Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Discover the top books for personal trainers to read like Grit, How to win friends and influence people, How to Become A Successful Personal TRainer and many more.Reading might be the most underrated skill for personal trainers looking to elevate their careers above the 90% who quit within their first year. While most fitness professionals obsess over certification acronyms, the truly successful ones are quietly building their intellectual foundation through consistent, deliberate reading habits.The contrast is striking. Picture a potential client walking into a gym to meet two trainers: one scrolling social media, the other absorbed in a professional development book. Before a word is spoken, one has already established themselves as a dedicated professional. This single habit creates an immediate differentiation that clients intuitively recognize and respect.Starting a reading practice doesn't require massive time commitments. Begin with just 5-10 minutes of distraction-free reading daily, timing yourself to establish a baseline reading speed. Create the right environment by eliminating distractions – put your phone across the room, find a quiet space, and treat reading with the same discipline you bring to physical training. As with fitness, consistency produces remarkable results over time.The reading curriculum for elite trainers spans multiple disciplines. For mindset development, explore works like "Grit" by Angela Duckworth or "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. Business acumen grows through texts like "Go For No" by Richard Fenton, which teaches the counterintuitive approach of pursuing rejection to calibrate value. Technical mastery comes through studying "Starting Strength," "Fat Loss Forever," and "The Science and Practice of Strength Training." For comprehensive development, aim to read 50+ books annually – a simple habit that places you among the intellectual elite in fitness.Transform your reading habit into Want to ask us a question?

Are you struggling with the fear of rejection? If so, you’re not alone. For most people, rejection is a major obstacle, especially when it comes to selling. Whether you're starting out or have been in the game for years, overcoming this fear is crucial for success. But here's the good news: confidence in sales is a skill you can build, and with the right strategies, even the fear of rejection can become manageable. I’ve been there. Throughout my career in some of the toughest sales roles, I faced rejection countless times. It’s something many of us struggle with, but it doesn’t have to define our success. From the age of 14, I’ve learned and applied powerful strategies taught by incredible mentors. These lessons have helped me not only overcome rejection but to turn sales into a more enjoyable and fulfilling process. One key mindset shift is understanding that rejection isn’t personal; it’s part of the process. Building daily habits that reinforce resilience can transform how you approach selling. Additionally, by creating authentic connections and focusing on the value you bring, sales becomes less about pitching and more about building relationships. Today, I want to share practical strategies that have worked for me, approaches that can help you show up confidently, make meaningful connections, and achieve real results. Who knew selling could actually be fun? With the right perspective and tools, it absolutely can be. Let’s dive into this journey together and explore how you can overcome rejection, build confidence, and make sales an empowering experience.

In this episode of the Live Fearlessly Free podcast, we explore the entrepreneurial success path so we can maintain momentum, set new goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate success—all from a Christian perspective. I'll guide you through the final stage–the expansion stage, where we'll explore New Horizons. We need self-reflection, community support, and the continuous pursuit of new horizons. It's time to embrace your achievements, learn from setbacks, and expand your vision for the future. Takeaways Christian women entrepreneurs often struggle to maintain momentum toward their goals. It's common to lose steam on goals, but there are ways to fuel your success to keep it going. Celebration is crucial for motivation and fuels progress. Self-reflection helps identify obstacles. Assessing achievements, learning from mistakes, and focusing on areas for growth are crucial. Community support enhances accountability. Setting new goals is essential after achieving old ones. Documenting success aids in future planning. Adjusting goals based on past performance is key. Mindset shifts can empower goal achievement. Expanding your vision can lead to greater achievements. The process towards success is cyclical and requires constant growth, action, learning, mastery, and expansion. The ultimate vision should always be bigger than the immediate goals and should be regularly revisited and expanded. Sound Bites “You do not have to be perfect.

Andrea Waltz is an experienced author and co-author of the book "Go for No." She has spent over twenty years in the publishing industry and recently wrote "The Million Dollar Book Formula" with her partner, Richard Fenton. Andrea is passionate about helping others write and publish their own books, drawing on her extensive experience and unique insights. Three Key Quotes: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it." "You don't have to go out there and write the Odyssey or the Iliad." "You want a best-consumed book, not just a best-selling one." Andrea Waltz discusses the journey of writing her book, "The Million Dollar Book Formula," emphasizing the importance of focusing on the core message, keeping books concise, and targeting the right audience. She provides insights on overcoming common writing struggles and highlights strategies for creating impactful, consumable content. 5 Key Takeaways: Focus on Core Message: Narrow down the problem your book aims to solve. Avoid unnecessary scope creep and stick to essential content. Keep the book concise and to the point. Understand Your Audience: Identify your ideal customer profile (ICP) for the book. Cater to a specific niche rather than trying to appeal to everyone. Consider the needs and preferences of your target readers. Simplify the Writing Process: Use a question-and-answer format to structure your book. Turn key questions into chapter headers. Remove content that is "nice to know" but not essential. Embrace Unique Formats: Consider shorter books or different formats like workbooks. Be creative with the book's design and layout. Think about how best to deliver your message effectively. Strategize for Marketing: Focus on where you sell your book, such as using Amazon for better visibility. Make sure your book is easy to consume, encouraging recommendations. Include bonus content to engage readers and provide additional value. By applying these principles, Andrea Waltz demonstrates how to write and publish a book that not only sells but also effectively communicates its message and resonates with its audience.

Sales Presentation Skills That Get You To "Yes" Faster In this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount talks to renowned sales experts Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz about their “Go For No” approach to embracing rejection in sales. They discuss how the fear of “no” sabotages sales presentations and what salespeople can do to deliver more successful and engaging presentations that get them to “yes”. The fear of failure and rejection can sabotage sales presentations and affect performance. Embracing rejection and understanding its value can lead to more successful sales presentations. The "Go for No" strategy involves intentionally increasing failure rate and using each "no" as valuable data for growth. Preparation and structure are essential in delivering compelling sales presentations. Improvisation in sales presentations can come across as unprofessional or unprepared. Don't just show up and throw up. Storytelling is a powerful tool to engage the audience and connect with them on a deeper level. Sharing stories about overcoming challenges and how your solution helped can capture attention and emotions. Losing your place or stumbling over words during a presentation is common, but maintaining composure and smoothly continuing is key. Well-prepared presentations instill confidence in the salesperson and engage the audience more effectively. But it's important to bring passion and authenticity to sales presentations rather than striving for perfection. The Fear Of “No” Derails Sales Presentations In the dynamic world of sales, where each presentation is an opportunity to forge valuable connections and secure vital deals, a formidable adversary often lurks in the shadows—the fear of failure and rejection. It's a sentiment that frequently courses through the veins of salespeople, affecting their confidence and ultimately their performance. This fear, while entirely human, can become an insidious obstacle to delivering compelling sales presentations. But here's the paradox: it's precisely this fear, when understood and harnessed, that can catapult a salesperson from mediocrity to mastery. This podcast delves into the heart of this challenge, exploring why salespeople often grapple with the fear of rejection and failure, how it affects their ability to engage their audience, and most importantly, why embracing this fear can be a game-changer in the competitive world of sales. What Is “Go For No” All About? The concept of "Go for No" is about intentionally increasing your failure rate and intentionally hearing "no" more often. The idea behind this is that when you embrace rejection, it paves the way for more "yeses" to come. However, this doesn't mean that you should simply keep hearing "no" without making any improvements or using the feedback from those rejections. It's important to treat each "no" as valuable data for growth. For instance, you can set goals based on the number of "no" responses you aim to receive, and actively seek out opportunities to hear "no." Don't Show Up and Throw Up In the world of sales presentations, there's a phrase that often rings true: "Don't show up and throw up." It's a cautionary mantra that reminds salespeople of the importance of preparation and structure in their interactions with potential clients. Showing up unprepared, with no more than a vague idea of what to say, can lead to a meandering and unconvincing pitch. Instead, successful sales presentations require careful planning. Salespeople should have their notes ready to go, create a basic outline for the conversation, and prepare specific talking points. While improvisation might seem like a way to appear more "natural," it often results in coming across as unprofessional or unprepared. A well-prepared presentation not only instills confidence in the salesperson but also engages the audience more effectively. And the truth is, when people speak without preparation,

When They Say No: Overcoming Rejection And Shifting Your Mindset Introduces Andrea and Richard's new book, When They Say No, and provides valuable insights on overcoming rejection in sales. The fear of rejection has evolutionary roots, but it can be reframed to reach positive sales outcomes. Breaking the negative thought spiral that follows rejection is crucial and should be given due importance. The opening phase in sales, though often overlooked, holds significant value in establishing rapport and understanding customer needs. Learn practical strategies to effectively handle rejection and rewire the mindset for success. Salespeople should endeavor to embrace rejection as an opportunity for growth and relationship-building. When salespeople overcome the fear of rejection, they achieve lasting sales success. Your Fear of "No" Is Holding You Back Are you tired of feeling defeated by rejection in sales and find yourself avoiding potential opportunities because the fear of hearing "no" holds you back? It's time to shift your mindset and embrace rejection as a stepping stone to success. In this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, renowned sales experts Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz share valuable insights from their book When They Say No that will revolutionize your sales approach. The Power of Reframing Rejection Our fear of rejection is deeply rooted in our evolutionary history. Throughout human evolution, being accepted by the tribe was crucial for survival. Rejection meant being cast out and left to fend for oneself, facing increased vulnerability to predators and the loss of the collective support and resources provided by the group. Our brains developed a powerful instinct to avoid rejection at all costs. However, the good news is that we possess the ability to hack our brains and change our perception of rejection. Instead of automatically equating rejection with death or social isolation, we can actively reframe our thoughts. By recognizing that rejection in the modern world does not carry the same life-or-death consequences, we can replace our negative thoughts with more productive ones. We can remind ourselves that rejection is often subjective and influenced by various factors beyond our control. With this shift in perspective, we can approach rejection as a valuable learning experience, an opportunity to grow and improve rather than a definitive judgment of our worth. Breaking the Cycle of Negative Thoughts Salespeople, in particular, are often vulnerable to a dangerous spiral of negative thoughts following rejection. When faced with a rejection, it is easy to get caught in a downward spiral of worry, anxiety, and self-doubt. This negative cycle not only hampers our emotional well-being but also impairs our effectiveness in sales. The more we dwell on negative outcomes, the more our confidence wavers, and the less persuasive and motivated we become. Recognizing this pattern is crucial for breaking free from its grasp. By actively reframing our thoughts, we can disrupt the negative cycle and redirect our focus towards positive outcomes. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong or personalizing the rejection, we can shift our attention to the lessons learned, the potential for improvement, and the possibilities of future success. It is essential to understand that rejection is not solely a psychological problem but also a physiological one. The fear of rejection triggers stress responses in our bodies, which further perpetuate the negative thought patterns. By recognizing this physiological aspect and consciously choosing to reframe our thoughts, we can liberate ourselves from the chains of fear and propel ourselves towards success in sales and beyond. The Power of the Opening Phase The opening phase of the sales process is an aspect often overlooked in sales literature. Selling goes beyond pitching product features and freebies.

One of the themes we frequently talk about on the Daily Writer Podcast, as well as the Daily Writer Club, is the reality that all authors are businesspeople. Anytime you provide a product or service in exchange for money, you have a business. This is especially true for those of us who write our own books in addition to doing client work such as ghostwriting, editing, or copywriting. However, many writers and creative types struggle with selling. That's why I'm excited to bring you this interview with the amazing Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz! Richard and Andrea are the founders of Courage Crafters, Inc., and the authors of the best-selling book, Go for No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There, and many others, including their brand-new book, When They Say No: The Definitive Guide for Handling Rejection in Sales.

Welcome to the Selling from the Heart podcast with Darrell Amy and Larry Levine as they have a chat with Andrea Waltz and Richard Fenton, the authors of Go for No! Yes Is the Destination, No Is How You Get There, and their latest book, When They Say No.Salespeople need to understand that you need to be willing to hear no before you hear yes and that the more you hear no, the more you will hear yes as well. Andrea and Richard give actionable advice for when you do hear no, like learning to really listen and becoming curious enough to ask prospects why they said no.They share their message about the fear of rejection and how to move through the sting and the panic it causes, which is really just a natural biological response. Andrea advises salespeople to change their stake when feeling down, while Richard gives tips in separating a personal no from a professional no.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWhen you feel deflated from rejection, change your stake - Andrea: "So the two keys to changing your stake; one is, and Tony Robbins talks about this, it's movement. It's just changing your environment. You do need to get up, you need to move, and you need to get the endorphins going for a walk, taking the dog out, going to the gym, as soon as you possibly can. And the second one is music, or watching a funny video."Sometimes "no" is simply due to a customer's preference - Richard: "Our natural reaction is to take it personally. And the reason is that most people, when they hear the word no, they have this assumption that they have been rejected, not the product, not the service, that they personally have been rejected."Connect with Andrea and Richard and get When They Say No:Andrea Waltz| Richard Fenton| AmazonLearn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell | Larry | WebsiteGot a video about how you sell from the heart?

Sales — the dreaded word that most of us cringe when we think about it. It brings up thoughts of manipulation, forced conversations, and fear of rejection. It's one of those necessary evils that come with being a business owner that's essential if you want to keep growing. For many of us, we fear hearing the word “no.” Once it's out there, we drop the conversation, take the loss, and move on. But if you want to sell effectively AND create a pleasant sales experience for yourself and your prospects, you must rethink your sales strategy.   Today, I'm talking with Richard Fenton, a seasoned expert in all things sales prospecting, selling styles, and getting to the other side of the “no.” It didn't always come naturally to him, but after a long time in the business, he's learned that an initial rejection can be a huge win later in the sales process. Whether you like sales or not, you have to get better at it to keep new clients coming through the door. So join us to learn how you can rethink your sales process and become a better salesperson, even if it doesn't come naturally. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

This week on the Leadership Podcast, Bradley interviews Richard Fenton and Andrea Walton. Richard and Andrea are the founders of Courage Crafters, Inc., and the authors of the best-selling book, Go for No! They speak internationally, teaching business, sales, and entrepreneurial audiences how to overcome their fear of rejection and achieve extraordinary sales success by hearing 'no' more often. In this episode, they address mindset issues around failure and receiving a “no.” Richard shared his experience of a closed sale that was more expensive than he was used to.  He felt successful until his supervisor asked him when his client said “no.”  Richard realized that he didn't ever get a no, and that he had left money on the table due to his mindset. This moment began Richard's journey to developing the philosophy of going for no.  He and Andrea train people how to improve sales by overcoming their fear of failure.  When you internalize failure, you will cripple yourself as a salesperson. Learn how to set “no” goals as you develop your sales skills in this episode!

If you have been a regular listener, you know that I am obsessed with helping female solopreneurs gain confidence and courage so they can pursue and achieve their goals and dreams.  One of the most common scenarios I encounter with my business strategy and coaching clients the fear of hearing the word “no.  I have been interviewed on the topic of entrepreneurship and rejection sensitivity on several other podcasts, so I know this is a pretty widespread struggle. There are a number of ways we unconsciously resist hearing no that actually limit our income, profit, and success in business.  Behaviors such as never raising our prices, asking a team member to learn something new, and avoiding creating new offers are a few.   Many of us go so far out of our way to avoid being rejected that we basically reject the chance of being found, hired, and paid.  Or, we just don't ask for the sale, avoid using a Call to Action in our marketing, and “forget” to follow up with prospects.  With everything I am learning about confidence, failure, and resiliency, I have come to the conclusion that getting better at dealing with “no” is a skill that all of us need to get better at.  Think of it this way: we either need to learn how to deal more effectively with “no” or get used to settling for less than we truly want.  The main issue is what we make it mean when we hear no, especially for those who are shy, introverted, highly creative, socially anxious, and who experience rejection sensitivity, but the good news is that getting better at hearing no is a skill that anyone can learn.  I share several strategies that have been helpful to my clients and also to myself, including one I adapted from my experiences as a psychotherapist, including:Upping the ante on your “no” Role-playing with your biz bestieQuestioning the “no” Asking for things you don't really want/need Also mentioned in this episode: “Go for No” by Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz  https://amzn.to/3vjEtaZDid you recognize yourself in any of the ways I talked about in this episode? So many of my clients knew they were struggling and suspected they were holding themselves back in their business when they hired me, and one of the first things we did was to assess their mindset and habits.  If you don't know what isn't working, you won't know what to change, right?  I created a quiz with 6 different behaviors I often see in female solopreneurs that limit their income, profit, and success.  Once you take the quiz, you will receive specific feedback, guidance, and practical advice about your particular challenge and more importantly, steps you can take to fix it.   Click on this link to take the quiz: What's Holding You Back?   https://bit.ly/obstaclesquizWith 20+ years of experience as a psychotherapist and 7+ years as a coach, I rarely meet a solopreneur who wouldn't benefit from some expert guidance.

Nicole and I will be talking about what entrepreneurs need to know about trauma and why it seems like everyone on the internet is suddenly claiming to be a trauma specialist.  In the meantime, stay driven!
