I watch The Big Idea on CNBC and they asked a question and I am interested in the answer so I bought it to you all (I know alot of quitters or people that are scared to try so they probably wouldn't be there in the first place). Here is the real question:
How do you not lose focus when everything seems to be going against you? When things don't work out, or every bank you go to says no. Things of that nature. How do you handle that?
I have been an internet marketer and mlm'er for a while now and neither of those seem to be as hard as it is to launch a business. It is as if the NO from the bank is a lot harsher than someone hanging up on you or yelling at you on the phone or computer. Is it the fact that you are sitting in front of the banker that makes it so bad? How do you keep confidence in your voice once you are at your third bank of the day?
My answer, I view Business the same way as I view learning to ride a bike. In the beginning you may fall, but each time you fall it makes you want to ride even more. I let the no's empower me. Each time I hear no, it makes me even more excited to keep moving. Each no is like practice for a yes.:cheers:
