One of the gems I gleamed from the two day conference was that “yes” is the destination but”no” is how you get there.Rejection is something all of us wish to avoid at any cost ,and when we hear no to something we desire there is a natural tendency to stop the search.There are levels of past failures that prevent us from hanging tough ,and continuing to move toward yes.There is an enormous difference in failing at something and being a failure.This sparkling piece of data will enable me to be more resilient when I seek speaking engagements or opportunities to acquire ongoing consulting or coaching gigs. I would invite you to keep seeking the no’s because if you hang tough yes will happen.
