I read a GREAT book by John Furhman, called “Reject Me, I Love It!” and for this month, we are using this book to share some tips on how important it is as working moms to have PERSERVERANCE in our business!
One of Fuhrman’s Rejection secrets, what if you believed…
You ARE A Wonderful Person!?
As Furhman states, and I agree, we fear rejection because we take it as a personal insult, that it has something to do with or about us!. The truth is that in most rejection cases, it has nothing to do with us.
When I coach moms we usually find the real fears are in “our stories”, or what we believe to be true about ourselves. So…if we believe “people don’t like us or won’t like the product/service that we sell”, then anytime we get rejected, we use that as proof that our story is true!
So as a new challenge… what if we decided to create a NEW STORY in our mind that says “I am liked, well received and LOTS of people LOVE my product/service”. What do you think will happen? Are you willing to try it?
Another tip Furhman suggests, read a personal development book for 15 minutes a day-when you decide to start on a journey of self discovery, the personal and professional rewards can be endless. It can help you develop new skills to acheive your goals and a new awareness of yourself and others! Before you know it, your confidence is higher, your heart is more open and accepting, and your fears may no longer hold you back.
What have you got to loose? Let the world receive all the wonderful things YOU have to offer! Have an “Attitude of Grattitude” to see that rejection can be a gift given to us to learn and grow.
Persistenly yours,
