Do you LOVE rejection?
Of course not, no one does however, rejection can be a powerful motivator. Why? Because every "no" you get is moving you closer to your goal.
Tony Robbins tells the store of how Colonel Sanders went door to door to restaurant owners pitching his fried chicken recipe. he was rejected hundreds and hundreds of times before getting his first "yes." Then before you know it, Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants were popping up everywhere.
So what makes people keep moving forward in the face of massive rejection? Three words:
Passion. Mission. Belief.
Are you passionate enough about what you want to accomplish? Is your mission strong enough to help you through the tough times? Do you have enough belief in what you're doing AND in yourself to travel steadily toward your goal even when the inevitable storms set in?
I'm going to leave you today with a quote from Rod Stewart's song "Never Give Up On A Dream." (the actual song is beautiful, powerful and inspiring. You can download it now from
i-tunes for just .99. Do it and you'll thank me.) Read and feel these lyrics:
"If there's doubt and you're cold,don't you worry what the future holds.We've gotta have heroes to teach us all to never give up on a dream.
Claim the road, touch the sun,no force on earth could stop you run.When your heart bursts like the sun never never give up on a dream.
Shadows fall, daylight dies,freedom never got a place to hide. Search forever photo finish line but never give up on your dream.
Crazy notions fill your head,you gotta break all the records set.Push yourself until the end but don't you ever give up on your dream.
Now listen to me, you don't need no restrictions yeah. Oh, sing it again you can't live on sympathy.You just need to go the distance,oh the distance that's all you need to be free,to be free, to be free, to be free.
Sing a song for me children you don't need no restrictions yeah you can't live on sympathy.You just need to go the distance,that's all you need to be free, Now listen to me!
Inspiring all to never lose,it'll take a long long time before they fill your shoes it'll take somebody, somebody, who's lot like you who never gave up on a dream. No, you never gave up on a dream no, you never gave up on a dream. You never, never, never,never gave up on a dream."
Kick butt, make mucho dee-nero!
Dave Dee
P.S. Recently, during a private coaching call, one of my clients asked me what my favorite Dan Kennedy product was.
That's a tough question to answer because I have 'em all and use 'em all. But after giving it some thought I said, "One of the most valuable Kennedy resources I own is The Ultimate Information Entrepreneur."
Then I quickly added, "This manual is a mess. It's made up of photocopies of stuff from Dan's private files, some of the references are outdated and it's ugly as hell. But, for anyone who wants to make a ton of dee-nero in the information marketing business, it is priceless."
My copy is highlighted, underlined, page corners folded over because I am constantly referring to it. It is a veritable gold mine, albeit a very homely goldmine.
If you don't own it, you need to get it. Check it out:
