Summary

If you’re already a professional creator, then you know that you had to hear a lot of “no” for every “yes”. If you’re not yet a pro, or perhaps more importantly if you are a pro whose enjoyed a taste of success, then hear this: Get Used To Hearing “No”.

Quite honestly, understanding this will be some of the best medicine you'll ever take - because once you get it...you GET it, and it will be with you forever. The powerful result of taking this medicine TODAY is that the word NO will change from bumming you out to inspiring you and driving your actions to get to the next YES. As such, enjoy this tasty medicine ;)

This week's episode is a short and sweet reminder:

Let “no” serve as a motivator.
Let “no” keep out the other people who don’t want it as bad as you do.
Let “no” remind you that this job isn’t for everyone, especially the uncommitted.
Let “no” turn you into a better artist.
If you're not hearing “no”, you’re not really getting your work out there enough, pushing what’s possible, pushing yourself.

Enjoy!

0:50.8	right? What's the, what's the ratio of no to yes? Nine knows to everyone yes. That would be

1:01.5	then you'd get 10 clients. That seems actually really low, right? So the reality is we're already
