Hi nherison, I'd like to ask, are you involved in a business that is similar to network marketing? Majority of network marketers experience rejection and discouragements from friends and family members. I know that because I am one of them. Rejections can be devastating and can stop us in our tracks. But successful network marketers know that if adhere to the rules and procedures taught by our uplines, we can surely build our confidence and find the strength to move on to the next challenge. In prospecting for potential clients for our business, many will say NO. Amateurs all too often take rejections personally. They immediately blame themselves or the opportunity. But successful businessmen, especially network marketers, understand that the problem is usually nothing more than timing. Successful network marketer and trainer Mr. Mark Yarnell said, "My experience has shown that if are at the right time in their lives, they're going to get involved in this business no matter how it's presented. But if the timing isn't right in their lives, no matter how good your are in convincing people, they are not going to do business with you." Armed with that realization, successful network marketing entrepreneurs learn early how to handle rejection and move on to the next prospect. As top network marketing trainer John Kalench puts it, "SW, SW, SW---Next!" That stands for "Some will, some won't, so what---next!" Manage rejections effectively by not taking them personally. If they (your friends, your family, and the prospects you're talking to) discourage with your business, try educate yourself more about the business you are in to. The best defense to dream stealers is education. Do your homework. Read more about the industry you are in. Familiarize yourself with the good and strengths of your business. Then you can fight against the dream stealers with cold, hard facts! Don't ever let someone steal your dream of becoming successful in your business. Go on and build it. Build your dreams! You can succeed!

Hi, It is not easy for me to handle life full of rejections and discouragements as well. I think I have a serious problem to cope with rejection since I was not able to get sincere love from my family members. I feel that I am not able to be a normal human being when I am around my family because everybody is being hypocrite and demands me to be perfect all the time. I have nowhere to share my misery because my family will never listen to problems. They only want to hear about good things. Fortunately now I have a husband and I am able to share a little bit of my problems with him, if not all. Still, I am not able to share my deepest thoughts and worries because even my husband doesn't understand about it and we may end up quarreling when I voice out my worries. I suggest that you hang on there and try to find help from someone you trust. If you don't have a spouse yet make sure that you find someone whom you can share all your worries and ideas, so that you will find peace of mind in your entire life. Don't be like me because life will certainly be miserable and full of hardships. God bless.

hi nherison you handle it one day at a time and with joy for any good that happens and be happy as nobody promised that life will always be fair. In fact a lot of times it is not but faith and hope will bring you past the bad stuff and into the good things.As for your family we all have some like that. Be your own cheerer and keep up your optimism as an potimist draws good things to him or her, but negative pessimists just encourage more bad stuff. it is all in your own attitude as to which way things will go.

You are not alone my dear actually there are lots of people who is disappointed with their life. I among others face uncertainty and rejection from other people. You could say it's part of life and we must be able to accept it already and make things easier everyday. We can not go on with our life's blaming ourselves and others. We must learn to be brave and determined to alter our destiny and make our own boats to sail. I am too tired with life's unfairness that sometimes it's already suffocating. I don't want to sink to the lowest level with out fighting.

I agree totally with the person that says it is the timing. Your friends and family are not saying NO to you, they are saying no to your opportunity. The timing is just not right, at some other point in the future the timing may be right for them, and then they will come to you, no sense in pestering them about it in the mean time. My friend Tom 'Big Al" Schrieter, says, that if your friends and family say no, why would strangers think any different, he is really big on saying and doing the right things, learning how to speak to people in ways that appeal to them more. I would strongly recommend reading any of his books, which you can find for free at Fortunenow.com, and if you have the resources becoming a member of that site. Sincerely and With Appreciation.
