I choose to "embrace the suck".
In action:
Myself to myself: I hate (insert whatever, lets say sales)! Yep, this is going to suck. Ha, its going to suck so bad! Well it's going to suck but I have to do it so let's go!
Myself to customer: Please buy this car it's awesome.
Customer: I hate your car.
Myself to myself: Oh man, that sucked! I hate rejection but....the next sales guy might not be tough enough to stick it out. If I just keep going, I can build a "wall" with the rejection.
Myself to customer: I know right! What would a car that you didn't hate look like?
Customer: I hate you.
Myself to myself: Ahh, yeah this sucks but now its funny! I'm building walls for my competitors!
Myself to customer: I know right! So what car would you want to buy from Gabby Reese?
Customer: She's hot. I'd probably look good in a corvette.
Myself to customer: Take this one for a spin and see if it feels right.
Customer: No. (and leaves)
Myself to myself: Wow, total suck! Glad I was prepared and found the humor in it. I bet I can't find 20 people this week to treat me that bad. Challenge accepted.
When you "embrace the suck" you take the personal part of rejection out of the equation. The rejection (failure) becomes "feedback". Feedback makes you stronger. Stronger gets you to your goal.
A great resource on this:
Hit up @jon.a and read his post about dropping pool weights (post #9 in that thread)
Good luck!
