In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr Jesse Green sits down with Andrea Waltz, co-founder of Courage Crafters Inc. and co-author of the best-selling book Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There.

For two decades, Andrea has been teaching people in virtually every business and industry how to think and feel differently about failure, rejection, and the word, “no” to achieve their goals and dreams. The “Go for No” strategy has been featured in online and offline magazines and journals including Success Magazine, Inc., Forbes, and many others. Today, "go for no" is a well-known methodology in the world of sales and widely recognised as the singular best program that deals with rejection in business.

Whether you're a practice owner, a clinician, or a team leader this conversation is essential listening. You’ll discover how changing your relationship with “no” can be the key to unlocking business growth and personal freedom.
