171. GO GET REJECTED 100 TIMES


Listen Later

What if getting rejected 100 times was the fastest way to grow your business?

In this episode I break down the 100 No's Challenge — the exercise I gave my clients that had one of them calling it "fucking impossible." Inspired by Brooke Castillo's urge-resisting jar, I've adapted it for entrepreneurs: go out and collect 100 genuine no's from bold, stretchy, salesy asks, and watch what happens to your confidence, your business, and your bank account along the way.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Why a "safe" no doesn't count — and what actually counts as a stretchy no
  • The exact rules of the 100 No's Challenge (and why being left on read isn't a no)
  • Why some of my clients struggled because they kept winning instead of losing
  • How waiting to be "chosen" is quietly capping your opportunities
  • The Marie Claire cover girl story that only happened because I asked for more
  • Why following up on a no today can turn into a yes in six months

This video is for you if:

  • You freeze up at the thought of being told no in business
  • You're playing small and waiting for opportunities to fall in your lap
  • You want a practical, repeatable way to build unshakeable confidence in your asks
