How hearing "NO" Can be a Good Thing
Most people spend their days doing everything they can to avoid failure, "rejection" and having people say NO to them! What if you could hear NO more often and that would bring you greater levels of success?
Intentionally increasing failure is the basis for the "Go for No" concept. "Go for No" means the more people that tell you "no" the closer you will get to ultimate success - or in other words, "yes." Most people, if they actually counted the number of times they hear “no” during a typical day or week, would be shocked to see how low the number actually is.
Change your mental model of “success” and “failure”
Most people operate with a mental model where they see themselves in the middle, with success on one end and failure on the other. They do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure. But, what if the model were reconfigured?
What if, rather than seeing failure as something to be avoided it became a “stepping-stone” on the path to success? In other words: Success is the destination. Failure is how you get there. To achieve significant success in today’s world, failure is not just a possibility…it is a requirement. We must see success and failure for what they truly are: not opposites, but opposite sides of the same coin.
Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz teach others to breakthrough self-imposed limitations and achieve their full potential by intentionally increasing their failure rate. They are the authors of "Go for No!" a short story written specifically for people who must face failure and rejection to be successful. Go for No is available at visit www.goforno.com.
