“This book is a chance for people to benefit from the humanity and wisdom Matt Del Negro has acquired by grinding through his own 10,000 NOs for so long. His value far exceeds his art. His talent is only outweighed by his humility and ability to connect with others and make them feel better about their own journey.”
—Bedros Keuilian, CEO, FitBody Bootcamp, bestselling author, Man Up
“Being told ‘no’ can either define you or ignite you. Matt's powerful book gives you the courage and confidence to turn that devastating ‘no’ into inspiration. Through his resilience, determination, and breathtaking honesty, Matt shows how to navigate the sting of rejection and convert it into the satisfaction of success! This book is a serious life changer!”
—Sue Hollis, Cofounder, The TravelEdge Group, Coach, Adventurepreneur, Top 10 Women Entrepreneurs in Australia, author of Riding Raw: A Journey from Empty to Full, motorbike racer
“If you want a reality check, a connection to what it takes to get where you want to go in life… advice about the reality of getting past 10,000 NOs to the one ‘Yes’ you desire and will commit to, then make this your Life Bible. Absorb it. Listen to the words. Then go no further. Settle in. And make Matt's experience… yours.”
—Roger Fishman, Adventure Photographer, author, What I Know, former Head of Marketing, CAA
