Mother knows best: Growing up, if I complained about something my mom would say, 'You know what, other people are a lot worse off then you are. Some have no legs; stop complaining.' It was pretty harsh. But I learned not to wallow or say, 'Woe is me.' I'm not going to sit around talking about any slight inconvenience. You solve problems as they come at you. You may have a great week and then a tough one. You just have to get used to it because it'll never be perfect.

On dealing with rejection: You can't think of it as a rejection of yourself or self-worth, it could just be that your presentation is not right for that person at that time. Instead of hearing 'no,' listen to 'why not,' so you can hone your offer.
