How to Handle Rejection When Asking for What You Want
This week, I get into the number one thing that holds people back from asking for what they want: fear of rejection.
I'll share the psychology around the fear of rejection and why building up a tolerance to get rejected is the fastest way to build meaningful connections, ironically!
Episode snippets:
- Most people aren't sitting around dissecting your asks in group chats (that's your insecurity talking)
- When someone says "not right now" or doesn't respond, they're usually just busy living their own complicated life
- You're making it about you when it's probably about their capacity, timing, or circumstances
- How to gamify rejection and learn to use it as data
- The importance of having safety nets when shooting your shot
- "Not right now" isn't "never"
- My hot take on why thinking everyone is talking about you is arrogant
- Start small and slowly build the heat with your asks to get comfy with hearing "no" and why it's usually redirection
- My own personal experience with rejection, including recently in Lisbon!
If you liked this episode, you'll LOVE these (seriously):
- The Witch Wound - Taking Down the Patriarchy Through Putting Yourself Out There
- Shoot Your Shot - Or Miss Out On Life's Biggest Opportunities
- Rejection Won't Kill You - What It Means & How to Deal With It
- Selling Without Social Media
Here's my ask for you!
- DM me on IG @chelseariffe or email [email protected] and tell me - what have you asked for recently, and what were the results?
- Follow this podcast, rate, review, and tag me on socials - and following the law of reciprocity, I'll send you my handy-dandy Visibility Vault Notion doc - a list of newsletters and platforms to pitch to and get strategically placed!
