REJECTION

06/10/2010 09:35



I am very enthused to address the topic of REJECTION!  How you handle rejection is in direct proportion to how you maintain a persistent level of action in order to feel fulfilled and find your WHY in life.  As a super-achiever in life (which means you have your WHY in place), you are driven to fulfill your personal goals set for you on a daily basis.  In the course of this daily action, you will inevitably encounter rejection and the incredible power it exerts over you!

Just when you are feeling great and your business is beginning to grow, you will experience rejection.  Out of nowhere, it will slap you right in the face like an icy, cold wind from the Arctic, and your little voice inside begins to doubt whether or not you can really achieve what you initially set out for.  YOU MUST LEARN TO LOVE REJECTION!  You must become excited when you get rejected while, at the same time, you attempt to forge ahead!

The most successful people are those who have felt the pains of rejection, but because of their DETERMINATION they pressed onward and won the game.  As you are building your business, you need to set a goal and continue toward it regardless of the degree of discomfort that rejection may be causing you!  Rejection is an extremely negative force; therefore, it is to your benefit to channel this force to produce positive results!

Thomas Edison is famous for the 10,000 ways that a person couldn't produce electricity as a result of his numerous attempts to reach his goal - producing electricity!  As we all know, he eventually succeeded.  But rather than seeing his previous attempts as a negative force, he channeled all that he learned to produce the positive result of finally having reached his goal!  You too will develop incredible character as you continue to build your business, REGARDLESS of the rejection that you will experience along the way.  As a super-achiever, you will use your knowledge of rejection and its power to your advantage!  EXPECT REJECTION, LOVE REJECTION, LEARN FROM REJECTION AND YOU WILL SUCEED!

IN SUCCESS LANGUAGE, FAILURE MEANS YOU ARE ALMOST THERE!

06/10/2010 09:34



I have to admit the title of my section this week is OUTSTANDING!  We all know as we are progressing towards our personal goals, dreams and aspirations that we will fail repeatedly, and then all of a sudden we achieve our ultimate outcome and attain our WHY in LIFE!  As I state on my story page, "Each failure is a stepping stone to Success, which in turn will become a very long and lovely stone walkway into the castle of your DREAMS!"  You must truly internalize the need to fail in life.

Most people fail more between the ages of 16-25 and then they don’t fail ever again in life, which means they never SUCCEED!  You see, at the age 25 the majority of people lose their steam and decide to live a life instead of designing a lifestyle for themselves and their families.  I am very proud to say that I have failed numerous times in my life.  Just ask my parents, they will tell you ..."but John you went to college just get a JOB!"  As entrepreneurs, we all know that we never have jobs because whatever we do has our life-print on it, which represents our potential.  The following is a list of people that we all know who failed before they succeeded.  I cannot emphasize enough that you need to continue to try over and over until you succeed and realize that, as I've said before, "Each failure is a stepping stone to Success, which in turn will become a very long and lovely stone walkway into the castle of your DREAMS!"

FAILURES…BUT NOT QUITE
--After Fred Astaire's first screen test, a 1933 memo from the MGM testing director said, "Can't act.  Slightly bald.  Can dance a little."  Astaire kept that memo over the fireplace in his Beverly Hills home.

--A relatively unsuccessful marketer of restaurant equipment, he didn't sell his first hamburger until age 52.  At a time when many people prepare for retirement, Ray Kroc built McDonald's from a handful of hamburger stands into the world's largest food chain.

--When his older brother was killed during WWII, he first withdrew into a shell.  Then he began to listen to the radio to ease his pain.  Soon he was dreaming about hosting his own radio show.  That led Dick Clark to start American Bandstand.

--Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper for lacking ideas.  He also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.

The question that I have for you now is, "Do you realize how you must be proud of your failures because they really are successes?"  Many of my workshop attendees have heard me say "...experience is what you receive when you do not achieve what you desire."  I suggest to print this out and put it on your desk where you can read this article every day and remind yourself about Fred Astaire, Ray Kroc, Dick Clark, and Walt Disney and say to yourself, "What is MY story going to be?"  You need to fail in order to ultimately succeed in LIFE!  After all, in success language, failure means you are almost there!
