Notes from this episode are below.

How do you handle a NO?
It’s a matter of attitude! 

Know that NOs are a part of life and adopt a mindset of using it to your advantage or be continuously disappointed. It’s your choice.

Here’s how to control your response when you get a NO…

  1. Consider NO, slammed doors, hang-ups, or insults from others as a definitive response that helps you to move forward. This is better than silence! 


  2. When you get a NO, always smile, say thank you and move on to another potential target.


  3. When someone gives you a “no,” that doesn't determine your future. It's an opportunity to get a "yes" from someone else and create a new connection.


  4. Don't expect a “yes” every time. Prepare yourself for a “no” and imagine how you’ll handle it.

 

I challenge you to think about how you respond when you get a “no.”

What's your best possible reaction?
