In Business, Sometimes a ‘No’ is Not Always Permanent

“I wish I knew that “no” is not permanent. When I first launched, I took rejection really hard, and hearing “no” felt like something would never happen and a door was shut. Over the past three years, I’ve seen a few rejections turn into “yes,” which made me realize that nothing is permanent. You always have the power to grow, learn, and improve as you push forward in your journey.”

Putting America First

“In foreign affairs, we are renewing this founding principle of sovereignty. Our government’s first duty is to its people, to our citizens – to serve their needs, to ensure their safety, to preserve their rights, and to defend their values. As President of the United States, I will always put America first … We will no longer surrender this country or its people to the false song of globalism… I am skeptical of international unions that tie us up and bring America down… and under my administration, we will never enter America into any agreement that reduces our ability to control our own affairs … The nation-state remains the true foundation of happiness and harmony.”

Using the Negativity

“Whenever I feel bad, I use that feeling to motivate me to work harder.
I only allow myself one day to feel sorry for myself.

I use the negativity to fuel the transformation into a better me.”
