The Power Of The Word “no “

“No” is one of the most common words we hear when trying something new. “You can’t do that,” “You shouldn’t do that,” “It won’t work,” “You shouldn’t even try”.  Pilar Jericó, a doctor and business professional, recommends dealing with this rather general situation by  facing your fears and imagining the worst possible situation. From this foundation, it is possible to take away the power of the word “no” and fight for our dreams.

That’s why we chose  Pilar Jericón  for the main part of this article. His work has received widespread attention through the Spanish media. In addition to holding a Doctorate in Business Organization, he also holds a bachelor’s degree in economics and a degree in management and behavioral sciences from Harvard University.

This woman is capable of starting a business even if everyone seems to be working against her. He is a living example of the struggle against the power of the word “no”. This influencer, author, and educator has set an example through the path of hardship by working against them. We can learn from his counsel, the difficulties he faces in life, and his instructions to act when social storms seem to be overwhelming.

Strip the power of the word “no”

According to Jericó, our  biggest enemy is fear.  When someone says you can’t do something, it’s very common to get scared and freeze in place. People let sore emotions take over them and reassure them that they really can’t do it.

However, fear is a necessary tool for self-defense.  In difficult situations, it helps us be on standby so we can protect ourselves. However, when taken to extremes, it can cause a state of paralysis or even a horror experience that results in severe behavioral changes.

Therefore, you should understand your fear, overcome it, and stop other people’s attempts to discourage you.  However, this requires mastering special knowledge in order to rise above the omens that scare you. Below we discuss how the power of the word “no” is broken.

Two techniques for overcoming fear

Pilar Jericó suggests two useful techniques for overcoming fear. If you find fear taking a grip on you, or you hear people say you can’t do something, it’s a good time to try putting those techniques into practice. Then you can decide for yourself what your personal opinion of them is.

Root yourself in reality

The first technique Jericó recommends is to root oneself into reality. This includes listening to and redefining messages from other people. You need to weigh the grounds for both these comments and your own fears so you can analyze them in complete peace.

An example of this is Jericó himself. She decided to move to the United States while pregnant to complete a project. Other people argued that it would be impossible and would not bring good results.

Imagine the worst case scenario and assess the risks

Another technique proposed by Jericó involves imagining the worst case scenario and mapping the risk involved. In order to do this, we need to think about what is possible to go wrong. We need to know if the goal we set is worth that real sacrifice and effort.

We can reflect on this process with the example of Jericho. What was the worst that could have happened to him on that American adventure? Maybe it was that his investment wouldn’t have paid off? Or perhaps the loneliness he would experience when he was away from his friends would be conducive to bringing his sense of reality back?

So you need to analyze every possible risk carefully and in complete peace. Once you have done this, you need to find out if you are ready to face those risks. If you decide you are ready, then you need to move forward aware of all these possible consequences.
