Rejection

Musings from Dennis #83: In my late 20’s I never had the courage to make cold calls due to the fear of being rejected. I even turned down an opportunity to be in insurance despite being told I could talk! In my late 20's, I once called a company for sponsorship but he slammed the phone down on me and that took me 2 months to recover! It also took a lot of courage for me in my dating years! Years on my "skin got thicker and thicker" and I found myself eventually making a call for a licensing opportunity and finishing my opening sentence with a smile despite getting slammed half way through and no one heard most of what I had to say! Nowadays I have learnt to take a ‘no’ like water off a duck’s back. In so many ways I do admire many younger people nowadays who had no problems asking and hearing the no’s shoved to their faces! And also to all those who keep asking me for free swags! LOL.
