You should never accept the word NO or "that's impossible" for an answer in your life or your business.

 In this week's episode:

• I do not want you to ever take the word "no" or the phrase, "It's not possible" as possible answers in your life or your business.
• Those are not possibilities in my life. (I give detailed examples in the episode)
• When someone tells you "It's impossible" it only means that it's impossible for the person talking...it has nothing to do with YOU, your life, or your business success.
• Everyone I knew said I would fail as a business coach.
• I started (and succeeded) anyway.
• Failure is part of success.
• If you truly want to succeed, you CANNOT accept "No" or "impossible."
