First wave of rejections

So today I got my first rejections toward my new business. Well it's not bad. I mean at first I was like wow, I'm going to fail at this. Then I thought, well if it's not meant to be, I'm not going to push it.

There are other people who will come. I just got to believe right? Anyway I've been to a couple of meetings and it's been encouraging to be there. Part of me knows that there is a 50% chance that I might end up losing money over this, but I know that I got to be the little engine that could right?

So I ordered some more samples and I will be shipping them off to see how my friends respond. I have to keep trying. Not a lot of people are gun hoe about my parties either. I got to keep trying. While working today, I thought of a childhood story that brought me comfort growing up. Especially because I suffered from a mild learning disability and never really discovered it into my adult hood. The story that encouraged me to think positive about my business was the Little Engine That Could. I think I can, I think I can, I can, I can.

Business is not easy. It's hard but I can't give up. I have to try until I've learnt what I need to know and I'll know when God tells me that it is done. I'm hoping it will teach me a lot about rejection. So far I've spent around $300 on business supplies and the membership fee. But what I've started to develop was a bit of my self-confidence back. Not that being rejected has helped this, but daring to do what is challenging and knowing that failure could be around the corner, still trying to succeed. I'll throw in the towel when there is nothing left to learn but for now, I think I can, I think I can....
