Mastering Persuasion in Entrepreneurship: Building Trust and Overcoming Obstacles.

Meet Alex. Like many entrepreneurs, Alex dreams of building a successful business. But as anyone in entrepreneurship knows, it’s not always easy. The path is often full of challenges, doubts, and—of course—rejections.

Alex had been reaching out to people, hoping they would join the business. But one by one, they said no. ‘I don’t have time.’ ‘I don’t have money.’ ‘I don’t think I’d be good at this.’ Each ‘no’ was disheartening.

Friend: "I just don’t think I have time for this."

Rejection hurts. But what Alex didn’t realize was that rejection wasn’t the end—it was just part of the journey.

Alex remembered a powerful method: the Feel-Felt-Found formula.

I understand how you feel. When I first looked at this business opportunity, I felt the same way. I didn’t think I had the time, the money, or the skills. But what I found is that every successful entrepreneur starts somewhere. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about taking action and learning along the way.

Prospect: "I don’t think I’d be good at this."

Alex (smiling, leaning forward):

I understand. I felt the same way when I started. But what I found is that success in this business doesn’t depend on talent—it comes from consistency, learning, and following a proven system. With the right support, anyone can do this.

The person’s expression changes from doubt to interest.

By connecting on a deeper level and offering a helpful perspective, Alex inspired the person to reconsider.

That conversation changed everything. By listening, understanding, and offering a helpful perspective, Alex didn’t just convince someone—they inspired them to take action. This is how successful entrepreneurs build trust and grow their businesses, one relationship at a time.

Every entrepreneur faces obstacles. The key isn’t avoiding them, but how you respond. By using the Feel-Felt-Found method, you can connect, relate, and inspire others to see things differently.

In entrepreneurship, whether you're promoting a business opportunity that involves selling products and services or any other venture, it’s not about avoiding challenges—it’s about how you handle them that will make all the difference.

This blog illustrates the power of the *Feel-Felt-Found* method in overcoming objections and building relationships in entrepreneurship. By using empathy, showing real results, and leveraging third-party validation, entrepreneurs like Alex can persuade effectively, building trust and inspiring action, essential for wealth building and long-term business success.
