What happens when people say no to you? When people say no, we get upset, we see a setback, we get triggered. Generally we aren't flexible and playful when people tell us no. Right. We're upset. And we don't just take that as a, you know, objective, non emotional thing around a problem and then think about where else. For the most part, we take the no. We get positional, we get upset, we take it personally. We think of them saying no to us, to our thing, and not just saying no to the way that, that opportunity, that invitation, that proposal, that pitch showed up in that moment. But if you could learn to stay loose, to be playful with every no that you get. Oh no, interesting. Tell me more about that. Oh no, that's cool. And then you could just kind of play with it and it could be no forever from that person in that situation. But it could be also that if you stay playful, if you don't get triggered, if you don't get angry, but if you stay loose and playful with it, there might be a yes beyond there with someone or a yes in the future or to some other thing. So staying playful, staying loose in the face of setbacks, in the space of rejection is super, super, super powerful and can make a real difference in what you're dealing with. Time and again. Companies, leaders, the people that we work with that learn to get playful with no. Find the yes on the other side of that. When they're raising money, when they're trying to hire someone, when they want somebody to supply with, when they're trying to sell something, when they're pitching a big partner on some special joint marketing, joint venture kind of thing, in all these cases, if you could figure out.

What.

Was of interest, you'd only do that if you took the time to just chill out a little bit and get playful with it instead of getting upset, defensive, combative, argumentative.

Right?

None of those things work well. So figure out how to kind of dance with the no, how to be playful with it, have some fun, lean into what's going on, be curious, listen to what the other person actually said no to, or if they even said no. And on the other side of that is yes and success. If not from them, if not now, then from someone else, and very soon. Hope that's been helpful. Hope you could learn to stay more playful when people tell you no and get past that kind of childhood reaction to things.
