You may wonder, "What about the people who say 'no'?" Well, when someone engages with you, they're looking for a solution to a pressing problem in their life. They're scared, hoping for a sign that you can help. The difference between a "no" and a potential "yes" is small, and with some adjustments, you can turn that "no" into a "yes."

People often say "no" due to fear, driven by an inner super villain that aims to keep them safe. Your job is to help them recognize the superhero within, ready to claim their dreams. Focus on their aspirations, not their insecurities.

Remember, those in front of you want to say "yes" to their dreams, and it's your duty to help them achieve that. Be a dream enabler, a champion for their dreams, and take their journey from despair to victory.
