A few years ago a producer was doing auditions for a television show that he was fighting another producer to create.

There were several actors who auditioned for the part but it was really down to two. The producer wanted actor number one for some unknown reason and the television network wanted actor number two.

Having seen the audition tapes, I can tell you actor number two was far superior to actor number one. He had more stage presence, did his lines better and was more believable in the part. But because the producer already decided he wanted actor number one he brushed criticized the job actor number two did.

Sometimes we are going to get rejected and as a business owner you have to be ready for that. For whatever reason, sometimes because of things completely out of our hands, we will loose or not get some business. However, the worse thing we could do is give up and not try again, or if someone is too critical of our business idea we give up and stay in the labor pool.

Actor number two in the above scenario could have easily given up. However, actor number 2 kept on trying and eventually lands a role on a quirky television series. While the show was short lived, the career of Tom Hanks has not been.
