Be sure you make the numbers work for you. If you only send a few E-mails or hand out a couple Business Cards, the act of rejection by those few becomes bigger than life. If you contact a few dozen people each week, rejection is no problem because a bunch of them will always get involved. Remember this law of balance: increase the number of approaches and decrease the impact of rejection.

One final thought. Think about these people who are rejecting you and your business. Are they wildly successful? Do they have true financial independence? Are they living the kind of life you dream about? Then why would you really care what they think? Whatever it is they are doing sure isn’t working!  File them away for future contact and move on! Don’t let them defeat you!! Show them they should have listened to you in the first place!!

One more final thought is to tell you to call someone you know who is also working to change their life. It might be your best friend; it might be someone else. When the rejection rocket has landed on your head and heart, and you’re wondering what in the world you’re doing, call someone.

Entreprenurial Development - Throw Your Cap!

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I recently read an anecdote about the Irish writer Frank O’Connor. When he was a young boy, he and a good friend spent a lot of time wandering their Irish countryside. Whenever they came to an orchard with a wall too high to climb, they would throw their caps over the wall so they would have no choice but to figure out a way to retrieve them.

I love that!

Instead of seeing a wall, they saw a challenge.

Instead of seeing themselves blocked off, they saw an opportunity to rethink the obvious.

Instead of seeing their day ruined by something bigger than themselves, they saw a giant to be vanquished.

The WallBy throwing their caps over a wall they couldn’t climb over, these enterprising young men taught themselves how to think creatively. They also chose to be excited over an obstacle instead of being defeated by it.

This is such a great lesson for us.

Each of us will face walls that at first appear too high to climb. These are times when we feel trapped by something much bigger than we think we can handle - times when we feel overwhelmed or even paralyzed by fear or anxiety.

We have several choices at those times.

We can:
- try to ignore the issue and hope it goes away,
- run away from it and hope we can out-distance it, or
- face it head-on and decide to deal with it.

I believe that most of the time, we need to choose the last option. The moment we do, we’ve started the process of overcoming that which is blocking our way.

Let’s allow our minds to think beyond the norm and imagine ways to recover our equilibrium by coming up with as many options as possible to reclaim our “hats.”

When you feel too overwhelmed to come up with options by yourself (and who doesn’t at times?) talk with a trusted friend, colleague, or counselor. Or divorce yourself from your problem and brainstorm alternatives as if it belongs to someone else and you are helping them come up with different options.

Knowing your hat is on the other side of the wall lets you know the wall is not the end - it is only a challenge, an opportunity to help you see and travel farther on the journey we call life.

Choose to be a hat thrower and you will definitely be on the right road to living your dreams. Today, as you take the needed steps toward your passions don’t be discouraged by what looks like a roadblock!

You can overcome anything in your way. It may take a little while but you’ll make it! I know you will because…

You can be have and do anything that you want to.  You do have the power!
