Elizabeth Blount McCormick: The Importance of Adopting a ‘No Fear’ Attitude

President and owner of Columbus-based Uniglobe Travel Designers, Elizabeth Blount McCormick, spoke with host and friend Michael Redd about the art of approaching business (and life) without fear, why a “no” often leads to a better “yes,” and the importance of adopting a “no fear” attitude.

"Nothing beats a failure but a try. And the worst thing you can hear is a ‘no.’ But the one phrase I live by is ‘a no leads to a better yes’. There are times I’ve been told no, but that means something else was in store." – Elizabeth Blount McCormick
