A common fear in business is the fear of rejection. Many people avoid making sales calls out of a fear of rejection.
Avoidance seems to be a common approach to addressing possible rejection. Author and speaker, Jia Jiang, however, took a different approach.
Jia performed a 100-day rejection experiment where he sought out rejection each day for 100 days. He would ask random people to give him money, a “burger refill,” or a variety of gifts.
From his experiment, Jia learned resilience and that rejection usually wasn’t against him personally.
Psalm 118:6 says, “The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
If you’re avoiding business opportunities due to a fear of rejection, remember the Lord is with you and be bold.
