OVERCOMING REJECTION
So I started writing about what I’ve been working through over the last several months, but I hit pause on it because it’s pretty heavy and I wanted to tackle it from the right mindset and thought it was a little early, so I’ll keep you in suspense for now. I will say that it was focused on resilience, and I’ll get to it soon, and I’ll stick with a similar topic.
When it comes to life, rejection and failure is inevitable. Not the most motivating thing to here, I know, but unfortunately it’s true and the earlier we realize that better.
Sometimes you can see it coming, but most times it’ll be seemingly unexpected. With that, it can be easy to shrink back and do less because of the fear of failure. But only those who can bounce back and learn from the rejection and failures are successful.
So you may ask, how do you bounce back?
First thing is to be introspective and think about what role you played in this. Whether it’s things you did or didn’t do.
Why start here?
Being self aware is a key to success or you’ll keep making the same mistakes over and over again and blaming someone else instead of owning your role.
If you keep doing the same things, you’ll keep getting the same results unless you’re working on improvement.
The truth is that we can’t really control others and we can only control how we respond to what happens to us. The key is to take the time to think and respond and not reacting in the moment. Be intentional about seeking out perspectives other than your own as well. We all have blind spots and we can only see them when we allow others to point them out.
But then it’s our job to take the time to work on it and keep in improving. I’ve been talking about therapy a lot recently and it’s helpful in combatting your past, but if you’re moving towards your future, you’ll need a coach.
Coaching is a forward focused and thought provoking exercise designed to expand your thinking, hold you accountable, and make you successful! The coaching relationship is one that is completely focused on you, but in the end you will have to do the work just like with therapy.
You can choose to coach yourself, but it’ll go much slower and you’re less likely the ask yourself the questions you really need to ask and then there’s also no accountability.
If you want to know what coaching looks like with me, keep scrolling and I’ll help you become the most incredible version of yourself!
NEW RISK-FREE CAREER COACHING OPPORTUNITY!
One of the number one reason that people don’t seek out career coaching is they’re worried if it’s going to be worth the amount of money they’re paying and if they’ll actually get results.
I know that and I want to help some of you who may be skeptical by assuming all of risk.
What do I mean?
Well, you will pay $0 for career coaching until you land your job!
BUT… there’s 2 things you have to do
You need to be engaged and active in the process. If you’re not, I reserve the right to drop you as a client at any moment. This is a partnership, we ride together we di… lose together.
You will need to either write or record a review about your experiences. Whatever you’re more comfortable with.
That’s it besides that. You’ll get full access to me in helping with your career transition/ job search and the cost will be 20-30% of the sign-on bonus from your future job offer.
That’s it! So what are you waiting for? Reply to this email to let me know you’re interested or email [email protected]!
