When’s the last time you didn’t take no for an answer?
When MINI Designers pitched their idea for their iconic Union Jack Taillight, they were told it was illegal. Taillights must be symmetrical, but the Union Jack is asymmetrical.
Instead of NO being the answer, they didn’t give up. They used innovative & creative thinking to create the required symmetry needed, while still keeping the Union Jack asymmetrical.
Innovation is hard work and it requires those of us who can see a better future to also have the tenacity and grit to keep pushing for it.
When we’re thinking differently about things, we will always meet resistance. Change is hard, people are uncomfortable with new things.
Instead of letting no being your defining moment, see it as encouragement telling you that your idea might just be bold enough to act on… AND, it just might be an indicator you’re on the right path!
When’s the last time you were told no and what did you do about it?
