<p>We get thousands of "No"s every day [And that's cool]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’re reading this blog on an email, it’ll be because you’re on a list on our email system.</p> <p>If you’re reading it elsewhere, I’m sure you’re aware of such things.</p> <p>Over the years, many thousands have people have signed up to these lists.</p> <p>More than half have since unsubscribed.</p> <p>Out of those left, a reasonable proportion never open them – they’ve presumably sent them to junkmail.</p> <p>Out of those that open some of these, it’s only a proportion each day.</p> <p>For the version that goes to none members, there’s a link in it people can use to apply for the programme.</p> <p>The blogs are designed to help people, whatever their situation…….</p> <p>But also to create that ‘know, like and trust’ that gives people confidence to take the next step with us.</p> <p>Somewhere between zero and two people do that most days.</p> <p>So, overall, that’s a lot of “No”s isn’t it?</p> <p>The majority saying No to even opening it.</p> <p>Then most that do, saying No to taking that next step.</p> <p>Thousands overall.</p> <p>Hundreds every day.</p> <p>If I were to concentrate on all those “No”s I’d probably get put off.</p> <p>But that’s not the measure of success.</p> <p>The blogs help hundreds of people every day.</p> <p>People just like you, dear reader.</p> <p>I could insert your first name there, but “dear reader” is cool.</p> <p>And, overall, they’ve helped hundreds of people take that first step in what many have looked back on as “one of the best decisions I ever made”.</p> <p>If I hadn’t have kept doing them, we’d have changed hundreds of lives less.</p> <p>And the knock on effect of that.</p> <p>And, I don’t know if we’d have had enough members to keep running the programme (at least in the awesome form it currently is).</p> <p>It’s es
