Spoiler alert: there is no magic medicine here.
The remedy is in the action. Reps, reps, reps, reps.
Yes, you WILL stumble and you WILL get rejected. The problem isn't that. The problem is the mindset that tells you that those are "failures" or things to be avoided.
Those are WINS. Eventually, those wins start to look a little different -- longer conversations, deeper connection, maybe even future plans to meet up.
But you don't get there without the initial parts. A baby bird doesn't learn to fly before falling out of the nest.
The initial parts are great anyways, they teach you and let you get better so you're able to capitalize when it counts. You NEED that pain and those lessons.
So what's the cure? Getting out there today and approaching. A lot. Then repeat every day.
Unfortunately you and I both knew this already you just didn't want to hear it. But now you've heard it and can act on it. I can't wait to see your approaches start popping up in Approachly.
