1. Go looking for rejections just for the sake of getting rejections. Hone that ability to ask in the right way. 2. Don't abandon anything before doing that 100x after ample experimentation. 3. Market validation is key. 4. Set realistic, small goals.
One of the biggest things I've realized about adulthood is how crazy it is what you can get if you're willing to ask. The fact that this is surprising probably means I'm far too conservative with my requests, setting a rejection goal could really help with that
I am an author/publisher of a small publishing company. I am bootstrapping the business. It’s amazing the tools that are available to help me reach my dreams. Marketing has been the hardest part, but I have made it a goal to do outreach every day. Today I have a call with a buyer of a big tourist enterprise. I wouldn’t have it if I didn’t put myself out there. Wish me luck!
The value of your channel is that you're a few steps ahead which makes your content 1000x more valuable for newer entrepreneurs. Thanks for sharing your journey and I am 100% sure you will be a big name in the space in a few years.
I just got the book while watching this. I got $100M Leads, too! You're an inspiration, Deya! I subscribed when you were below 10K subscribers and to see how much you've grown so quickly tells me you're providing tremendous value! I am a web developer, and I've been struggling with my business (if you wanna call it that) for 2 years. I've been getting clients that aren't ideal, and all from word-of-mouth. I've been so afraid to do outreach it paralyzes me. This book seems to reframe the fear and make it a challenge. I LOVE challenges! Last week I got 3 rejections. This week, I'll 10x that. I just needed to know how to find the right clients. After watching your video on how to find the right clients, I believe I have a great strategy for consistent clients. Market research and a minimum viable product is this weeks goal.
I get rejections every week in tonnes. But only the brave survive the game. Been doing it for the last 7 years and 3 years in my business.. So loving every moment.
very spot on! take points:::create rejection goals and cultivate a feedback loop and ask the following 1. Why not? 2. Who is one person you know who would really like this 3. What would make this a no-brainer for you 4. What would you pay for that
At least you didn't get hitched to the wrong person. Plus the price of gold and silver is increasing. So you've probably made a profit. Great result eh.😊
OMG this is a gem. This is literally one of the best videos I have ever seen. Nowadays there are so many TH-camrs that doesn't even provide any value or real steps to take but your video consists of valuable lessons. Thank you. I needed it
i just got a job rejection yesterday that crushed me. coming across this video during a time when i'm trying to land a job post-layoff feels very timely. thank you for this awesome content! also kudos to your video editor!
so sorry you were rejected but also, super proud of you for applying & trying! that's all that's within your control and deserves celebration. :) keep going + optimizing and the yes'es will come!
I think it's so cool how authentic you are, and what you value in your youtube account. Also, this was such a great summary of the book. Thankyou so much!
Girl omg you explained this book so well! I’m so glad I watched this🤣It inspired me and made me rethink my approach to being a business owner. Thank you for making this queen!🙏🏼💗
I only watch to the end because you have a talent for smiling and talking at the same time. It's like...ok,...I've had enough, I have to turn this off....but she looks so cute, whatever she's saying. It's pleasant to watch. A lot of TH-camrs don't have that knack.
I’m so excited by your channel! I’ve been thinking of starting a business for longer than I’d care to admit but I get overwhelmed my all the details. It’s novel to hear that I can just start by having conversations and to actively seek rejection! Looking forward to hearing more from you and joining your community ❤
ah i totally understand the struggle -- it took me yeaaaars to even admit I wanted a business of my own. The only way I started was by actually creating a 15-min a day rule for myself where every day for at least 15 minutes, I'd work on my business, even if that was just 15 mins laying on the floor thinking about it haha The small, tiny steps every day made the biggest difference; that business has gone on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars now. It all began with a 15-min commitment! :) Couple that with trying a LOT of times + actively seeking rejection and you can't go wrong! You'll get incredible feedback from potential customers/clients and can then build a business that really solves problems for them + is a win-win for both. Cheering you on -- keep me updated! :)
Thanks a lot for this. I had stopped experimenting for a while and forgot how important it is to keep experimenting. I was searching for something like this to fix my mindset and restart everything I used to do, want to do, and enjoy. You mentioned enough strong points to convince me to start again :)
Love this reframing of your own goals! My first step is getting my clothes on a market - I’ve made up a whole website and lots of products and I need to start focusing on smaller steps
I was a telemarketer, I've been rejected by hundreds of thousands... I think once I learned that I knew starting a business would be easier than I thought.
I do insurance telemarketing. It’s a great job. I was paid last years over 54k doing it part time, less than 20 hrs a week. And I’ve been doing it for years in same company and am becoming an insurance agent.
Appreciate the reminder about market validation!!! I created a flare-friendly recipe book for my gut health business and didn’t think about validating it first lol
This is such a great video Deya and I just love how you managed to pack so much value into just 12 minutes! You have inspired me to fully commit to trying to get rejections at every single possibility. This is the number one thing LITERALLY EVERY book seems to talk about. It seems like when you go searching for rejections, you get more of what you want. Anyways, just a couple of things I did in the past hour that can hopefully inspire some of you: 1) Spoke to a stranger in a cafe, ended up chatting for like 20 minutes and got loads of tips about University, life advice for the future and the value of relationships. 2) Walked into a SUPER BOUGIE co-working space and ended up getting a tour and explored the rooftop terrace that had a view of the Shard. The main thing I can say to other people is that, when you go searching for more rejections, you end up getting more acceptances as well. Inaction is a form of action, so just take the chance and do more things that scare you! :)
WOAH!!! good job implementing & taking action. what great wins! :) I love "inaction is a form of action" - so true. Cheering you on as you get more and more of those rejections (+ acceptances!)
Deya your videos have been helping me a lot! I decided to become an entrepreneur and have my own business because I too couldn’t dedicate my life to work on a 9-5 office job. It’s been hard af but your videos remind me why I’m making this ❤. New subscriber here!
I listened to this book, but to have someone explain things made way more sense to me. I should go listen to this again. You're doing great, keep it up!
This video is exactly what I needed! 🙌 I love how you cut through the fluff and get straight to the actionable advice. The idea of setting a 'rejections goal' is such a mindset shift, and it's really encouraging to hear that experimenting and taking risks are essential parts of the process. Also, the reminder to validate ideas quickly with real customers before overthinking everything is gold. 💡 I'm definitely going to try getting one rejection this week and see how it goes! Thanks for sharing these insights - can't wait to see what's in the business book club!
Deya - cannot thank you enough for this video. It showed up at just the right time when I am having a lot of fear and inertia in validating and starting my business. Your advice for smaller tangible goals is helping me overcome that inertia and get started. I’m so grateful!
@Deya UR CHANNEL IS SO GOOD!!!!!! 🎉 I’m gonna admit, I stumbled upon your channel by accident and watched a video to pass some time and I’m soooo glad I did! Your content is so brilliantly broken down, actionable and relatable. Your engaging and likeable, ur videos are a joy to watch ❤ Okay off to go fail and get rejected now…. Wish me luck! 😂
Uggg I needed to hear this! 🤦♀️ thank you for your insights! I just started out on TH-cam, but have been running my fine art business for about a year part time and am SO scared to ask for sales let alone share my work... TH-cam is pushing me to do this and I want to share my knowledge of art as well as building confidence (as I also build confidence lol!) I wouldn't normally comment on avideo even, but I did because I share the 100 superfans goal! Love your energy, keep itup!❤
Absolutely love this!!! Going right away to take those small steps. I have only recently started collecting rejections and it's already become easier for me to approach people to ask things. I saw a two videos of you today and have happily subscribed!
THANK YOU SO MUCCHHH! I'm launching my business next week and have been procrastinating doing it for months now this video gave me the IDEAS to hold on to, aside from the courage to finally put this little business out to the world wohooo GIRLLL I LOVE YOU God bless! ❤
The thing I get stuck on when I think about starting a business is what if I spend money on equipment and materials and experiment but then I don’t actually enjoy that type of business much less succeed.
Check out the book, it has several ideas for starting a business that would have minimal startup cost. But there are definitely social or emotional costs for rejection lol
The trick is to sell before you create anything. Try to get people to buy a product (just build a landing page) and see if you can get people to buy. Once you have buyers lined up then build.
So inspiringggg. I'm about to finish my unpaid internship now and really concerned if I can stay or not. Your sharing just makes me thing that it's not a big deal if I cannot stay, Cause it's just another rejection and I can reach out for my until hearing a "YES". Love your content. Don't stop
First time watching you, clicked on your video to check out the book review but kept listening to the end because Your personality is awesome, so glad that TH-cam recommended me your channel.
So glad I stumbled across your channel. It sounds like your business is exactly what I’m trying to start. Looking forward to inhaling all of your content! Lol
Love your video. You are so eloquent. Everything you are saying are so relatable. The energy i spend on starting a TH-cam channel i probably spend less energy if i just do it.
Deya, Thanks for the video - very helpful. Im thinking of starting a business advising home buyers in the uk on how to navigate the process (no one really doing this in the same way I'm thinking). Your review of the Million Dollar weekend ideas was great on getting me to think whether there really is a business in this, who to ask for help/support (rejections), how to boil what I'm offering down to a minimum and see if people will buy. I really know very little of the marketing, channel building stuff but I know I can help/educate people and make the home buying process much less stressful for a lot of people. Thanks again - I look forwards to watching more.
Love this, especially number 2. I once read this quote (paraphrased) on stand up comedy by I think Jay Sankey - "You don't know if you like doing stand up until you have done it at least 3 times." It makes sense because one could easily bomb one time, do well another, and then have a (somewhat) realistic view of the ups and downs of what stand up could be like after 3 times. But usually people do it once and quit. This tip of doing something 100x is that idea on a much larger scale and definitely makes sense if the endeavor is something someone has wanted to do for a while and seems worthwhile. Happy experimenting ya'll!
Thank you so much for putting this together ❤️ I read so many great books but hadn’t found this one yet! It’s also refreshing to have support online that promotes a certain level of accountability and action without the direct “all or nothing” intensity so often seen ✨
I randomly came across your video. I also started an EdTech business in Bangkok. Still under development but has talked to only a group of private school teachers to craft the value proposition. But here is why I had to hit that subscribe button which I normally dont. The rejection object really makes sense. I will definitely try. Never thought of it that way. NB. I like the way you talk and your rationale in things. Keep making videos. Thx a lot.
I stumbled upon this video and I decided to subscribe when you said you wanted to quit making TH-cam videos after making a few videos but decided to persevere until you make 100 videos. This really spoke with me. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
I needed to hear this today. What would be really nice is if you take these points and create screen shots and then save them as your rotating screensaver. I do that as a reminder.
Appreciate your videos, Deya. I’ve been hovering around the $1000 per month mark writing articles for about two years now and am taking initiative to reach the next level ($5k) per month. Been watching a few of your videos lately and appreciate your take on blending growth-based action with actually enjoying your life. Here’s the real question though: what version of WoW are you playing and what class do you main?
Thanks for this. Been super hesitant about reaching out to "too many" people to proof a concept or get a client. As simple as it sounds, setting that goal of 100 seems like a solid approach.
Wow Deya that was such an insightful video. I am in corporate and desperately trying to start my own thing in a hobby that also grew into a love that expands from my industrial psychology vocation.I don't have much time to waste, so this is such a wonderful way to get insights into these books to optimise my time over weekends as I grow my little side gig into something I can also one day feel about as you do. Your passion is contagious. Thank you for your content - I know what it takes to go into creating it and it is high value content that will go further miles in this world where people need substance and value to fuel them.
Thank you so much for those 4 lessons. I experienced all 4 yesterday when one of my prospected clients said no because of a lack of money on their part. I have closed other deals but getting 100 "rejections" is a good goal, and I made more than $1 already :-)
Great video!!! Really loved the way you explained it with so much clarity yet keeping it concise. PS: Subscribed half way through the video. Looking forward for more business book summaries.
Thank you for making this video, it helped give me some insight on what steps I haven't been taking to build up my small art business. That fear of rejection, really gets in the way and I think it is such a valuable tip to collect them like tiny treasures. I'll keep following your work, because I really think you add value and promote positive mindsets!
Great job on the review. Approximately seven rejections a day - I can do that. After a couple of days watching this video, I started asking for discounts, delayed payments and making offers. Asking the right people, the right way, I'm getting more yeses the noes.
Love the concepts in this video! It's exactly what I'm struggling with in my business at the moment. The part about asking questions like "what is the most frustrating thing about what's currently going on?" or "how would having X make your life better?" gets a little weirder when you're talking about entertainment. I'm a webcomic artist and animator and my "products" are my comic and animations. I'm not sure how my products are solving a problem, unless the answer is just people looking for content to consume. And even then, it's like asking someone about their new fav series before they've ever even seen it, right? The process I've seen work for comic artists is just tossing your stuff out there until people get familiar with the characters and like them enough to ask about who they are or what the story is about with them. It just doesn't seem to follow the pattern listed here to "figure out problem", "create solution". I'm just curious what y'all think and looking for other solutions! Thanks
For me I read comics to escape from reality and decompress after a stressful day. At the end of the day I don’t want to read another self help book but something that keeps my imagination going
This info is ❤🔥🎉 Especially for those of us who overthink starting our business and have a fear of selling because of the possibility of being rejected. So 'Thank you' 😊
Thank you so much for this video Deya!! Just came here after watching your day in the life because it resonated so much. Everything you mentioned here are insights I’ve heard from other sources or revelations i’ve had myself at one point or another, but it’s so easy to hear and instantly dismiss. It clicked differently today watching your video and I truly feel this was the message and answer I have been seeking lately. Thank you!!
Hey Deya! I appreciate the time and effort you put on summarizing this book! Haven't heard of that book before, but from a bit of experience on managing a business I can tell the tips are spot on! Sometimes it's just not that easy to deal with rejections, but that's the main part of selling something. And business exist to sell stuff. Hope you achieve your 1.000.000 active participants on the channel, and that we can build a nice community! Cheers!
Hi Deya. Thank you for a brilliantly informative video and your great energy throughout. You've helped me decide to get this book through Audible, but you have captured my attention and my curious, creative nature till the end when you shared that your goal is to make business friends and grow together. This speaks to my heart as I have been on a similar journey as an entrepreneur. I love talking about entrepreneurship, sharing insights and connecting with inspiring creators like you. I am thrilled to meet you and I can imagine you easily have at least ten times 100 entrepreneur friends on this journey, but here you have made another one. Thank you and I look forward to all that's ahead. Wishing you a beautiful day from London! From your latest subscriber 😊🙏 Katarina
Made it to the end. Without being super attentive - as I am usually working on streetline images and rather listening than watching... Anyway, thank you for 4 good lessons listened to!
Beautiful job with this. Thanks for the breakdown! Noah is awesome. For Service Business Pros btw, Selling the Invisible is an oldie but a goodie. Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video and the reminder to celebrate rejection. Success depends on us telling people what we're up to in the world and giving them the opportunity to join us ❤
These book videos are great! I read it back when it came out, but I hadn't decided what kind of business I would start. I have my notes and highlights, but your review really helped fill in the gaps. Thank you! Now, all I've got to do is take up your challenge. 😅
That try to make $1 is 100% true. That's what I challenge myself in the beginnin: can I find someone in the internet who want to pay me $100 for my writing? And now I earn avg $1k/month ❤ start small and keep going!
1. Go looking for rejections just for the sake of getting rejections. Hone that ability to ask in the right way.
2. Don't abandon anything before doing that 100x after ample experimentation.
3. Market validation is key.
4. Set realistic, small goals.
Gee thanks🎉
Thanks for this summary! Wishing you well.
Epic I like the 1st one sounds more like me 😁
Noah's book gave me huge motivation. Ain't no effing around, go with his mindset.
Thanks. She doesn't know how to summarize at all.
One of the biggest things I've realized about adulthood is how crazy it is what you can get if you're willing to ask. The fact that this is surprising probably means I'm far too conservative with my requests, setting a rejection goal could really help with that
this is so true
Your cat gave its best for viewer retention! 😂

Well done sounds like you are working hard ,, keep up the good work 😊
Her: No I don’t wanna go on a date.
Me after watching this: What would make this a no brainer for you?
Lol 😂
Not worth a date if you don’t get brain
Love the idea of setting a rejections goal. Failing faster is a path to improvement and growth!

awww Nadja!! i'm so happy to hear it was helpful!
@@MyNameIsDeya 🥰🙏
very spot on!
take points:::create rejection goals and cultivate a feedback loop and ask the following
1. Why not?
2. Who is one person you know who would really like this
3. What would make this a no-brainer for you
4. What would you pay for that
Came back for seconds, thirds, and fourths. And, recognized your channel is 💯 what I need right now. Thank you so much for being here. I'll be back!
Lesson 1 Instructions unclear. I now have a wedding ring to pawn.

yes, same with me. But this mindset will help. I will collect rejections and I will put a goal
I think it's so cool how authentic you are, and what you value in your youtube account. Also, this was such a great summary of the book. Thankyou so much!
If you want to make a million write an ebook on how to make a million. Done.
And sell it for 1 million
that's why more of the books can be summarized in 1 to 3 sentences.
It is not about writing only. but about marketing and sales. impact millions and make millions.
How did that work out for you?
I agree with you😂😂

I was searching for something like this to fix my mindset and restart everything I used to do, want to do, and enjoy. You mentioned enough strong points to convince me to start again :)
TH-cam isn't a paycheck,
It is a place where you can find opening doors.

Great video Deya, better quality than 99.9% of creators in the space. Thanks for keeping it authentic.
This dress is amazing. I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. Great content and presentation too.
This is really very good effort in summarizing the book, Deya! Thanks a lot for doing this. Looking forward to more of these

Thanks for the motivation. I really needed this to break out of my procrastination loop!

The trick is to sell before you create anything. Try to get people to buy a product (just build a landing page) and see if you can get people to buy. Once you have buyers lined up then build.
I read this book 4 times already! I am beginning a store and he has motivated me to do it twice as fast as I was comfortable with!
I loved this book. Thanks for the reminder of its principles.
Also…
I love your outfit! Even better that it was thrift.
I truly enjoy you as I hope this for myself when I start to produce my videos consistently
love your cat running in the background!!
Love the idea of making a goal of collecting rejections. That changes the game.
Deya! I’m learning so much from you. Thank you so much for sharing your insight, perspective, and time with us 💖
So inspiringggg. I'm about to finish my unpaid internship now and really concerned if I can stay or not. Your sharing just makes me thing that it's not a big deal if I cannot stay, Cause it's just another rejection and I can reach out for my until hearing a "YES". Love your content. Don't stop
Wow, I love your style! Amazing message, glad I found your channel! Nary will I go a Deya without checking in with Deya!! 😉🙏
First time watching you, clicked on your video to check out the book review but kept listening to the end because Your personality is awesome, so glad that TH-cam recommended me your channel.
This was awesome!! As a mom who has no time to read this is perfect
So glad I stumbled across your channel. It sounds like your business is exactly what I’m trying to start. Looking forward to inhaling all of your content! Lol
hahaha hi Josh!! so happy to hear that & so excited you joined us! :)
I do outside sales, I get rejections all the time but eventually I’ll get a yes 🙌🏼
Just stumbled upon your video and it was very helpful! I've been thinking to be freelnacer but never did it out of fear of failure.
Love your video. You are so eloquent. Everything you are saying are so relatable. The energy i spend on starting a TH-cam channel i probably spend less energy if i just do it.
Deya, Thanks for the video - very helpful. Im thinking of starting a business advising home buyers in the uk on how to navigate the process (no one really doing this in the same way I'm thinking). Your review of the Million Dollar weekend ideas was great on getting me to think whether there really is a business in this, who to ask for help/support (rejections), how to boil what I'm offering down to a minimum and see if people will buy. I really know very little of the marketing, channel building stuff but I know I can help/educate people and make the home buying process much less stressful for a lot of people. Thanks again - I look forwards to watching more.
Love this, especially number 2. I once read this quote (paraphrased) on stand up comedy by I think Jay Sankey - "You don't know if you like doing stand up until you have done it at least 3 times." It makes sense because one could easily bomb one time, do well another, and then have a (somewhat) realistic view of the ups and downs of what stand up could be like after 3 times. But usually people do it once and quit. This tip of doing something 100x is that idea on a much larger scale and definitely makes sense if the endeavor is something someone has wanted to do for a while and seems worthwhile. Happy experimenting ya'll!
Thank you so much for putting this together ❤️ I read so many great books but hadn’t found this one yet!
It’s also refreshing to have support online that promotes a certain level of accountability and action without the direct “all or nothing” intensity so often seen ✨
I randomly came across your video. I also started an EdTech business in Bangkok. Still under development but has talked to only a group of private school teachers to craft the value proposition. But here is why I had to hit that subscribe button which I normally dont. The rejection object really makes sense. I will definitely try. Never thought of it that way.
NB. I like the way you talk and your rationale in things. Keep making videos. Thx a lot.
Outstanding content - thank you Deya. I love how you've distilled the key messages and made them immediately actionable.
Really nice insights. Thanks Deya.
I stumbled upon this video and I decided to subscribe when you said you wanted to quit making TH-cam videos after making a few videos but decided to persevere until you make 100 videos. This really spoke with me. Thank you for sharing this wisdom.
I needed to hear this today. What would be really nice is if you take these points and create screen shots and then save them as your rotating screensaver. I do that as a reminder.
Thank you! and love your cat
maaaan! you're so soothing to listen to. Loved it!
Haha the dress is amazing, matches the message of be bold well 😁
Appreciate your videos, Deya. I’ve been hovering around the $1000 per month mark writing articles for about two years now and am taking initiative to reach the next level ($5k) per month. Been watching a few of your videos lately and appreciate your take on blending growth-based action with actually enjoying your life. Here’s the real question though: what version of WoW are you playing and what class do you main?
Thanks for this. Been super hesitant about reaching out to "too many" people to proof a concept or get a client. As simple as it sounds, setting that goal of 100 seems like a solid approach.
This video is gold! Thank you so much Deya! 🧡
Thank you for making these Videos Deya, we appreciate your efforts
I LOVE the cat in the background! 😺
Beside: Great video, great content, great summary!
Wow Deya that was such an insightful video. I am in corporate and desperately trying to start my own thing in a hobby that also grew into a love that expands from my industrial psychology vocation.I don't have much time to waste, so this is such a wonderful way to get insights into these books to optimise my time over weekends as I grow my little side gig into something I can also one day feel about as you do. Your passion is contagious. Thank you for your content - I know what it takes to go into creating it and it is high value content that will go further miles in this world where people need substance and value to fuel them.
Thank you so much for those 4 lessons. I experienced all 4 yesterday when one of my prospected clients said no because of a lack of money on their part. I have closed other deals but getting 100 "rejections" is a good goal, and I made more than $1 already :-)
Keep going girl you’re killing it!
Great video!!! Really loved the way you explained it with so much clarity yet keeping it concise.
PS: Subscribed half way through the video. Looking forward for more business book summaries.
Thank you for making this video, it helped give me some insight on what steps I haven't been taking to build up my small art business. That fear of rejection, really gets in the way and I think it is such a valuable tip to collect them like tiny treasures. I'll keep following your work, because I really think you add value and promote positive mindsets!
Great job on the review. Approximately seven rejections a day - I can do that. After a couple of days watching this video, I started asking for discounts, delayed payments and making offers. Asking the right people, the right way, I'm getting more yeses the noes.
6:12 That’s a golden nugget right there. Thanks for sharing! ❤
Love the concepts in this video! It's exactly what I'm struggling with in my business at the moment. The part about asking questions like "what is the most frustrating thing about what's currently going on?" or "how would having X make your life better?" gets a little weirder when you're talking about entertainment. I'm a webcomic artist and animator and my "products" are my comic and animations. I'm not sure how my products are solving a problem, unless the answer is just people looking for content to consume. And even then, it's like asking someone about their new fav series before they've ever even seen it, right? The process I've seen work for comic artists is just tossing your stuff out there until people get familiar with the characters and like them enough to ask about who they are or what the story is about with them. It just doesn't seem to follow the pattern listed here to "figure out problem", "create solution". I'm just curious what y'all think and looking for other solutions! Thanks
For me I read comics to escape from reality and decompress after a stressful day. At the end of the day I don’t want to read another self help book but something that keeps my imagination going
This info is ❤🔥🎉 Especially for those of us who overthink starting our business and have a fear of selling because of the possibility of being rejected. So 'Thank you' 😊
Thank you so much for this video Deya!! Just came here after watching your day in the life because it resonated so much. Everything you mentioned here are insights I’ve heard from other sources or revelations i’ve had myself at one point or another, but it’s so easy to hear and instantly dismiss. It clicked differently today watching your video and I truly feel this was the message and answer I have been seeking lately. Thank you!!
wow, best thing i have watched on the internet today... well done deya
Hey Deya! I appreciate the time and effort you put on summarizing this book!
Haven't heard of that book before, but from a bit of experience on managing a business I can tell the tips are spot on!
Sometimes it's just not that easy to deal with rejections, but that's the main part of selling something. And business exist to sell stuff.
Hope you achieve your 1.000.000 active participants on the channel, and that we can build a nice community!
Cheers!
EXCELLENT VIDEO…. I stayed until the end…and I’m wasn’t even looking to improve my selling skills…now I am!
This is great!
Wow you are awesome! The sprouted thing is a big help to my mindset
Hi Deya. Thank you for a brilliantly informative video and your great energy throughout. You've helped me decide to get this book through Audible, but you have captured my attention and my curious, creative nature till the end when you shared that your goal is to make business friends and grow together. This speaks to my heart as I have been on a similar journey as an entrepreneur. I love talking about entrepreneurship, sharing insights and connecting with inspiring creators like you. I am thrilled to meet you and I can imagine you easily have at least ten times 100 entrepreneur friends on this journey, but here you have made another one. Thank you and I look forward to all that's ahead. Wishing you a beautiful day from London! From your latest subscriber 😊🙏 Katarina
hi katarina!!! :) what a kind comment, thank you so much for watching!
Made it to the end. Without being super attentive - as I am usually working on streetline images and rather listening than watching... Anyway, thank you for 4 good lessons listened to!
Beautiful job with this. Thanks for the breakdown! Noah is awesome. For Service Business Pros btw, Selling the Invisible is an oldie but a goodie. Hope that helps!
Thank you for this video and the reminder to celebrate rejection. Success depends on us telling people what we're up to in the world and giving them the opportunity to join us ❤
These book videos are great! I read it back when it came out, but I hadn't decided what kind of business I would start. I have my notes and highlights, but your review really helped fill in the gaps. Thank you! Now, all I've got to do is take up your challenge. 😅
That try to make $1 is 100% true. That's what I challenge myself in the beginnin: can I find someone in the internet who want to pay me $100 for my writing? And now I earn avg $1k/month ❤ start small and keep going!
that's so cool, good for you!!! :)
I just found your channel and this video is the first one. Love how you are explaining things. Really super relatable. Vibing your energy!
Hey Deya, I think you forgot to add the Notion database link. I dare you to add it before the data goes on strike and forms a union!
hahaha whoops!! here you go: dbmbootcamp.com/product/business-book-club-notion/
I work in sales, so I literally get rejections everyday. I still find it really scary, even tho its a lot easier now.
