80 doors, 60 rejections, 20 new customers per day.
(Best of 2024 Newsletter Series)
This was life for one of my clients.
She knew that it was guaranteed that she would get 20 new customers each day when she knocked on 80 doors.
60 would either not be home, slam the door in her face, or politely tell her no thanks.
This was a normal day for her.
The rejections were not a problem.
They were a part of it for her, no different than hitting red lights on the drive to the grocery store.
The problem when we get one rejection is we make it personal.
And It’s 100% never personal.
It’s the way of it.
It’s the pathway to the destination.
She was very good at her job.
The best.
She won awards.
She was consistently in the top performers at the company.
So when we decide to go after a big goal, & we KNOW that rejection is always part of it.
It changes the experience.
It’s not about saying: Oh I’ve been rejected, it hurts, it’s a punch in the gut, I’ll never get this.
It’s NONE of those things.

It’s about saying: Ok Where’s the next door? Who’s the next person?
& Literally N.O. Stands FOR: Next. Opportunity.
Committing to that next opportunity.
Getting smarter & taking action after it, as if that IS your job.
Every success is built on a mountain of rejections.
Our job is not to avoid them.
It’s to stay committed to the end result, NOT the instant gratification that a yes gives us.
To keep going even when no one is giving us a Cookie.
No’s can be moved through quickly.
Or slowly and painfully.
That part is up to you.
But there is one universal truth.
They must be moved through one way or another.
The faster you do, the more you already have behind you, and the closer you are.
Build up the mental toughness to move through them.
That is the skill that gets you a six-figure job, a promotion, and anything else you choose to go after.
