0:00.0	Hey, this is Triplineer, host of the new man. You're about to I'm Triplinear. I've, uh, oh, hey there, I'm
0:31.7	Triplinear. I've been a coach for over 10 years and I've spent thousands of hours coaching
0:36.4	guys all around the planet.
0:38.8	These are guys that want to make a great living doing what they feel like they were put on
0:42.4	this earth to do. And I also host a podcast called The New Man Podcast, which has been downloaded
0:48.1	millions of times. Check that on on iTunes. Today I want to talk to you about no. A few years ago, I'd gotten my business up to a certain
0:57.0	point and started to feel hemmed in. I started to feel a little trapped. I started to feel like

1:54.3	one foot putts or who wants to surf an ankle high wave over and over again. We wanted, at least for me, I feel most alive when I'm
2:02.2	taking some risks. So that was the first question I started to ask myself. What if I was willing
2:06.3	to get a no? Would it be that bad? Would it be the worst thing possible? And when I'm working with
2:10.8	certain guys, especially whether it's coaches or entrepreneurs, they've set their life up to avoid
2:15.8	no because they tell themselves this is a way that
2:17.7	they have to survive. They need to avoid no in order to survive. Getting a no means that somehow
