If rejection destroys your self-esteem, you're letting others hold you as an emotional hostage.
The biggest enemies we have to overcome on the road to success are not a lack of ability and a lack of opportunity but fears of failure and rejection and the doubts that they trigger.
Refuse to let the fear of rejection hold you back. Remember, rejection is never personal.
Recognize that it is natural and normal to fear rejection. The only thing wrong with it is if you allow the fear to dominate you so that it holds you back from fulfilling your potential in your business.
