Day 12(30 days to freedom) Embrace Rejection

My mentor Jack Canfield says is best: Some will, some won't, so what, someone's waiting. Let this phrase comfort you when others turn you down. The key is to shift your mindset around rejection and embrace it as a major step forward. Here is the thing, close to 95% of people will never chase their dreams. They will stop short of the brass ring as a result of fear of failure, fear of looking bad. Only 5% will truly succeed as a result of embracing failure and rejection as a catalyst for growth. We all have such limited time on this earth - we don't get more than one shot! Most people that reject your idea are simply to afraid of stepping into their own idea so who cares what they think. Do you want to continually live in the shadows of someone else or do you want to step into the light and be remembered as someone that made a difference in other peoples lives? 

I don't know about you but I don't have any more time for the ankle biters that want to keep others down. This is my time and your time to shine and rise above the status quo. We are all meant for more and it's upto us to shout our greatness from the roof tops. I'm leaving this earth with no regrets baby. People think it's easy for Angela and I but I can honestly tell you that personal development takes daily intention. We choose to reject rejection and not let others influence our goals and our mission. We only want the best for others and we want to inspire then to take action so we know that will put up a lot of red flags along the way. We are often glorified as much as we are vilified and you know what we love everything that shows up! 

My tips to help you reject rejection are as follows: 

1. Always share your passion and enthusiasm for what you are doing. 

2. It takes at least 7 touch points to reach someone so never stop sharing different styles of mediums, a video, a blog or just a friendly phone call. 

3. Don't take it personally, a no simply means they have not seen enough of You or your idea so never stop sharing. 

4. Move on to the next person, there are over 7 billion people on the planet and you only need a few to embrace your idea. 

5. Discipline your dissapointment by embracing the rejection as a catalyst for your greatest growth. 

Along your journey to creating freedom , remember all of the rejections that the great ones had to endure: Henry Ford, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen King, MichaelJordan and Thomas Edison to name a few. Greatness comes to those that persevere.
