Key Takeaways:Release the Outcome: Don't tie your self-worth to others' decisions. Focus on effort and preparation, and give people the power to make empowered choices.Reframe Rejection as Protection: Rejection isn't failure; it's feedback. Use nos as opportunities to refine your approach and understand that timing and fit matter more than personal rejection.Build Relationships First: Prioritize authentic connections over immediate outcomes. Listen to people's needs, validate their concerns, and create mutually beneficial interactions.Practice Self-Compassion and Persistence: Acknowledge disappointment quickly, but don't dwell on it. Keep moving forward, stay in action, and remember that “no”s are part of ultimately getting to yes. “Your job is not to convince people to do anything. Your job is to help somebody make an empowered decision.” “Remember, relationship first. The money will follow.” “We can sometimes perceive them as rejection, but objections are just people trying to figure out how this could fit and work for them in a way that feels right to them.” - Maryanne Dersch
