The word or
indications of no can only mean your approach was not a match for the outcome.
You either asked the wrong way, which means there is another way to ask, or
your approach was missing something. You will have to intelligently pursue
until your request matches what the other parties need to hear. If it is a
process, you may have to
invent new processes until what you set out to do is
complete.

While learning
what does not work is valuable, it more importantly requires an entirely new
level of commitment to invent new ways of thinking. The consequence of new
thinking can encourage new ways getting things done. This in itself has tremendous
value. The value is the possibility of expanded skills and competencies as well
as your view of the world.

In addition,
the word no can only serve as the catalyst to discover things about yourself
that you would not ordinarily know. It empowers you to become someone you have
never been. Even though many may view the word no as negative, it in fact, is
the distinction between champions and those who settle.

When you know
what you want and have focus, the word no is an unspoken request to invent something
new or become someone you have never been. Without question, the world depends
on those who have the perseverance to walk through the final no until they
discover yes.

How will you use the word no to reveal the
champion in you?
