Coping with redundancy, changing jobs or starting a business is stressful. Alongside ‘the-end-of-the-familiar’ is a whole lot of new stuff too. Coping with change can be difficult even for us who’s job it is to help others cope.
Evaluating from your audience, customer or potential client perspective can be overlooked all too easily.
How to cope with rejection:
Find someone you can trust to be independent and ask them to evaluate your offering, discover where your holes are and address them. It’s all too easy to get caught up in the enthusiasm of ‘it’s-great-because…’
Certainly hold on to that feeling and do some bench testing before you ‘go-live’ with a real, potential customer. Better still ask someone you don’t really class as a supporter; the feedback may surprise you.
Practice makes perfect? maybe; more accurate to say, change becomes less scary the more you experience it, and by default, easier to deal with.
Homework: do one thing each day which scares you; let me know how you get on.
