Learning to deal with rejection

[Kent Verge]

Is the fear of rejection is keeping you from moving forward? 

• Do you let your phone go to voicemail versus answering calls from your yellow letters?
• Have you given up calling lenders because they keep saying "no?"
• Are you frozen when it's time to ask for the close?

This is a bit dated, but I came across it this afternoon. This entrepreneur tried "rejection therapy" to get past the fear of rejection. He spent 100 days asking people ridiculous things in attempt to get rejected.  What's crazy is that some people said "ok." 

You can watch him talk about it on Ted in this 12-minute video: http://tedxtalks.ted.com/video/Surprising-Lessons-From-100-D-2

I'm interested if you have tried this, and if so, what were your results?
