Last week, I booked 3 keynotes & got 7 rejections.
Which did I think about more?
If you’re anything like me,
The answer is easy.
The L’s.
”What is wrong w/ me?”
”Is it my assets?”
”Is it the video?
Years ago,
These messages would WRECK me.
I’d spend weeks thinking about a SINGLE missed opportunity.
Now…
I’ve gotten that down to under an hour 😂
Over time,
I’ve learned to let it go.
I now know that in order to be successful,
(Especially in this industry)
It is going to take LOSING more than you WIN.
If I plan on doing 70 events this year…
That is AT LEAST 200 rejections.
Are the 200 gut punches worth it?
Absolutely.
Why?
Because they get easier.
Or maybe you just get better at handling them.
Micheal Jordan said:
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career.
I've lost almost 300 games.
26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
This year,
Decide to run TOWARD rejection…
Not away from it.
Decide to pursue challenge…
Not avoid it.
When you do,
Resilience becomes second nature.
When you do,
You become a force of nature.
Happy New Year friends!
Hope you all are channeling that ‘New Year, New Me’ energy and getting after your goals 🔥👊🏼
Your friend,
