Entrepreneurs Never Accept “No”

Ever.

I bet you have no idea that was the separating factor between successful entrepreneurs and the rest of the world.

Most people fear rejection. They feel that it’s uncomfortable, that it makes the situation awkward, that maybe they won’t be accepted after that, or worse… that person may think less of them.

When you believe in dreams so deeply that you no longer begin to think that it’s logical for anyone to disagree with your side of the story and you just chug along… That’s when growth begins to happen.

This doesn’t mean you should feel better than others or not listen to those who are much wiser than us.

It does mean that if you deeply believe in your dreams that you need to chase them and understand that people, friends and even family will all tell you that it may not be possible or you should aim lower.

Why on earth would you aim lower?

Your dreams are achievable if you put in the work.

This isn’t some pick me up Monday morning speech about how you can do anything in the world.

This is a full on mindset that you must engulf in order to reach the dreams you aspire to live.

Mark Zuckerburg is an ordinary person who dreams big and truly believes he can obtain anything he wants.

Steve Jobs was an ordinary person who had massive dreams and wouldn’t stop until he received them.

Elon Musk is an ordinary person who absolutely refuses to let anything stop his dreams from happening.

These are people, just like you and I that have made a decision that no matter what they will obtain their dreams.

So quit taking No for an answer and start living the life you deserve.
