Would You Take 1009 "No's" if it Meant Finding Your Next Ambassador?

You've probably heard the story about Colonel Harlan Sanders.

In Notes From a Friend, Tony Robbins shares the story of him, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken and in it are amazing lessons.

Here is one lesson worth revisiting for any one in the network marketing profession:

So many people have great ideas but Colonel Sanders was different.  He went and started knocking on doors to tell restaurant owners about his chicken recipe and told them if they use it they would increase sales and all he wanted in return was a % of that increase.

How many "No's" do you think he got?  He was actually refused 1009 times before he heard his first yes.  

Get this - he spent two years driving across America in his old, beat-up car, sleeping in the back seat, getting up each day eager to share his idea with someone new.  Often, the only food he had was a quick bite of the samples he was preparing for perspective buyers. 

How many people do you think would have gone for 1009 "No's"  - two years worth!...and kept going?  I would guess very few.  Most wouldn't get passed twenty "No's", much less a hundred or a thousand! 

Yet this is sometimes what it takes to succeed.

I simply suggest you think of this next time you get a single no and remember that you are simply looking for those looking ... period.  Never give up!  The rewards are awesome.
