Go For No
Our network philosophy is based on the best-selling book Go For No. Richard Fenton and Andrea Waltz emphasize the importance of changing your perspective on entrepreneurial failure. Instead of avoiding it, you should welcome failure as an essential aspect of achieving success.
Philosophy
Understanding stumbling blocks
Great leaders and achievers often possess a significant capacity for failure. Richard Branson (founder of Virgin Group) and Steve Jobs (founder of Apple) are widely acclaimed for their successes rather than their failures. This suggests that failures serve as valuable lessons rather than being remembered unfavorably. Those who frequently encounter failure tend to attain the highest quantity of successful outcomes, implying that steadfastness, when confronted with obstacles, is a crucial measure of your likelihood of success.
The path to achievement is frequently characterized by the essential challenge of surmounting hurdles, as demonstrated by Richard and Steve’s tenacity. Embracing challenges and persistently overcoming them is essential for pursuing achievement.

Embracing failure
Only a minority of entrepreneurs, less than 20%, are prepared to face failure, and a mere 5% actively seek out challenging circumstances. This mindset advocates actively seeking failure, with the understanding that business and financial growth will ensue.
You should desensitize yourself to the discomfort caused by rejection through consistent exposure until it no longer provokes anxiety. View rejection as an opportunity to empower your business rather than a hindrance, remembering that bravery involves acting even when fear is present.
True entrepreneurial progress and financial success come from setting lofty goals and increasing the frequency with which you experience setbacks. Entrepreneurs can increase their potential for success by creating an environment that welcomes the possibility of setbacks!
