In today's episode, Rick is joined by Jared Breen, our head Franchise Business Coach, to discuss why entrepreneurs should be ready to hear many nos without getting frustrated or quitting. It's not easy to hear so many nos and fail many times, but this just means you are working hard, and you will eventually succeed.

A no is an opportunity to learn and get better. Everybody who ever encountered massive success in what they did had to hear many nos and failed a lot. But they took the nos, stacked knowledge, and experience to them and eventually got better.

Hearing no builds character, skill, and passion. Rick and Jared encourage you to resolve to take no as an actual gift. You are building the skills and tolerance that will benefit you further down the road.

Listen in to learn why hearing no is an actual gift and why great success is built on a lot of nos and failures.

Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world. One fails toward success." ~ Charles Kettering
