Hola mis amores, My intention with the 100 no’s challenge is to force you to get over your fear of rejection. As business owners, we have to put ourselves out there as often as possible! There is a common misconception that if your content is “good enough” people will find it regardless of how much you market it or talk about it. Let’s come back to reality and be real with ourselves. That’s not true, it’s never been true, never going to be true. I’m not trying to be mean to you, I just don’t want you to be deluded in this way. There is a reason every business has a marketing department.
What is the 100 no’s challenge?
Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. This month I want you to be told no 100 times. Why? Because as people, and especially as women, we have a deeply ingrained need to be accepted. The second you decree and declare: that you and your business will prosper regardless of the number of rejections you receive. You will be successful. I want to instill that in you as much as possible.
Tips and tricks to complete the challenge
I didn’t want to leave you out to dry, so here are some tips and tricks to complete the challenge.
- Ask for funding as much as possible. People tend to say no quicker when it comes to money, but if they do say yes. You just scored some money for your business. So, congratulations either way.
- Reframe the way you think about rejection. The quicker you reframe how you feel about rejection the easier this challenge will be.
- Use this moment to speak as much as possible about your business. Ask for partnerships, pitch your business, and ask to speak at conferences. Don’t waste your no’s foolishness.
Here’s the template for the challenge and a short demo. We’ll talk soon and don’t forget to leave comments about your experience below.
