I sat by the phone for hours…
Rejection after rejection. No after no.
And then I got on the phone with this guy...
“Dan, you can’t even speak English properly. How in the world are you going to write me good Copy?! I think you’re scamming me.”
*Slam*
I couldn’t take it anymore.
I already knew my English sucked.
But this was the last straw...
I hid my face in my hands with complete shame and embarrassment.
I felt like a complete failure.
And as I relived the call, a spear pierced straight through my heart...
Broken. I felt like giving up.
Perhaps you’ve felt this way before too. Rejection and failure can really cut you up inside.
But knew I had to keep on going...
I had to look after my family. I had to take care of my mom.
And through it all, here’s what I realized…
Failure Is Simply Feedback.
When you fail at something, it doesn’t mean you're a failure.
It just means you’re missing an important piece of the puzzle...
Maybe you need more practice.
Maybe you need to adjust your approach.
Or maybe you just need more context.
Whatever it is that you’re missing, it’s not the end of the world.
There’s always a way for you to go get it.
And so that’s what I did.
After that guy slammed his phone on me, I decided to myself.
“I am going to do whatever it takes to make sure that NEVER happens again.”
So I joined Toastmasters to become a better communicator and speaker.
I started reading all the books I could on communication and sales.
And I started to record my sales calls so I could see where I was going wrong.
And that’s when it happened...
I started getting clients. I started gaining confidence.
And best of all, I was providing for my mom the way I always wanted to.
So what can you take away from this story?
Never Let Your Results Bring You Down.
Just because you’re not getting the results you want now, doesn’t mean you won’t get them in the future.
And when you feel like quitting the most, you’re usually about to make your biggest breakthrough.
Keep learning and keep growing.
Now, that’s why one of the things I highly recommend is that playing to your strengths is a big part of getting the results you want in life.
So recently, my team and I put together a “Personality Profiler” that’ll show you exactly which High-Income Skill you have the best chance of succeeding at.
If you want me to send you that free High-Income Skill Quiz personally…
