Connor Beaton shares Orion Taraban's approach to handling rejection: deliberately seek out a hundred rejections to build callousness and reframe them as neutral data points. The more you normalize rejection, the more willing you become to take risks, which leads to greater success and attractiveness.
A guy is wanting to work on his capacity and skill of risk taking, where does he begin? My good buddy Orion Taraban says this. He goes after a hundred rejections. They're just data points. Once you do it over and over again, you become immersed in. The idea of this rejection doesn't affect me personally, and it's not a commentary on who I am as a human being. When you get to the point where that rejection becomes less and less personal, you care less about the rejection. You get used to these things over time. So what I would recommend guys do is you do need to form a certain level of callousness to rejection. When you do so, you become more attuned to being able to take risks, which makes you more successful and makes you more attractive. Having these reference experiences and taking these risks, I've rewired in my mind where I go take a risk and I get rejected. And I've rewired that in my mind to where that's awesome. That's another reference experience. I have to be able to deal with rejection.
