How can a leaked section of a memo from Mr. Beast to his production team help shift your mindset as you pursue your dream pilot slot?
If you’ve been living under a rock (or you’re over 40), Mr. Beast is the most successful YouTuber in the world. He pulls in hundreds of millions of views on every video—more than the Super Bowl, every month. The guy has cracked the code on thriving in an ultra-competitive space, which is something many of you are trying to do as you chase these highly coveted pilot slots.
One part of his memo really stood out: “No Does Not Mean No.” This applies directly to any of you who have faced rejection in this process (spoiler alert: everyone does at some point). Whether it’s a crappy recruiter, delays in scheduling your AFOQT, hearing rumors like “no more fighter slots,” being told you’re too old/young/short/tall, or running into potential disqualifications from a medical record—there will always be roadblocks.
The key trait of those who get hired? Persistence. They don’t take “no” as a final answer. They pivot, adapt, and keep pushing forward until they reach their goal. You’ll hear “no” more times than you want, but it only takes one “yes” to change your life. So, take a page from Mr. Beast: “No Does Not (Always) Mean No.” Keep going.
