Telling someone not to fear rejection or take rejection personally is like telling this person to pretend that the sun doesn’t exist.
We fear because we’re more concerned with what would our friends think of us than how the network marketing business or the products can benefit them. Even though we know that they think of themselves a hundred times more than us, we still fear what they think of us.
We fear because we don’t like to hear “no” even though we know deep inside that one “yes” may make us a millionaire. There’s a reason why people tend to do things to avoid pain rather than gain pleasure.
To me, fear is illogical. Therefore you can’t explain it away with logic. You can’t eliminate it. It will always come back.
Even though I’ve spoken in front of thousands of people multiple times, I still have some fear before every talk. But what I’ve noticed is a few minutes into the talk, the fear is no longer there.
So, this is what I’ve learned to overcome fear – wear Nike. In other words, just do it, and the fear will disappear.
On the other hand, the longer I withhold my action, the greater the fear will become, and the greater the fear, the more paralysed I become.
So here’s the thing: Whenever you feel fear creeping up, bite the bullet and take action. The more action you take, the more the fear will subside, and in no time, you’ll be in the zone and eat fear for supper.
