INVISIBLE

The Great White Yard Shark looks for places to hide when it’s time to take her morning medicine. She is getting old and was recently prescribed yet another daily medication. This one is tuna flavored and she loves it. She knows however that to get the tuna she has to bear the awful tasting first medicine. Life is like this sometimes.

IT HURTS

To get to the good stuff we may need to wade through some muddy waters. Too many people miss out on the goodies in order to avoid rejection. Salespeople are the guiltiest of all. Many salespeople are afraid to talk to prospects that are likely to say, “NO!”

“I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me, ‘Don’t you want to have a normal job and a normal family?’ I guess that would be good advice for some people, but I wanted to act.”
-Jennifer Aniston

Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky said it another way;
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

How many shots will you take today? These and many other quotes on the subject amount to “Life Lessons” for the willing observer. Learn to handle rejection and keep on going. Whether it is a sales prospect, a job prospect or even a love interest, never let a rejection keep you from moving on to the next prospect.

SUCCESS MADE EASY
I have a chapter in SUCCESS MADE EASY entitled, “Stuff Happens.” I’m sure that you have heard that saying. Yes, I cleaned it up a little for the book, but its true; STUFF HAPPENS, it happens to everyone. It’s not the “stuff” that matters, it’s how you deal with it. Deal with it head on, move on and discover success.
