EP184: Closer to a "YES"
What meaning do you give the word \u201cNo?\u201d We often try to avoid hearing this word, but sometimes a \u201cNo\u201d is what sends us in the right direction. This episode talks about getting closer to a \u201cYES.\u201d
I spent most of my career working in sales organizations. I did semiconductor sales, telecom sales, media sales, and more in various roles. For the most part, I\u2019ve been surrounded by sales people throughout my career. One of the gifts I got from my career in sales is the idea that every \u201cNo\u201d brings us one step closer to a \u201dYES.\u201d
I\u2019m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP184\u2019s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Anyone entering sales has to have thick skin. There\u2019s an acceptance that you\u2019re going to get a \u201cNo\u201d every now and then. You have to stay focused, determined, and willing to put yourself out there. It\u2019s similar to daily life.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about getting closer to a \u201cYES.\u201d You can\u2019t fear rejection to the point that you forget to ask for what you want. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
Are you in a phase of life where you feel comfortable getting a \u201cNo\u201d since you see it as one step closer to a \u201cYes?\u201d
-
Do you hold yourself back from asking for what you want?
-
What do you think is holding you back?
-
How can you shift that energy to a new path?
Receiving a \u201cNo\u201d is not the end, but is information. You can reframe the response to work for you.
Don\u2019t shy away from asking for what you want. Take a step closer to your desires with these Wise Walk questions:
-
When you think of the last \u201cNo\u201d you got, what did you learn from getting that response?
-
How can you use \u201cNo\u201d for growth?
-
Where in your life can you view relationships as aligned or not?
-
Are you celebrating your \u201cYes\u201d moments by enjoying and cherishing them?
