You hear about failure and rising above it in entrepreneur blogs. It is, in fact, a ‘fact of life’. What you hear less about is rejection. 

1. Rejection is more than just hearing no. It’s a feeling and a spirit that lingers. 
2. Rejection stings and wounds. If not dealt with, it stings and wounds out of nowhere. 
3. Rejection sometimes happens and has zero to do with you but you’ll likely personalize it. See 1 and 2. 
4. If you are successful, people won’t believe you're dealing with it. 
5. If you are successful, you probably have a high tolerance for it. 
6. If you don’t deal with yourself dealing with it - it robs you of joy in all things.
