Don’t you just hate rejection?
I do.
It's only natural – we all want people to like and accept us.
But rejection happens and you have to keep on keeping on.
The story I keep in mind is that of Col. Harlan Sanders. At the age of 65, Sanders had an old car, a pension worth $105 / month, and a recipe for chicken that some folks told him was pretty darned tasty.
So he hit the road to propose a deal with restaurants – “use my recipe and for each chicken sold, pay me 5 cents.”
The first restaurant owner told him no.
The second said no.
As did the third. The fourth. The fifth.
And on and on and on and on...
Finally, after making 1,008 sales calls with this proposal, one restaurant owner finally said yes.
And of course, you know the rest of the story.
The lesson is persistence. Dogged. Determined. Undying. Unreasonable. Against all odds. He did not give up. He kept going. Day after day. And he did finally make that first sale and many more besides - enough to create a fortune.
Persistence, whether in business, or in investing is the not-so-hidden key to success.
