Don't Let a NO Stop You.

Yes is the Destination; No is How You Get There! N.O. No. For many people, the word no is a brick wall standing between them and success. It's estimated that 51% of business professionals say that their biggest fear is that the customer will say "no" and reject them. 38% said the willingness to face rejection is the No 1 quality of a great salesperson....

Here are Five Steps for Turning No into a Powerful Positive.

1. Change your mental model of success and failure:
Most people operate with the following mental model of success and failure:
SUCCESS ("Yes")<---- YOU ---->FAILURE ("No")

The reality is that to achieve sustainable success, the model should look like this:
YOU---->FAILURE ("No") ----> SUCCESS ("Yes")

2. Intentionally Increase Your Failure Rate:
If it's true that the more we fail the more we succeed (and it is), then your immediate goal should be to intentionally increase the number of times you fail.

3. Start Setting No Goals:
We have all been taught the traditional approach to goal-setting for increasing sales or achieving an objective--in other words, getting people to say "yes" to us. But what if the way to achieve massive success was actually the reverse? What if the best, most guaranteed way to get what you want was to set your goal around the number of times you hear "no" instead? Well it is...

4. Celebrate Your Failures, Not Just Your Successes:
It's natural to be excited about your successes, and it's natural to want to celebrate them, give yourself a reward, even throw a party. But if the key to success is to intentionally increase your failure rate, then it makes sense to celebrate your setbacks as well. Celebrating failure is one of the best ways to stop letting No have a negative hold on your thoughts and emotions.

5. See Courage As A Muscle:
If failure is a vehicle that can take you to success, then courage is the fuel. But it's important to recognize that courage is a muscle. And, like any muscle, you must develop and strengthen it with lots of exercise. As the saying goes, you either use it or lose it, and it's no different with courage.
