Women In Business - Don’t Be Afraid of NO

Women in business often stop themselves from asking for the sale or coming out of their comfort zone because they are afraid of the word "no." With the right mindset, you can turn the negativity around and make "No" a very positive thing! You’ll want to watch the video and read the article. Be sure to turn up your speakers and also the volume on the video player below!



Being afraid of hearing “no” can stop you from:

• Going for your goals
• Asking for the sale
• Prospecting
• Networking and even,
• Coming out of your comfort zone.

I’m here to say that you can do it, you can turn the fear and discomfort of hearing “no” into a positive skill for personal and professional growth. Every “no” has the potential of taking you one step closer to truly understanding:

• What isn’t working
• What you shouldn’t be saying
• What you don’t want.

It’s up to you to begin turning things around so a “no” becomes a positive learning and growth experience and, not something to be feared. A “no” isn’t about personal or professional rejection, it is a way of reminding you that the other person does not “know” enough to give you a “yes.”

Let me ask you this:

• What can you fine-tune during your presentation so that you’ll get to a “yes” more often?
• Should you be more prepared emotionally and/or physically before meeting with a prospect or going to a networking function?
• Could you begin talking less and listening more?

The emotional fall-out of a “no” can often keeps you locked in your current comfort zone. Think of a comfort zone as an emotional boundary within which you feel safe and comfortable. It’s like invisible electrical fencing that has the power to zap you with an emotional shock if you try to go outside the protective boundaries. The more you learn and grow emotionally and intellectually, the more you can expand your comfort zone. Sometimes, you just have to break out and go for your goals.

What if I told you that it takes one hundred “no’s” before you’ll make a sale or reach your goal, wouldn’t you want to start racking up those “no’s” so you get to your “yes?”

Don’t allow the fear of rejection or fear of failure stop you from going for your goals, making more sales or coming out of your comfort zone. Isn’t it time to turn each “no” into a positive growth experience? Starting today, I challenge you to embrace each “no” as a positive and powerful stepping-stone to greater personal and professional self-confidence and unstoppable success. You can do it!
