How to Get Over Your Fear of Rejection

A while ago I rediscovered this guy called Jia Jiang and his rejection therapy blog. I had bookmarked his blog a few years ago and I suddenly remembered him since I was looking for Ted Talks to help plan my recent speaking gig. I highly recommend watching his talk on his journey to becoming rejection-proof.

Jiang had a common fear of rejection and like many of us, he grew up as a shy, unconfident person. One day, he decided to break free of his shell and he started looking into rejection therapy. For 100 days he asked people odd questions and made ridiculous demands in hope of receiving “no” for an answer.

Throughout his rejection journey he learned a couple of things about people and businesses; most people are actually nice and businesses will go out of their way to provide customer service.
