Speed bump

If you can get people to tell you the reason for their no, even better. Those reasons help you refine your thoughts , redesign your plan, and perhaps save some meony you would have invested in an imperfect concept. So for me, I've learned [at Darden] to consciously interpret "no" as a speed-bump, and not as a closed door.
