You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
0:11
I'm your host, Holly Edwards, and together we can help create your magic.
0:22
Hello, you gorgeous manifestors, and welcome back to another episode of the
0:27
Manifestation Station.
0:29
I'm your host, Holly Edwards. Thanks for coming back on this very,
0:34
very, very hot day in the UK.
0:37
Oh, my gosh. I'm not going to stop talking about it. The heat wave.
0:40
The heat wave. Oh, my God. The heat wave with a growing human inside a baby bump.
0:47
Yes, a heat wave with a baby bump is something else, honestly.
0:53
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed last week's episode.
0:57
This week I was thinking what shall I record on the episode this week,
1:02
and I actually saw a social media post and I wish,
1:08
I wish I could remember who posted it I don't think it was somebody that I knew,
1:12
because I need to give them some credit really but it stopped me in my tracks
1:16
and I thought wow that is such a kind of different take on manifesting.
1:23
And I did screenshot the story that someone was telling and this is what they said they said,
1:30
a girl just said she tried to get rejected 1000 times in 2025,
1:38
and ended up being cast in plays winning pageants securing paid brand deals
1:47
and appearing in commercials.
1:48
And then it says, this is your sign to chase rejection to the point of accidental
1:55
success, because you'll be surprised.
1:59
Don't you think that's incredible? We set out sometimes about action in our
2:04
manifestations, like what can we do to bring our manifestations to life?
2:08
And we have to ask and we have to believe and we have to receive and then we
2:12
have to action our thoughts and we kind of have to make our manifestations become a reality.
2:22
But I love the idea of this...
2:25
Completely flips the way you look at success. And when I first read it,
2:30
I actually laughed out loud because I thought, well, what a ridiculous New Year's resolution.
2:36
But I thought about it in a totally magnificent Delulu way.
2:42
The more I realized it's actually genius.
2:46
So I think what it is, it's kind of like the idea that you set out,
2:52
you are trying to achieve a certain amount of rejections.
2:57
Now, that is automatically going to put you out of your comfort zone.
3:02
If the task is to try and get as many rejections, then surely you're going to
3:06
reach out for more opportunities, step outside of your comfort zone even more,
3:12
because it becomes a game trying to kind of off, how,
3:16
many rejections can I get, rather than tiptoeing, possibly wondering about whether
3:22
to post that thing on social media, whether to send that email,
3:26
whether to ask for a pay rise.
3:28
If you are setting out and the original goal, your New Year's resolution or
3:33
weekly goal, I'm going to give you a challenge in a bit, but,
3:36
if you set out to get a certain amount of rejections, I just think,
3:41
guys, this person, we have tapped into something quite magnificent here.
3:47
And it's so funny because naturally I assumed when I saw this post and they
3:51
said, I set out to, I thought they were going to say something like,
3:55
I want to earn more money. I want to lose weight. I want to get engaged.
3:59
I want to grow my business, but no.
4:02
She wanted to get rejected. Not 10 times, not 100 times. She wanted to collect 1,000 rejections.
4:11
And even the idea of collecting that many rejections, to me,
4:16
it feels like it softens the blow of a rejection.
4:20
If you send an email or you're looking to kind of reach out and work with a
4:24
brand or whatever it is that you're looking to achieve, if you,
4:29
get rejected and you've kind of set out your goal it doesn't ease ease the anxiety is the,
4:37
disappointment it's kind of like great yeah you got rejection on to the next,
4:43
and I think most of us spend our lives trying to avoid rejection and therefore we're probably not,
4:50
stepping out of our comfort zone enough we don't apply for the job because we
4:55
might get rejected we don't ask someone out because they might say no we don't start,
5:03
the new business side hustle whatever your project is we don't start because
5:08
it why not it might not work,
5:11
so by setting out a deliberate act a deliberate goal of making rejection the goal I just think.
5:21
You know this person it's like they'd realize that they'd spent years playing
5:25
it safe but actually clearly you know if this story is true which I imagine it is,
5:33
this person was talented anyway so to set out getting the rejection rejections is like,
5:40
maybe she was subconsciously avoiding any situation where someone could reject
5:44
her and maybe she wasn't applying for the opportunities maybe not pitching herself
5:49
to the brands or entering the or competitions and.
5:54
And she wasn't putting herself forward with things. This is what I'm trying
5:57
to get into her mindset of where she was with this.
6:01
Because the point is that once
6:03
she set out a goal of achieving this many rejections, she started winning.
6:10
And this is why I was thinking about the simple reframe.
6:15
It's gone from kind of what if they say no to let them, kind of let them say no.
6:21
And how many of us are kind of doing exactly the same thing like we say we want
6:25
that different life don't we maybe you want a relationship a better job more
6:30
money a business confidence more opportunities,
6:35
but are we actually are you are you putting yourself out in situation where
6:41
those things could happen because,
6:44
I recorded a podcast a while ago when I kind of said I can't remember how I
6:49
worded it, but it was something about...
6:52
I guess it was kind of a bit of a take on this, but it wasn't so much about rejection.
6:56
It was just kind of like, it was like the law of averages. The more opportunities
7:01
you go for or set out for, the likelihood is that you'll receive or,
7:07
you know, get one of those opportunities.
7:10
So if you apply for a hundred jobs you might get one job if you apply for no
7:15
jobs you'll get no jobs do you see what I mean it's kind of the same thing so,
7:21
if you never apply for the job,
7:26
you can't get rejected but also you can't get hired,
7:32
so if you never ask someone out and you're seeking love or the relationship
7:37
of your dreams if you never ask someone out yes you cannot be turned down great little tick there,
7:43
but also you can't fall in love I'm not saying that no one's going to ask you
7:48
out but the point is that there's someone that you're interested in,
7:52
yes you might save yourself from getting turned down but also that opportunity
7:57
that one opportunity for love won't come to you.
8:01
If you never pitch yourself, no one can ignore your email, but no one can say yes either.
8:08
And this is the reframe that I want you guys to start thinking about.
8:12
It's almost like we've made a void in rejection our full-time job.
8:18
And the cost of that, if you think about it, is quite huge.
8:23
We are potentially missing out on opportunities that could completely completely change our lives,
8:33
and I think about this all the time like how how often do we convince ourselves
8:38
that we already know the answer oh they won't be interested I don't have enough
8:42
experience I won't get picked
8:45
they'll never reply I'm too old I'm too young they'll laugh at me,
8:50
and that's just because we've convinced ourselves that we know what's going
8:54
to happen and sometimes that means that maybe you're not giving life a chance to surprise you,
9:01
and this is what I really want you to think about I think this is why this story struck me so much.
9:08
She didn't end up with 1000 rejections this is the point of the story because,
9:14
by putting herself out there over and over again ready to take,
9:20
rejection head on what happened people started saying yes she ended up landing
9:28
paid brand deals appearing in commercials being cast in productions winning pageants.
9:35
Not because she became more talented overnight. It's simply because the universe
9:41
suddenly decided she deserved it.
9:44
But she was creating the number of opportunities. She increased.
9:49
She increased the number of opportunities.
9:52
So actually, guys, this is just some simple girls math here, right?
9:57
If you ask one person, you might hear one no. if you ask 100 you're far more
10:02
likely to hear at least one yes somewhere along the way,
10:06
that is it guys it is that simple,
10:11
and I just really want this to sink in wherever you are right now
10:17
whatever it is that you want to set out to achieve what is it that you're trying
10:22
to manifest what opportunities can you create for yourself,
10:27
what opportunities can you put yourself out there for,
10:32
with the idea of perhaps being rejected I think maybe you know,
10:39
have we completely misunderstood confidence because I don't think,
10:43
actually I don't think confident people they don't hear yes more often I think
10:47
they probably hear no more often and they've become resilient to know they're
10:52
just not frightened a bit just like this girl in the story they've realized rejection,
10:58
isn't the opposite of success it's just part of the journey towards success,
11:04
so think about anyone you admire anyone who is already living the life that
11:09
you want to manifest it could be,
11:12
an actor an author a business owner a singer a public speaker.
11:18
Do you think they got their first yes when they first reached out?
11:24
Probably not. Most of them collected hundreds of no's before anyone knew their name.
11:31
And, you know, I talk about this a lot, like when I started the podcast and,
11:35
I started the podcast, it had 17 listeners.
11:38
And the week after, I think it had 17 listeners.
11:41
Now you know I could have easily I think even after maybe 10 episodes it was
11:48
something like 30 listeners I could have easily thought why,
11:52
why am I putting the effort into the podcast why you know why is it like a rejection
11:58
I'm you know I'm not getting noticed in the charts I'm not being paid for the podcast
12:04
I'm not getting any DMs to say anyone's enjoyed it like you know,
12:09
And there were times when I did question it, like, is there any point in doing
12:12
this? Am I a bit silly? But you know what?
12:15
These people, and like I did with my podcast, they kept showing up.
12:20
And I kept showing up for my episodes week in, week out.
12:24
And I think we have to remember that these no's, these rejections are part of the success journey.
12:33
They are not no's. They are not signs of rejection or failure.
12:38
They are part of your journey and you know what I find that fascinating we,
12:44
we love the idea of success don't we but we hate the process that it creates
12:51
we want the promotion but not the interview we want the book deal but not the
12:54
rejection emails or we want the thriving business but,
12:58
not the risk of people saying no or you want the relationship but not the vulnerability
13:03
of making the first move.
13:06
And it's interesting, isn't it? Because if we can tie this into the fact that
13:09
it is very much part of the journey.
13:12
And I think if you can jump on board with this today and kind of get into this mode of,
13:19
I don't know, maybe can we even look at it that it's fun. It's fun to be rejected. Great.
13:26
Set ourselves a task, which I'm going to do for you in a minute,
13:29
just like this girl. Let's set out for 1,000 rejections. Let's see how many
13:33
rejections we can get in.
13:35
Because the more we get in, the closer we are to achieving our manifestations.
13:41
And it's like me, you know, I'm writing my manifesting book at the moment.
13:45
I'm just going through my first draft, making sure it makes sense making sure
13:49
it sounds decent but imagine two people,
13:55
say the first person's dream of writing a book okay so they're dreaming of writing a book.
14:01
Maybe they spend years thinking about it planning talking about it imagining it,
14:08
but they're too scared to send it to a publisher because what if they reject
14:12
me and this is me thinking out loud as well because I'm kind of navigating in
14:17
that publisher world at the moment.
14:19
So that person might never send it. But let's look at the second person who writes the book.
14:25
They send it to 10 publishers. Nine say no, but one says yes.
14:32
Which person of these two experienced more rejection?
14:37
It was the second one. But which person became an author?
14:41
Also the second one. The rejection wasn't the thing standing in their way It
14:46
was the road they had to walk to get where they wanted to go.
14:53
I just think, honestly, that blows my mind.
14:57
And this is where I think a lot of manifesting, a lot of raising your vibrations,
15:07
jumping on the frequency that matches your dream, your desire, your goal.
15:13
I think a lot of it comes down to reframing, reframing situations.
15:17
I always talk about the fact that you've not been rejected, you've been redirected.
15:22
We're diving into a very different look today by saying let's let's create rejection
15:27
and let's make that exciting and I do want to set you a task I'm gonna set you
15:32
a task in a minute but I just want you to take a minute to,
15:36
think about how,
15:39
we can reframe that and how sometimes we can fear rejection and maybe how and
15:47
why it might be stopping you from manifesting what it is that you want to manifest.
15:53
So I want you to think about when was the last time you were actually rejected?
15:59
So not disappointed, not something not going to plan. I mean,
16:03
genuinely rejected because you put yourself out there.
16:07
Have a think about it. Was it this week? Was it last month? Sometime this year?
16:13
Maybe you can't even remember and that's okay as well.
16:17
But I think actually most of us, I bet it's the last one that we can't remember.
16:22
And not because we're incredibly successful and everybody says yes to us.
16:27
But I think because we're putting ourselves in situations where rejection is
16:34
even possible, I think that's what we're not doing.
16:37
And this is why I think it's a bit of a wake-up call because.
16:41
If you're never hearing no, are we actually asking for enough?
16:46
Am I dreaming big enough? Am I taking enough chances?
16:51
And that's what I want you to tap into today. And I think there are so,
16:56
so many of us that live kind of right in the middle. So we're not failing,
17:01
but we're not flying either. We're safe.
17:04
We're comfortable. We know what to expect.
17:07
Have you ever noticed that almost every exciting thing you've done has come
17:13
with a little kind of knot, a little nervous knot in your stomach?
17:18
Think about that for a minute, like starting a new job, moving house,
17:22
going on a first date, getting married, having a baby, starting a business,
17:27
maybe even posting your first video online on your social media.
17:31
Every single one of those things comes wrapped up with just a little hint of uncertainty.
17:37
And you don't know how it's going to turn out but you know what you do it anyway
17:41
or at least you eventually did,
17:45
and isn't that incredible you know sometimes your brain isn't designed to make
17:50
you successful it's designed to keep you safe to keep you safe in that kind
17:55
of middle ground where we don't push outside of our boundaries and.
18:00
Think about that. What can you do today to step outside of your comfort zone?
18:07
What goals can you set to achieve more rejection?
18:11
I'm thinking about this at the same time as I'm recording this podcast.
18:15
If you think I'm sounding a little bit, I'm kind of thinking,
18:18
I feel quite alive talking about this because I think, oh my God.
18:23
What can I do today to go and be rejected?
18:27
I mean, does the idea of it make you feel a little bit funny or does it make you feel excited?
18:34
Because for me, when I'm thinking about it, I actually think,
18:37
oh, do you know what? I actually feel a little bit excited about it. I really do.
18:42
And this is why I would like to now set you a challenge.
18:48
Each and every one of you, I think what we should all do, I think we should
18:52
take part in the seven Day Rejection Challenge. Now, who is with me?
18:57
I want you jumping up and down, shouting, yes, Holly, I am with you.
19:02
Let's go get rejected. Did I ever think I'd say that? No, I didn't.
19:07
But this is my favourite part of today's episode because there is no point to
19:11
listening to me for 20, 30 minutes bang on about courage if nothing changes tomorrow.
19:18
So I am going to hopefully enforce some change on you guys,
19:24
so I don't want this to be another podcast that just makes you feel inspired
19:29
you know me I'm all about action I like you to go off and action these podcasts
19:34
and do you know what this is what I love I say this to you every episode,
19:39
you slide into my dms you lovely look you slide into the dms and you're like
19:43
hey Holly I tried that thing last week or I really enjoyed your podcast or this
19:47
really spoke to me this week that's what I love I want you to feel inspired
19:51
for the half an hour that I'm talking to you.
19:54
Sometimes then like life can carry on exactly as before can't it well I want
19:59
you to finish this episode and actually do,
20:02
something so I've got a challenge for you and if you do decide to take part
20:07
in this challenge please do actually I'm begging you please do it because I
20:10
think it's going to be an amazing experiment and I just think,
20:15
good things are going to come to you from this if you decide to take on this
20:18
challenge please dm me and let me know how you found it I'm at the holly edwards
20:24
on instagram and at the dot manifestation station,
20:28
i love hearing from you you know that and i'm going to ask my little favorite
20:31
i ask you every week and some of you are so amazing for doing this i read all
20:36
the reviews if you could review,
20:39
and subscribe to the podcast it's totally free it's really quick just scroll down subscribe,
20:45
it will let you know and it's an episode and i've got some really good ones
20:49
coming up i'll give my first guest speaker are coming up very soon as well.
20:53
I can't tell you who that is because it's a surprise. Anyway,
20:57
so this week's seven-day challenge for you is, and I do also think, and I just say.
21:05
I think this could be one of the most life-changing things that you're going
21:09
to do this year. It's not complicated.
21:12
It's quite the opposite. It's actually very, very simple. Now,
21:15
for the next seven days, I want you to become a collector of rejection.
21:24
Not success, not the wins, not the achievements, but just rejection.
21:32
We each and every one of us are going to fall in love with rejection now.
21:40
Before you switch this episode off and think are they absolutely not I am not
21:44
putting myself out there to get rejected just hear me out please hear me out
21:49
for a minute the goal isn't to fail goal is to ask,
21:55
that's all I want you to think about the goal is to ask because every rejection
22:00
means that you were brave enough to put yourself out there and every time that you ask
22:07
you're creating a chance for someone to say yes and that's the mindset that
22:13
you need to enter this challenge with so we are going to do
22:16
this together now I'm going to take you through the day so if you need to grab
22:20
a pen and paper do it if you want to switch me off and then calls me and play
22:25
me whenever do that whatever you need,
22:28
today day one is to ask today your mission is simply to ask for something it's
22:35
a nice easy one right we can all do that we can ask for something we can all complete day one,
22:40
You can ask for anything, a discount, an upgrade, a better table at a restaurant,
22:46
an earlier appointment, an introduction, an opportunity, a favour.
22:53
Maybe they'll say no, brilliant, sick, or have won a rejection,
22:58
and you've done today's challenge.
23:00
But also, just remember, what if they don't? What if they don't say no?
23:06
What if they actually say yes? No problem, I can give you a discount on that.
23:10
Absolutely, no problem. You want a favour? Of course, I'll help you.
23:14
How many times have we assumed that someone would say no without ever asking
23:19
and we walk away from an opportunity?
23:22
And I think you'll be amazed how many people are willing to help if we simply open our mouths and ask.
23:30
That is your day one challenge. Day two, send an email.
23:36
You know the one that I'm talking about, the email that maybe you've drafted
23:40
three times, maybe it's a collaboration, a dream client,
23:45
a podcast guest, a publisher, a speaking opportunity, an email to view a boss,
23:53
the brand that you've always wanted to work with.
23:56
I want you to write the email and press send.
24:00
Don't re-read it another 12 times. Don't wait till Monday. Don't wait until,
24:05
Mercury is doing whatever it looks fast. Just send it.
24:10
Because sitting in your drafts folder has never changed anybody's life.
24:15
Let's send that email. Let's get no objection. If you need to, press send.
24:20
Now, you know what this is going to do? This is going to make you go,
24:24
I'm going to send another email and I'm going to do another one and I'm going
24:27
to ask for that promotion or I'm going to ask for a pay rise whatever it is you can do it okay,
24:34
day number three is to put yourself out there can we do that can we do that
24:39
together this is the day that will make a lot of people,
24:44
slightly uncomfortable now I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable in the
24:48
long run this is gonna make you grow it's gonna your confidence is gonna skyrocket but,
24:55
this is where I want you to put yourself up there.
24:57
So this means anything like posting the video on social media.
25:02
Maybe you're talking to camera. Maybe you set up a new social media page.
25:06
Upload the reel. Maybe show the artwork that you've been working on in secret. Launch the business.
25:13
Announce the course that you're going to do or create.
25:17
Tell people what you do. Now, can I just say a little kind of side note here
25:22
when I started manifesting in a professional capacity so I've been doing it myself for 20 years,
25:30
and it's been in the last few years that I've been offering it in a professional
25:34
capacity so guest speaking doing the podcast writing the book having one-to-one
25:39
like mentoring clients now,
25:42
when I used to meet people I used to go.
25:46
Yeah, I'm a makeup artist because if you know this about me,
25:50
I also work in film and TV and I do the hair and makeup for films and TV shows.
25:55
And I'd have this dying urge to go, oh, and I'm a manifesting.
26:00
I'd kind of go into this whisper or I wouldn't say anything or I wouldn't mention it at all.
26:05
And then one day I went to this wellness event and we had to go around the room
26:10
and introduce ourselves. And I kind of thought, hold on, I'm not stepping into who I am here.
26:16
So out of nowhere, I was like, hi, I'm a podcaster and I'm a manifesting coach.
26:22
And then he's like, oh, great, lovely to meet you. And I said, oh, look.
26:27
Said it out loud I said it out loud and you've got to say it own it and believe
26:33
it to become it so this is the one where
26:36
to put yourself out there like you say show your work you know announce the
26:40
course you're doing lose the business so many brilliant people stay invisible
26:44
because they're worried about what strangers might think this particularly happens
26:48
a lot on social media as well,
26:50
people I've met with clients my manifesting clients and I also offer to a few
26:57
select clients like a personalized social media,
27:00
kind of management course where it kind of helps you it's kind of a fusion of
27:04
manifesting and growing your account so it's all the technical bits but it's also about
27:10
stepping into your future self and the amount of people that are worried to
27:14
speak to camera to put themselves out there where they worry about what their
27:17
friends or family might think that they might they're silly for being an influencer
27:21
or trying to be an influencer
27:24
can I tell you something.
27:27
Most people are too busy thinking about,
27:30
themselves to spend much time thinking about you and if they do it's a passing
27:36
moment of what are they doing and then that's it
27:39
they move on no one cares when I put my first social media post out I click
27:44
send and then I kind of just wanted to hide under my duvet,
27:48
and then do you know what nothing happened no one said anything it wasn't a big deal so,
27:55
I actually find this really freeing like all the.
27:58
Main the main characters is what they always say you're the main character of
28:02
your movie so stop waiting Stop waiting for permission to be seen, okay?
28:08
Stepping out of our comfort zone. Day four is to apply.
28:13
Fly for the thing that feels slightly out of reach. So not introspective, just exciting.
28:20
That could be the promotion, the award, the course, the competition,
28:26
funding, the interview, the role, the...
28:31
So you don't get it. Amazing. We're going to celebrate it. Well done.
28:35
You've collected another rejection.
28:38
We are celebrating rejections.
28:41
And you know what? If you do, look what happened. Because you asked.
28:46
Because you applied. So think about what it is that you can apply for. Go for it.
28:51
Day number five, start the conversation. Talk to somebody, introduce yourself,
28:58
message the person whose work you admire,
29:02
compliment someone, network, reach out.
29:07
You'll never know. You'll never, never know. This is a big one for me.
29:11
I do this a lot anyway, and I think it's a big part of energy.
29:17
And it kind of very much ties in with manifesting as well. but you never know
29:21
when one conversation might lead you it might lead you to a new friendship a client business idea
29:29
a collaboration a completely different direction in life now I work,
29:34
with a therapist who comes to me for one-to-one manifesting sessions,
29:40
she wanted to grow her business gain more clients locally now she went into
29:44
the chemist the other day to have a very small lineup, Suja Dunn herself, okay?
29:50
She went in, she goes chatting to the pharmacist and they get on really well.
29:55
And, you know, she talks about his job and then he says, what do you do?
29:58
She says, I'm a hypnotherapist and blah, blah, blah.
30:00
He went, oh my God, can you please come and drop your business cards off?
30:05
We have been looking for a hypnotherapist to work with.
30:08
We went to send clients there. We went to send customers there.
30:13
He said a lot of people are coming in for weight loss jabs.
30:16
He said what we've actually realized is a lot of people need.
30:21
The mindset the mindset of weight loss the mindset of confidence was triggering
30:27
some of the eating issues and you know what she was gained I reckon an extra
30:32
maybe 20 clients just from that one conversation so this is what I want you to do is to step out
30:38
and start the conversation some of those biggest opportunities is begin with
30:43
the smallest conversations.
30:46
Day six is ask for help.
30:51
Now, maybe you might find this the hardest one because we're often taught that
30:55
asking for help is a weakness.
30:58
Now, I personally think it is one of the most bravest things that you can do.
31:04
Ask someone to mentor you. Ask for advice. Ask someone to look over your CV.
31:11
Ask someone to read your book proposal. Ask your family for support. Just ask.
31:18
Ask them for a favour. you don't have to carry everything on your own and I
31:23
find that sometimes when I actually think they're asking or if there's the opportunity
31:27
for someone else to actually kind of help you out a little bit which I actually
31:31
think is really lovely as well,
31:33
and very southern finally is to reflect so today I don't want you to ask for
31:39
anything all I want you to do is just to look back how many times did you hear no.
31:46
How many times did people ignore you how many,
31:50
times did they actually say yes and here's the really important question for
31:55
you here how many activities would never have existed if you'd never been brave enough to ask,
32:02
because even if six people said no maybe one person said yes and that one yes
32:08
could completely change your life now if you're reflecting back on this and
32:12
you think, actually, do you know what? All I got was no's.
32:15
All I got was no's. Brilliant. You passed the test.
32:18
This is the whole point. We are gathering our no's. How many rejections do you
32:21
want to set out? Do you want to be that girl in 2025 who said,
32:25
I'm going to set out for a thousand rejections? Or are you just going to go,
32:28
do you know what? In a month, I'm going to set out for 10 rejections.
32:32
Set yourself that challenge. But do you know what?
32:35
You might just get that one yes in there. But also, we're going to build that
32:39
resilience into So bring on those rejections.
32:43
I'm going to celebrate each and every one.
32:46
I also want you to notice something else, okay? You're still here. You've survived.
32:52
Whatever the rejection was didn't destroy you. It didn't define you.
32:56
And it didn't mean that your dreams were over. It just meant that you participated.
33:03
That's right. You participated. And that is something to celebrate.
33:08
So imagine if every Sunday evening, you look back and you go,
33:11
oh I deducted four rejections this week,
33:15
well done me instead of feeling embarrassed you'll feel proud it's just a simple reframe,
33:20
those four rejections represent four moments when you chose courage over comfort
33:26
and eventually I promise you
33:28
one of those rejections won't be a rejection now this is what I want you to
33:32
please tell me online tell me if you've got a yes,
33:36
tell me if you've got but tell me if you've got a yes.
33:39
It might be the phone call, the opportunity, the customer, the friendship,
33:43
the relationship, the publisher, the breakthrough.
33:46
And everyone around you will probably say, wow, you are so lucky.
33:50
And they will have no idea that your luck was built on dozens,
33:55
dozens, or maybe hundreds, if you're going to carry this on,
33:59
of brave moments that nobody ever saw.
34:03
There's a quote that I absolutely love and I'm going to kind of finish on it,
34:07
but it's just that you only need one yes. Just one.
34:12
One employer, one reader, one DM, one customer, one audience,
34:18
one person to believe in you. And you will never find that one yes if you're
34:23
too frightened to hear a few no's first.
34:27
And that's what this episode has all been about.
34:30
It's not rejection, it's the hope because every time you ask you're saying to
34:35
yourself I believe something good could happen that's hope that's faith that's trust and for me that,
34:44
is manifestation in action,
34:48
so I hope you enjoyed today's episode I can't wait to hear how you all got rejected
34:53
and are absolutely loving it so I will leave you with that and just remember
34:58
you're exactly where you're meant to be bye.
