Most pain doesn’t come from failure—it comes from needing things to go your way.
Rejection stings when you’re attached to a specific outcome.
But if you drop the need to control how it plays out?
You become untouchable.
The people who move fastest aren’t fearless.
They’re just detached. They know every “no” is feedback—not identity.
The shift:
Detachment = freedom
Rejection = data
No outcome = no ego wound
I used to overthink every pitch. One bad reply could ruin my day.
Then I set a rule: 20 pitches a week, zero emotional weight on any single one.
Results exploded. Not because I got better—because I stopped caring so much.
Whatever you’re aiming at right now—detach from the result.
Commit to the rep, not the reward.
Make the call. Send the message. Launch the thing. Let go of the outcome.
Rejection isn’t personal unless you make it personal.
What could you do today if you didn’t care about the result?
Cut the fluff. Drop the ego.
