business rejection

For a lot of people, hearing the word “no” a lot can really bring you down. Constant rejection can lead to a lack of self confidence, and really change the way you act and your personality. You might get so frustrated that you want to give up, BUT, that is pretty normal I suppose.

The correct thing to do though is to keep moving forward. Letting yourself fall into depression and having a lack of confidence isn’t the right answer, and it hurts you so much in the long run. Here are a few good ways to deal with hearing the word “no” in a business setting, cope with it and move on.

1.) Maintain Confident Body Language

There are a lot of different ways that this can help. If you are constantly getting rejected, it is certainly going to eat away at your self confidence. And when that happens, the best thing to do is to pretend like you are just as confident as always. If you project positivity and confidence with your body language, it actually starts to make you feel more confident. Not only that, but if you come at someone with a confident pose and putting off good energy then there is probably a good chance that you won’t end up getting rejected next time! See how that works? Stand up straight and look great.

2.) Surround Yourself with Supportive People

If you surround yourself with positive people, positive things will happen. If you surround yourself with successful people, you will find success. Think about it like this: there are plenty of people out there who think they are doing you favors by telling you to keep your goals realistic. Those people mean well, probably, but they are just sucking away your confidence and putting a damper on your dreams. You need people around you who are going to push you and keep you motivated. People who you can learn from and look up to. These people will give you all the reasons in the world to keep pushing forward. Plan B is an excuse for failure. You need friends who can keep you in that mindset.

3.) Don’t Give Up

One of the key things in any business is to stay persistent. Just because a deal didn’t go through or someone says “no” right now doesn’t mean that they won’t say “yes” next week. Take that “no” and learn from it. Focus on what it would take to make that into a “yes”. Always be thinking about how you can improve instead of only focusing on what you are doing wrong.

4. Get Rejected

This might sound stupid, but check it out: Everyone is going to get rejected at some point. And also, practice makes perfect. If you have the courage to put yourself out there enough times, even though you know you might get rejected, you are going to get really good at dealing with it.

5.) Never Forget Your Victories

This is one thing a lot of people don’t do. You have to stay positive and a good way to do that is to remember all of the good things that your business endeavors have brought to you. Be thankful, and look forward to the many victories that await you in the future.
