Do you fear rejection?
Are you afraid of what might be said about you or your business?
Are you afraid of what might be said about you or your business?
The fear of rejection is very normal for most people. In fact, a lot of people are afraid to go outside of their comfort zone because they are afraid of what might happen.
Why do some people fear rejection?
Were they born with this?
Was this something learned?
The fear of rejection is actually a learned behavior that you've either experienced by your parents, friends, coaches, etc. while you were growing up. All it took was one bad experience where you felt it was nearly impossible to overcome. And, if you encountered these situations often, you subconsciously associated these experiences with the fear of rejection. Therefore, you find yourself avoiding going through this pain.
I'm hear to tell you that if you can learn to take rejection with a grain of salt, you will become a stronger person. Brian Tracy once said "Rejection is not personal." That really hit home with me. I realized that since everyone is so bombarded with opportunities, that it's natural for people to reject you. In fact, those that do reject you will eventually become a customer of yours.
Do you think a waiter or waitress fears rejection while working at a restaurant? I don't think so! How many times do you think they were told no to every time they asked if a customer wants a coffee refill? It happens all of the time. Those waiters and waitresses realized to not take 'No' personal, but that they should ask often.
Overcome your fear of rejection by accepting it and determine what is the real reason. Without rejections, how would we ever know what people like or dislike. Can you imagine everyone accepting what you had to offer? That would be great, but in reality it won't happen. Not everyone will like what you have to offer and that's alright.
