You can't, as you said, sit there and wait for something to happen to you. You make everything happen that you want to happen in your life.

Yeah. Or here's another way to think of it. My sister's an entrepreneur and she said this to me once, which I absolutely love. Out of every 10 asks, nine will be a no guaranteed as an entrepreneur. So you just have to keep asking for that one and always start looking for that one out of 10.

And it was funny because she said it to me years ago, and it really stuck when I was doing the case studies in my book because I asked women, very powerful, successful women, to share their thoughts. And the first person I asked was this very well-known anchor on CBS. I'd been seated next to her at a lunch in New York and had given her my information and we'd had a great conversation.

So I was like, I'm sure she'll do it if I ask. And I sat there, I mean, I can't even tell you, I probably sat there for 10 minutes just looking at the button waiting to hit send. And her email came back pretty quickly with a, unfortunately, I can't do this contractually, it doesn't work for me. But I had a list of 59 other people behind her. And the amazing thing was after that first no,

None of them really stung. Does that make sense? After you've taken that leap and the no has been said or the thing you fear the most has happened, it's actually a lot easier on the other side. So what I would say to anybody who is scared to take that leap or is fearful or feels like someone's going to think that they're silly or who cares?

At the end of the day, if you're living the life you want and the life that you want to create for yourself, it's going to happen. It's going to be part of it. It happens to all of us. But be confident that that does not define you. That's just part of your journey. So embrace it. And remember, nine no's, one yes. And then if two people say yes out of 10, you're incredibly excited.

Absolutely. And going back to what I said, it's something that I hear at almost every Q&A. It doesn't matter, man, woman, age, it has no boundaries, really. So imposter syndrome is that feeling you get when you walk into a room and you think you shouldn't be there because everyone around you is much smarter or better or has a better opinion than you do. And
