[@tafsir5191]

1. Go looking for rejections just for the sake of getting rejections. Hone that ability to ask in the right way. 2. Don't abandon anything before doing that 100x after ample experimentation. 3. Market validation is key. 4. Set realistic, small goals.

[@legoruthead]

One of the biggest things I've realized about adulthood is how crazy it is what you can get if you're willing to ask. The fact that this is surprising probably means I'm far too conservative with my requests, setting a rejection goal could really help with that

I am an author/publisher of a small publishing company. I am bootstrapping the business. It’s amazing the tools that are available to help me reach my dreams.

I get rejections every week in tonnes. But only the brave survive the game. Been doing it for the last 7 years and 3 years in my business.. So loving every moment.

[@ronniezad323]

very spot on! take points:::create rejection goals and cultivate a feedback loop and ask the following 1. Why not? 2. Who is one person you know who would really like this 3. What would make this a no-brainer for you 4. What would you pay for that

[@LawTzuTao]

I just got the book while watching this. I got $100M Leads, too! You're an inspiration, Deya! I subscribed when you were below 10K subscribers and to see how much you've grown so quickly tells me you're providing tremendous value! I am a web developer, and I've been struggling with my business (if you wanna call it that) for 2 years. I've been getting clients that aren't ideal, and all from word-of-mouth. I've been so afraid to do outreach it paralyzes me. This book seems to reframe the fear and make it a challenge. I LOVE challenges! Last week I got 3 rejections. This week, I'll 10x that. I just needed to know how to find the right clients. After watching your video on how to find the right clients, I believe I have a great strategy for consistent clients. Market research and a minimum viable product is this weeks goal.

[@thesacredbombshell]

How was $100M leads?

[@LawTzuTao]

@@thesacredbombshell I haven't started it yet. I started $100M Offers first. I'm almost finished with it. It's a good book and has lots of resources for extensive learning. Without a solid offer, attempting to attract leads is a waste of time. So I have been really diving deep. I run a digital marketing services company, so I had to get a little creative to apply what I'm learning. This book seems to target businesses that sell products (B2C) more than services (B2B). However, the information is still great. Sales psychology is interchangeable. Some sales strategies used today are over a century old and still work well with modern tech.

[@NidhiSingh-eh2cy]

[@MysTarey]

I’m so excited by your channel! I’ve been thinking of starting a business for longer than I’d care to admit but I get overwhelmed my all the details. It’s novel to hear that I can just start by having conversations and to actively seek rejection! Looking forward to hearing more from you and joining your community ❤

[@MyNameIsDeya]

ah i totally understand the struggle -- it took me yeaaaars to even admit I wanted a business of my own. The only way I started was by actually creating a 15-min a day rule for myself where every day for at least 15 minutes, I'd work on my business, even if that was just 15 mins laying on the floor thinking about it haha The small, tiny steps every day made the biggest difference; that business has gone on to make hundreds of thousands of dollars now. It all began with a 15-min commitment! :) Couple that with trying a LOT of times + actively seeking rejection and you can't go wrong! You'll get incredible feedback from potential customers/clients and can then build a business that really solves problems for them + is a win-win for both. Cheering you on -- keep me updated! :)

[@ollystaniland]

This is such a great video Deya and I just love how you managed to pack so much value into just 12 minutes! You have inspired me to fully commit to trying to get rejections at every single possibility. This is the number one thing LITERALLY EVERY book seems to talk about. It seems like when you go searching for rejections, you get more of what you want. Anyways, just a couple of things I did in the past hour that can hopefully inspire some of you: 1) Spoke to a stranger in a cafe, ended up chatting for like 20 minutes and got loads of tips about University, life advice for the future and the value of relationships. 2) Walked into a SUPER BOUGIE co-working space and ended up getting a tour and explored the rooftop terrace that had a view of the Shard. The main thing I can say to other people is that, when you go searching for more rejections, you end up getting more acceptances as well. Inaction is a form of action, so just take the chance and do more things that scare you! :)

[@MyNameIsDeya]

WOAH!!! good job implementing & taking action. what great wins! :) I love "inaction is a form of action" - so true. Cheering you on as you get more and more of those rejections (+ acceptances!)

Deya, Thanks for the video - very helpful. Im thinking of starting a business advising home buyers in the uk on how to navigate the process (no one really doing this in the same way I'm thinking). Your review of the Million Dollar weekend ideas was great on getting me to think whether there really is a business in this, who to ask for help/support (rejections), how to boil what I'm offering down to a minimum and see if people will buy. I really know very little of the marketing, channel building stuff but I know I can help/educate people and make the home buying process much less stressful for a lot of people. Thanks again - I look forwards to watching more.
