I used to have a digital list of all those who rejected an idea I had worked on for two years.
Also on the list were those who I would never trust with my business again (some HR people, manufacturers, etc,.).
I’ve gotta tell you – walking around with all of that was exhausting.
Keeping tabs of all those who have rejected or actively put your ideas down actually helps them ensure your idea never sees the light of day.
After noticing the weight I bared, I tossed the list and started a new one.
All those who have supported my ideas. The ones who have gone an extra mile for me. The ones who have approved and then elevated my work.
Things have been far better since.
