A Note on Rejection

I've been thinking a lot lately about rejection. I used to call it the "R" word, because I was so afraid of it. Not only that, I used to run from it. I would rather experience anything but rejection.

When I think about why most Network Marketers fear the phone, I realize that it's not really the phone they fear; it's the "R" word. Nobody likes the feeling of being rejected.

If you're a newbie, keep this in mind: It gets a lot easier. The nervousness, the butterflies, and the urge to procrastinate eventually subside. They never completely leave, but they get much easier to deal with.

The trick is to form a habit of consistent, daily action. Once you get into this habit, most of your fears vanish. It's not easy at first. Keep in mind, you're breaking out of your comfort zone. It's a very good thing, but it feels pretty bad when you first start.

By the way, these days I crave rejection. I've determined that the more I'm rejected, the more successful I'll become. Actually, I learned this from reading The Business School, by Robert Kiyosaki. This book is a must read for Network Marketers.
