Rejection can be brutal. Some people take it better than others.
BIGG success is life on your own terms. But even if you’re living the BIGG life, things won’t always go your way.
You won’t reach the BIGG success you crave if you let rejection get you down.
So here are 4 tips to help you deal with rejection:
Stay confident
When you’re comfortable in your own skin, you won’t take rejection personally. You’ll accept it as part of your journey to BIGG success.
You’ll keep trying – one more thing, then one more. That’s what you have to do to succeed BIGG!
And don’t forget to take a confidence booster.
It’s a numbers game
What if you knew that every time you got a “No”, you were one step closer to “Yes”?
The most celebrated authors know this. So do actors and other entertainers.
It’s also true of job seekers. And sales people. And entrepreneurs.
See “No” as a positive – it means you’re one step closer to success!
Don’t take the rejection personally
It’s them. It’s not you.
That’s our fun way of saying it’s highly unlikely that they’re rejecting YOU.
We know this isn’t easy sometimes. It’s easy to listen to that little voice that tells you that it’s all about you.
Tell it to shut up! It’s really important to do so if you’re going to benefit from the rejection.
Yeah, that’s right…you can benefit from the rejection.
Try to find out why
If you take it personally, you won’t look for the reason underlying the rejection. Then you’ll get caught in a vicious circle.
You’ll be more likely to get rejected again because you’re not learning anything from each rejection.
You want to understand why it occurred so you can answer this question:
Is the reason for the rejection something you can control?
Maybe it’s the offer.
Or the presentation.
The design.
The wording.
Their circumstances.
Or any number of other things.
If you can’t find out why, or it’s something you can’t control, keep pushing.
If you do find out and it’s something you can control, celebrate the rejection!
You can make the necessary changes and try again. It’s how you find BIGG success!

Have you ever met someone who really seemed to have it all?
I love spreadsheets so that’s what I use. I divide my tasks every day by priority – “A priorities” are those things I must do, “B” are what I need to do, and “C” are things I want to do. Then I order the tasks within the categories. So the first thing I work on is my “A1” item.
Sounds like a steak sauce, George! I like the old-fashioned pen and paper. For me, it works better to write out everything on a legal pad. Then every day, I pull off the most important things I have to do from that paper and put it on a sticky note. I have everything on my main list but I put the most important things front and center. Another thing that I really like about this is getting to crumble up those sticky notes when I’ve finished these important tasks.
