I applied to forty two jobs the year I got laid off and kept every rejection in a folder. Last month a kid I mentor got his first no. I read him a few of mine and he laughed so hard he forgot to be sad. #Rejection #Resilience #Career #MarQuisTrill

Great piece of “The Prestige” lore is that Nolan says the only person to ever turn him down for an acting role was David Bowie (his idol). Nolan begged for a meeting and finally convinced Bowie by rewriting the scene when he shows up as Nikola Tesla: “The only ‘no’ I would cop to is David Bowie for ‘The Prestige.’ He was my great idol and everything, and I thought he'd be perfect to play Nikola Tesla. We sent him the script and everything. He said ‘no’. It was first time really ever, I went back and said, ‘Can I just go and meet him? Can I try and convince him in the room?’ They agreed, and I hastily wrote him a better speech for his first appearance, turned up with a new script, and…basically begged and got him to do it. So I turned the ‘no’ into a ‘yes.’”

Sales mindset tip: your prospect should never be able to tell what kind of day you're having. 😄 The yes doesn't make me. The no doesn't break me. I show up as the same guy on the record month and the slow one, and that steadiness is what people end up buying from. Send this to someone in sales who needs it today. 🙏 #salesmindset #salestips #networkmarketing #entrepreneur #mindset

"I don't have charisma" is a comfortable lie. You haven't practiced enough yet. Psychologists call this the Fundamental Attribution Error: blaming a permanent trait for a skill you haven't built.

The stubbornness will save her life.
