Goal Destroyers
1. Fear of Rejection
Rejection hurts. But what’s way more destructive than rejection? The fear of rejection. It’s a fear that lies deeply in our reasoning and psychology, but also a silent killer of ambition and innovation.
People would rather not try things and reject themselves than risking being rejected by others. As a result, businesses lose sales, people don’t communicate candidly, and ideas get abandoned in people’s heads before they are presented.
2. Lack of Discipline
Many teams are bursting with ambitions, yet struggling to have the discipline needed to turn these dreams into reality. Many organizations lean heavily on motivation and willpower to achieve discipline, but they often fizzle out in the long-term. When early efforts don’t show instant results, it’s easy for focus to slip away. Teams get sidetracked by quick wins or short-term pleasures, losing sight of their larger goals.
This pattern – starting with a burst of energy and then getting derailed – is a key reason why many business ambitions end up unfulfilled.

The Art of Achieving Ambitious Things

For too many of us, the fear of rejection is the #1 obstacle to achieving our goals and dreams. It’s our natural tendency to avoid the risk of rejection, even when it’s detrimental to our businesses, careers, and lives.
Nobody knows this like entrepreneur Jia Jiang. To overcome his own fear of rejection, he conducted an experiment in which he purposely sought it out every day for 100 days. From asking complete strangers for $100 to requesting a “burger refill” at a fast food restaurant, Jia’s experiences (and surprising results) became the basis for one of the most-watched TED Talks of all time (top 200 out of 60,000) and the bestselling book: Rejection Proof. It also transformed Jia Jiang into the world’s foremost authority on rejection.
In this engaging presentation, Jia shares insightful—and often laugh-out-loud—stories from his 100 Days of Rejection. Audiences learn how to become more resilient and make becoming rejection-proof their superpower for success in life. He also explores the basic principles of turning a NO into YES, as well as how to get more YESes. By transforming a keynote speech into a unique and inspiring experience, Jia has earned rave reviews from Fortune 500 audiences and praise from individuals who have thanked him for changing their lives.

Why do we usually fail in achieving our goals? “The bigger the outcome, the bigger the failure rate,” says Jia Jiang. “That’s why New Year’s resolutions usually fail, and why businesses always get too busy to stay focused.” Jia’s proven solution: simplify success by relentlessly focusing on one thing—what he has named the One Action Goal. Drawing from his upcoming book, The One Action Goal: Achieve Big by Doing Only One Thing, and more than a decade of coaching clients to success, Jia provides a playbook for achieving any personal, professional, or organizational goal. Determined to put success within everyone’s reach, Jia shares his One Action Goal System, including:
• Turning ambitious objectives into your One Action Goal
• Routinizing your dreams and fail-proofing your environment
• Using your One Action Plan to accelerate your ideas
• Developing radical focus on your One Action Goal
• Overcoming barriers to achievement with a framework for success
