How to Make Rejection and Key Life and Business Strategy

by Holland B. Nance PROPEL® Coaching and Consulting Solutions

Most people would say that rejection is horrible to experience in our personal lives, but sometimes it can be even more bruising when someone rejects our business offer, product, or service. The truth is rejection is a part of life and the sooner we realize this and accept it, the sooner we can maximize the opportunities rejection presents.

One way to do this is to take the LEAP. There are four concepts that will help us as business owners become more comfortable, and responsive when we encounter rejection in life and business. These concepts can help us experience growth in ways we have never imagined.

L – Learning Opportunities Await You – Every interaction provides an opportunity to learn something new. Every time you meet someone and pitch yourself or your idea, this is an opportunity to obtain new information. This remains a required launching point for today’s business owners.

Whether they say Yes or No, you must focus on the opportunity to glean information. You will have another experience to practice your pitch and take notes of how the person responds You can gather information with the questions they ask and the data you absorb as you converse and learn more about what may or may not interest them.

The first step is simply not to avoid rejection, but to enter the interaction with a Win-Win mindset. The person wins, because they get a chance to hear more about what services or products you have to offer the marketplace. You win because you have another opportunity to learn. As John Maxwell says, “Sometimes you Win, Sometimes you Learn”.

E – Expect the Rejection – There are endless numbers of sites that post data and statistics about sales and direct marketing response rates. Most of them share the same point of view when it comes to electronic and social media marketing. If you are getting responses in the low to mid 20% ranges, you are doing very well. So, if I can expect successful rates of less than 30%, then that means nearly over 70% will decline or not even respond at all.

That is not to discourage anyone from using these effective means of marketing, but it allows us to take a realistic approach in preparing ourselves for what will be experienced. If our minds are adequately prepared to experience rejection, we can quickly move forward to building, use the information acquired, and make any necessary modifications.

A – Apply a Concentrated Focus – When rejection comes in life and business, it is critical to stay focused and remember why you and your business exists. Always keep close to your mission, vision statements, and core values Many businesses have a mission, vision, and core values, but it is just as important for us to define these elements for our lives, as well. These will be the fuel to re-energize you after experiencing the effects of rejection.

The other tool in remaining focused is to remember not to take any of it personally. The truth is that people are thinking about themselves more than they are thinking about you. It may sound self-centered, but any good marketer will tell you that a product sells more when it serves the interest of the consumer. Focus on the consumer and how your life and business can serve others. Serving others does not imply that it must be gifted. In fact, most profitable businesses have found a way to provide convenience or a solution to a problem and offer a product or service at a cost to the consumer.

P – Perfection Happens Through Rejection – Unlike what many believe, rejection is needed in business to get to the level of success many desire. Rejection actually is a gift. When rejected in business, two powerful presents are left for us to unwrap.

The first gift of rejection is that you know what the consumer does not want. This is useful in fitting your service and product catalog to meet the needs of consumers. You have just completed an excellent round of market research and the market has responded with clear feedback of what does not move them to action or purchase.

The second gift rejection leaves to be unveiled is the ability to refine the aspects of your business that is moving the consumer to action. Once these are identified, you then can multiply and maximize those offerings. The same is true in lift. There are areas where you see immediate results and positive responses. Build those strengths to multiply your effectiveness and significant impact.

Rejection becomes your strategic partner in strengthening your impact and influence, which allows you to become the person and business owner of choice. Moving closer to perfection with the right blend of service or product offerings for your business comes through using the information gathered through rejection and remaining focused on serving and impacting others.

Remember, we don’t take these occasions of rejection personally. When we expect rejection as a normal course of life and business, we know that rejection does not define us. Instead, it represents a possible response to the courageous act of making an offer or an inquiry.

As individuals focused on growth, rejection should no longer be avoided, but expected and maximized. So go ahead and take the LEAP!

Grow Up Smiling: The Significance of Infant Oral Health

As the author of "Cavity Free Kids: How to Care For Your Kids’ Smiles from Birth Through Their Teenage Years ,"

I am deeply committed to advocating for the importance of infant oral health. It is imperative to recognize that good oral hygiene practices begin during the earliest stages of life. By prioritizing and nurturing our children's oral health from infancy, w e pave the way for a lifetime of healthy smiles and overall wellbeing. In this article, we will explore the crucial reasons why infant oral health deserves our utmost attention and care.

The Foundation of Lifelong Oral Health: Infancy is a pivotal period in a child's oral development. The primary teeth, also known as baby teeth, begin to emerge as early as six months, acting as placeholders for the permanent teeth that will follow. These primary teeth are more than just temporary placeholders; they play a vital role in speech development, proper chewing, and the alignment of permanent teeth.

Preventing Early Childhood Caries: Early Childhood Caries (ECC), commonly known as "baby bottle tooth decay," is a condition that affects infants and toddlers. ECC can lead to pain, infection, and potential long -term consequences for a child's oral health. Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, fluoride supplementation, and limiting sugary drinks and snacks, can help prevent ECC and lay the groundwork for a lifetime of cavity-free teeth.

Establishing Healthy Habits: Infancy is an opportune time to introduce children to oral hygiene routines and establish positive habits. By making toothbrushing a regular part of a child's daily routine, parents and caregivers create a strong foundation for oral health. As infants become accustomed to brushing, they develop good habits that will likely continue into adulthood. Additionally, engaging children in dental visits by their 1st Birthday helps fam iliarize them with the dental office environment, reducing anxiety, promoting a positive attitude towards oral healthcare, and allows time to educate the parent or caregiver on proper home care instructions and nutritional counseling.

The Oral-Systemic Con nection: Infant oral health is not only crucial for the mouth but also for overall health and well-being. Emerging research suggests a strong connection between oral health and various systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and resp iratory infections.

By prioritizing infant oral health, we can contribute to the prevention of future health complications and promote holistic well-being from an early age.

Empowering Parents and Caregivers: Promoting infant oral health is not solely t he responsibility of dental professionals. Parents and caregivers play a vital role in their child's oral health journey. Educating and empowering them with the necessary knowledge and tools is essential. By providing guidance on proper toothbrushing techn iques, appropriate fluoride use, and a nutritious diet, we equip parents and caregivers with the means to support their child's oral health and foster a lifetime of healthy smiles.

Investing in infant oral health is an investment in our children's overall well-being. By recognizing the significance of good oral hygiene practices from the very beginning, we create a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. Through preventive measures, establishing positive habits, and promoting the oral-systemic c onnection, we empower www.drlailahishaw.com parents and caregivers to prioritize their child's oral health. Together, let us embrace the importance of nurturing smiles, ensuring that our little ones grow up cavity-free and ready to face the world with confidence.
