They said no. Actually they sent a nice email that said, "After a careful review process, we unfortunately aren’t able to include your talk in this year’s program." What I heard was, "no"! Attached you will find 1 of 5 denial/rejection/NO emails that I received THIS MORNING from speaking applications I completed. It happens. Actually I get many more "NO" emails than I do, "YES" emails but that is part of the process. I have 5 today, but another 200+ plus that I could also show you. To be honest, I'm tempted to use this as a teaching moment and share how I bounce back, what I include in my response email, how to handle the rejection and not loose yourself... but I won't. Not today. Today, on behalf of all of my colleagues that like myself are always posting flyers of where we are speaking, recap videos of how great the events are that we attend, and selfies with celebrities and notables in fancy venues... I want to simply show you that we all also get NO EMAILS. I am told NO. Often. All applications we submit are NOT ACCEPTED. Everyone DON'T WANT ME to speak at their event. There are flights we DON'T TAKE and hotels I DON'T GET to check in. Today I'm sharing the otherside of the Speaking, Coaching, Ministry & Marketplace Coin. I and others always show you when we are HEADS up in the game... this is TAILS. Checkback tomorrow for the lesson in it all.
