I was looking for information about the World Domination Summit and ran across an article, Was the World Domination Summit Worth $500?, by Joe Udo on Retire by 40.
He gave an overview of the event and highlighted some of the sessions. Jia Jiang’s presentation on rejection seemed to be a favorite. After watching his TedTalk on YouTube I understood why this speech was so popular.
Apparently, Jia had practiced Rejection Therapy for 100 days and blogged about it. He did something every day to get rejected.
Sounds crazy, right? Who would intentionally do something to get rejected?
What is Rejection Therapy?
Created by Jason Comely, Rejection Therapy is the practice of doing at least one thing to get rejected every day. The five main objectives of this practice are listed on the site.
Why Do You Need Rejection Therapy?
Rejection Therapy helps you to get over fears that are keeping you from your destiny.
Think about this: how much happier would you be in life if you had the audacity to do what you want to do; have what you want; or be the person you really want to be?
Who Needs Therapy?
Anyone who is allowing fear of rejection to hold you back from your destiny. In my estimate, that is 99.9% of the world’s population.
When Should You Start Therapy?

How Do You Get Started?
Comely created a Rejection Therapy game to help you get started. There are three editions for $10 each or you can buy all three for $20.00.
My Thoughts on Rejection Therapy
I think it’s a great idea. I’ve tried it with mixed results, but here’s the bright side of this process: if you are prepared for rejection, it won’t hurt as bad when it does happen because you’re expecting it. Also, more rejections will get you to your goals faster.
I am often told that salespeople have to make at least 100 sales calls to get one or two yeses. Also, most of these calls are to people they do not know; have never met; but need to know. Even with the training and scripts they are given, it still isn’t easy to get rejected. But they all confirm that more no’s get you closer to yeses. I think the same is true with rejection therapy.
