Any ESPN fans out there? Great! Lets tackle this thing called business management in  terms of 3-R's and how to divorce ourselves from the negative around us.

Rejection can be thought of many ways....let's just talk about 3  of them:

1.    Rejection of  current belief in self.

When it comes to rejecting  ourselves, that really bites. Especially if one pretends to be in business.When one rejects self, they do not have the ability to fall down and get back up again. So no matter how hard it is to learn to walk upright and eventually takeoff and run in your business, if you and I are afraid of falling down and  skinning our pretty business plan kneecaps, go back to work for someone elsebecause we are not tough enough to withstand the change that ALL successful businesses, not may, but absolutely will be facing as long as we choose to be in business serving others.

2. Rejection of trust in others to mentor and support:

            Ever observe a pair of two year old playing in the mud, especially if those two year olds are twins?

The owner, MINE

The perpetrator says No. MINE?

The owner says, Noooooooo! MINEMINE MINE MINE!!! One may have something  the other owns. The jealous one wants it, and the owner fights to keep from  giving it way. Enter the feud:

Big scream. Parents intervene. End of scene.

Two minutes later:

 The kids are holding  hands, having the heydey of their lives. They cannot even remember what they were bitter about. They are now making mudpie enterprises and feeding them toeach other. They tell other two year olds about their mud pies.

In the  business sense of rejection, a lot of us have to learn how to share what we know. We often just show up at meetings trying with the attitude of MINE. Andwhen we meet someone else at that meeting who has the same product or is in thesame industry as ourselves we feel, like a two year old whose territory is threatened.

Ifyou and I get to the point to where we realize our businesses are never about us, that our businesses are about serving others even if it means we have to share our little sandbox of information with others who may or may not accept us, then bottom line, we will never become friends and share and play in the same arena together. We will never end up holding hands because we think it ismore fun to be on the field with a team than run the entire 100 yards by ourselves.

Success does not occur in a vacuum. (Quotes.com)

3. Rejection of your offerings.  If you have somebody that nobody else needs  or wants, how many other people are out there who want it? (Have to credit Dr. Bruce Pillow of IBN,Smaller Indiana and WBND Radio with this one)

Have you ever been excited about something, and then you make the mistake of  telling your loving friends and family about it? There's just one messy problem with that:

Everybody is not interested!!!

In a word, your friends and familytell you:

No   (British)

Naw (Scottish) 

Dooda (Navajo)

Nono (French Guyanan)

Nej   (Swedish)

Non (French)

Nyet (Russian)

You Trippin? (Oakland)and the ever endearing..

#%*NO!  (Old School))

plus hundreds of otherinternational languages .

Lesson: When you and I succumb to desperation, throwing our products, our company compensation play and our dignity at prospective customers and business associates who just are not interested, then what in the Milky Way Galaxy does that one simple hard hitting ego-bruising fact have to do with you, me, and our success as business owners?

Inconclusion, think about this for a sec:

It is not up to anyone but ourselves to make sure we secure our business success (or laziness or lack of) that feeds your dreams and goals.

Do you remember why did you start your business? If you want it to run like the winds of change all around us, that reason to be in business had better be bigger than making extra money alone.

That is what jobs are for. Nothing wrong with jobs. It is just a fact that jobs are not for everyone.

And since we all strive to be the best at our game on the entrepreneurial playing field, there is this ancient Hebrew secret that lies in the midst of a really cool in best selling book:

Just because someone may love aparticular Indianapolis-area restaurant like Petersons, The Eagles Nest or The Melting Pot (which are just a few of our many door prizes at the Indianapolis Hilton forthe Oct 12, 2009 seminar ?Home Biz Myths & Truths-Plan B?)  does not mind that the restaurant needs to shut its doors.

And neither should you nor I shut our minds down when someone rejects what we love to do. So why in the world does it make sense to give up, and quit on the most important person in your skin?

Paraphrased: Stop casting your pearls to the swine.

Rejection is what it is: A reality,and a choice. Not a prophecy.
