Answer:Why Selling Can Be a Drag, and How to Overcome
In any given year, I’ll have thousands of great ideas in my business, but most of them die in my mind. A good amount of them make it through to pen and paper, I actually keep a Google doc of ideas. From there, a smaller group actually get acted upon. Finally, one or two a year actually survive.
All of us entrepreneurs have great ideas. We’re visionary. But there are a couple of things we need to be aware of.
The more aligned you are with your purpose and with what God has for you, the more resistance you’re going to meet.
If you don’t believe in your product, you won’t have the strength to fight through this resistance.
We want to believe that we can control everything. So if someone says no to our idea, product or service, we want to think logically and say “well, maybe it’s a bad idea or product.”
But what if the resistance is there to teach you to wait, refine your approach, and develop the faith and courage that the early church had to endure to spread the gospel.
In Acts 13, we see Saul and Barnabas going around to various cities, talking with Jewish leaders and letting them know about Jesus. Although some received them warmly, and most have them plenty of time to explain themselves, there is a “FORCE” that exists that does not want this message to spread. This force will do anything to stop them, but Saul was so bold and so driven with purpose that he would dust his sandals off and move on.
