035 | Todd Durkin Shares How a NO from Nike and Adidas Led to Success!

Todd Durkin, MA, CSCS, is an internationally recognized strength, speed and conditioning coach, personal trainer, body worker, motivational speaker, and author who motivates, educates, and inspires people worldwide. He is the founder of Fitness Quest 10 in San Diego, CA, a world-class facility that provides personal training, strength and conditioning, therapeutic massage and bodywork, pilates, yoga, nutrition, chiropractic and physical therapy programs.

Are you struggling to find the positive in every NO that you receive?

My guest, Todd Durkin, shares some of his devastating NO’s, but how each and every one was turned around by keeping his mind right. Todd shares how any one of us can use this same method to improve our mindset which will then improve our sales calls and revenue. 

Todd experienced a pretty massive NO, when he was turned down by Nike and Adidas. You’d think might lead someone to throw their hands up and quit, but instead it was this NO that put fire in Todd’s belly to keep on pushing through. In the end those NO’s are what led to some of Todd’s biggest success.

Take that as a lesson, never allow a single NO to bring you down for too long. Use each one as a stepping stone to learn something new, and keep your mind right by repeating positive mantras when the going gets tough.

Todd shares how he went from a people pleasing paper boy to an incredibly successful coach, in this MUST LISTEN episode of Success Unfiltered.
