6) Keep moving on. Very often, we take a “no” and we think about it…re-live it… plan what we’ll say next time…in short, we live event hundreds of times when, in fact, it was just, really, a few minutes in our life. The best antidote to this is to take next action, and next, and next. Keep moving forward and don’t dwell on past.

7) Broaden your definition of success. The number one reason people feel bad when someone says, “no” is because they feel a strong attachment to outcome. Instead of looking at outcomes, or being attached to how things turn out, perhaps you can look at success as getting out there in first place. How would it be if you went for effort rather than outcome, even sometimes?

8) Start a success journal - immediately. For every No you’ve ever experienced, you probably could list tens (if not hundreds) of situations in which people said “Yes!” to who you are or what you offer. When you feel upset or down about one particular situation, aim to list at least 100 things you’ve succeeded in already.

9) Shift your focus from what happened. Distract yourself by thinking of all good and fun things you want to attain or achieve. Whatever you think about gets bigger in your life, so make sure you’re thinking good thoughts. Take each experience as an isolated occurrence, not absolute, ultimate truth.

10) Commit to routinely attracting more customers than you need. “No, thanks” is much easier to handle – economically - when you have a steady flow of qualified prospects streaming in. If you aren’t in this position, be sure to revisit your marketing plan and recommit to daily marketing actions. It’s easy to get away from this when business picks up, and harder to generate momentum when business goes down.

Taken together, these strategies will help you overcome “No, Thanks.”while building a more successful business.

How can we quickly and easily acquire new knowledge we need? While staying current on Internet can be challenging, here are three powerful starting points.

1. Forums. Even most experienced marketer needs to brainstorm. Where do legends of Internet marketing go when they need fresh ideas? They go to many forums on Internet. These forums (mostly free) are breeding ground of new ideas. Find these forums and participate in them and you will find inside track to what is working now on Internet.

2. Specialized Search Directories. While many of us will make a trip to Google or Yahoo this week, there are many specialized directories on Internet. These smaller directories can save huge amounts of time since they often deal with only one subject.

How specialized are these directories? One deals with only ezine advertising. Another lists only articles that you can use for free in your ezine. Another lists only affiliate opportunities. There are literally hundreds of these directories online.

3. Sites Dedicated to New Information. A number of websites are dedicated to nothing more than sharing new and powerful information about techniques that are working now. These sites don't simply rehash what *has* worked in past, but are involved with discussing, testing and sharing what is working now.

As Internet business people we need both an influx of new ideas as well as ability to reshape our thinking to accommodate new challenges. Let me encourage you to try new things, find new solutions and educate yourself about cutting-edge techniques that today's marketers use to succeed.

On Internet more you know more you earn.
