Rejection is a natural part of life.

You get rejected from your friends, at school, when you're dating, when applying for jobs, asking for a raise, making sales calls, trying to get a business going, and the list goes on.
In sales, there is a general rule that you have to contact a prospect 7 times before you get to a "yes".
Your life doesn't get worse when you get rejected, it stays the same. So why worry?
If you ask for a raise and you don't get it, you still have your original salary.
If you ask a girl out of a date and she says no, you are no worse off than before.

Some Will, Some Won't So What - Someone's Waiting.
Some people are going to say yes, and some are going to say no. So what?! There is someone out there waiting for you and your ideas. It is simply a numbers game. You have to keep asking until you get to a yes.
Commit to 100 "No's"
Instead looking for that "yes", how about you aim for 100 "No's"?
You might have heard about Colonel Sanders, who was rejected 1009 times before someone accepted his recipe and business proposal? He later went on to have over 18,000 restaurants around the world.
Whether its committing to 100 cups of coffee to find the right partner, or making 100 sales presentations, everyone I know has got to "YES" before hitting 100 "No's".
Commitment. Persistence.
To your success,
Trevor Long
