Interesting thought from the week

Rejection sucks. Or at least it did for me for a long time.

I can remember every rejection from every girl I asked out in high school. My pooka shell necklace clearly wasn't doing me any favors.

But there is a silver lining.

The more rejections you receive, the thicker your skin gets.

Your ability to not be rattled by rejection becomes a super power.

I notice that many great entrepreneurs have this quality. They can take a hundred nos for every yes and be unfazed.

Getting rejections every day still stings a little, but I'm constantly reminding myself to embrace it.

Interesting find/tool of the week

I'm getting back on the road again and Airbnb's fees are ridiculous. My process now:

1. Find a property I like on Airbnb.
2. Find the property management company that manages the property.
3. Book directly on property managers website or call asking to book directly.
4. If that doesn't work, I'll book on VRBO as a last resort.

I've been saving an average of 5-10% on every booking.

One of the highlights of my day is our evening walk. The perfect end to every day.

See you all next week!
