Can You Release This Barrier to Success? Part II

continued from previous post…

Now anyone can understand why a brand new little baby would associate the fear of rejection with dying. But, c’mon now. As adults, the thought that we must avoid feeling rejected for fear of dying is absurd! And yet, that is exactly what is happening when one of your prospects tells you “I don’t want to sell anything,” or “Will I be required to have those home meetings?” These are code words which really mean, “I don’t want to be rejected.” Couple this with the fact that most MLMers are using antiquated marketing techniques that do not work for the average person, and it’s no wonder people say that converting prospects into distributors is so hard!

And now…the Good News! It is INCREDIBLY EASY to correct this irrational fear. You see, since the evidence of this thought is false and merely appears real, we simply need to resist reacting to situations that trigger the fear-of-rejection response. I’ll give you a personal example. A few months back, I reviewed some statistics within my lead system back office. I became very upset to see that the ratio of conversion rates to unique impressions was so low. I initially took this information to mean that I was driving good traffic to my site, but once there, visitors were uninterested in the site’s content—in other words, my visitors were “rejecting me.”

It's not real...Stop reacting as if it is!

Now, had I allowed this F.E.A.R. to persist, I may have decided that I ought to avoid the future possibility of rejection by refusing to monitor site statistics, or by cancelling my subscription, or by getting out of network marketing altogether. All of these possibilities would have been mistakes detrimental to my success. Instead, corrected this behavior by:

1. 1. Interrupting the negative feelings – Take a time out
   2. Telling the truth about the situation – The truth of this situation is:
   3. These negative feelings are irrational –They have absolutely no basis in anything that is real
   4. My problem (low statistical ratio) had nothing to do with my feelings (fear of rejection)
   5. My problem was one that I could easily solve without sabotaging my success — Releasing the emotional charge surrounding the site statistics review, so that when I perform the review again, I do not have the emotional response.

After clearing my head, I chose to consult with one of my company’s top earners, who helped me make great changes that turned around the problem immediately.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I foundthis process to be very tedious at first. I was a person that had almost no control of my emotions, especially the negative ones. Oh, sure, I was great a repressing my feelings whenever I felt victimized or under-appreciated. But inside, I was a bubbling cauldron of negativity. I hated how impotent I felt, and in the beginning, doing this process was like fighting a constant battle between the person I thought I was and the person I wanted to be. But I’ve seen the transformation in others that resulted from releasing the fear of rejection, so I pressed through the discomfort until the new fear-less thoughts began to shine through. People still said “no” to my opportunity, but I stopped saying “no” to myself when they did, and just like that, the sting of rejection was gone.

People, please consider the wealth implications of what I’ve just shared with you. Think of all the things we all could be, do, and have if we just learned to squash the fear-of-rejection gollum.

Crush your fear and take back your prosperity!

Think of all the time you would save by refusing to dwell on the unimportant reasons why people say “no” to our MLM opportunity. That’s time you could spend empowering those that say “yes.” Think of all the saved relationships resulting from allowing people to say “no” and having no hard feelings. You never know if or when that prospect will return and inquire about your opportunity. Think of the dynamic down lines we will build as we help these folks overcome their fear of rejection. And as always, don’t just think…take it for checking!
