How many NO’s have you heard in the last week?

Hopefully you answered, A LOT! In order to be successful in business and sales, you want to rack up as many NO’s as you possibly can. And, those NO’s do not mean you’re a failure. NO’s are just lessons on the path to YES.

This week’s guest, Pamela Slim, is no stranger to the word NO, in fact, the number one piece of advice that Pamela would tell her younger self, is to stop taking rejection personally and to keep racking up the NO.

It may seem counterintuitive to rack up NO’s, but that’s simply because you allow those NO’s to affect your confidence. Instead, you need to start looking at them as lessons you can learn from.

If you’re ready to stop fearing rejections, then this episode of Success Unfiltered is a MUST LISTEN!

Enjoy, and thank you for listening and tuning into Success Unfiltered!
