I suggest you read the following short message from Go for No! slowly as this can help give you the wisdom you will need to build your dream. You might consider saving this to read many times in the future.
-Gary Burke
When you are looking for validation of your work or ideas through each yes or no, you will put yourself on a painful emotional roller coaster ride. And although you can have massive influence, ultimately you have no control over what people are going to do or decide.
Therefore, the truest way to have peace in your life and business is to separate yourself from the outcome. Can you control what someone else is going to do? No. But you have total control over your behavior. Execute the behaviors you know it takes to reach your goals, in this case, 'going for no' and making the asks and don’t look for validation in the results.
Don't slow down to interpret each yes or no as a tea leaf prediction for your future success. The people who take the time to share with you why you won't succeed, have no idea what you're capable of and have no special insight into your future. Don't seek that approval (simply say, "that's interesting!") and keep moving forward with your plan.
