Ex-Navy SEAL: This mindset shift will help you get what you want via CNBCMakeIt
Chances are, you've been told at some point in life,"Don't take 'no' for an answer." But what if what you're hearing really is a hard"no"?
He gives the example of getting his children's book, "Mikey and the Dragons," published on a tight timeline. He pitched the book, which teaches kids how to overcome their fears, to his publisher in August 2018 and wanted it on the shelves a few months later, before Christmas. He realized"that was a 'no.' And it was a very firm and solid 'no.' They just didn't have the maneuverability to make it happen so I had to accept that 'no' from them. … But then what I did was I shifted my perspective: What other angle could I look at this from?"
He reached out to contacts with experience in the industry, created Jocko Publishing and managed to get"Mikey and the Dragons" out before Christmas —"even before Thanksgiving," he adds.
