This Month's NOtivational Article

The Go for No! Woman
by Andrea Waltz

It's an interesting phenomenon about how men and women approach 'go for no.'  A study by Moss-Racusin (published last year in Psychology of Women Quarterly) found that both women and men might fear that people won't like them if they are self-promoting, but women are more likely to let it stop them.

And then there was the man I spoke to this week who said he believes more men have issues around 'no' telling me his wife has absolutely no fear of rejection. So, perhaps it has more to do with your background, parenting, and schooling.  Either way, this month I've written a special message for the 'Go for No' Woman to encourage our female readers. Something I call, "Women's Secrets to Failing Greatly." And for you men readers, please take a moment to share this important message with the ladies in your life!

"Women's Secrets to Failing Greatly" by Andrea Waltz
A Go for No! Woman has a lot to balance. Here are her keys for success with NO!  She...
Gives herself the opportunity to pursue her goals and dreams.
Owns her failures knowing that failures are part of her journey to success.
Focuses on being assertive and stops worrying about being perceived as pushy.
Obtains and increases her 'no's' ultimately increasing her yeses and building her business.
Remembers that she is on a mission and uses that as fuel to 'go for no.'
Neutralizes her emotional reaction not allowing it to define her or ruin her day.
Opens her mind, always learning, knowing that her growth is key to her achievement.
Works through fear, doing things that are outside her comfort zone.
Overcomes inertia and takes action when she sees opportunity.
Manages her time so that she can 'go for no' and also take personal time for herself.
Allows herself to be who she is without internal criticism of who she thinks she should be.
Notices (even if it takes a while) that she is - as it turns out - a pretty awesome woman who deserves all life has to offer and that she has the power to make those things happen!

Go for No!® News

Go for No! has been doing very well on Amazon this month, staying in the top 5 and/or top 10 in all 'sales' books.  We're thrilled the book is getting traction (10-year overnight success!)  It's also helpful because as it turns out, feline dental surgery is not cheap. Our sweet little Go for No mascot, Courage the Cat, is recovering after having oral surgery last week. He has a great vet though and seems to be healing well.
