The rejection that rocked my world, and what I learned about the way that I cope\nIf you know me, you know that I\u2019m a sensitive person. I take things that people say about me to heart, and when I feel the slightest bit rejected, it takes an emotional toll.\nSo when I was turned down for a huge media opportunity during my book launch, you can imagine just how hurt I was.\xa0\nIf I could go back and do it all over I would, because the disappointment and sadness that I felt as a result of this rejection really brought me down during what should have been a really exciting time for me.\xa0\nBut here\u2019s the good news. This experience has made me take a long, hard look at how my own expectations play a role in how I handle things when they don\u2019t go my way -- and moving forward, I\u2019ll have an entirely new perspective.\xa0\nI\u2019ve also recommitted to some simple mindset shifts that I know will help me in the future when things don\u2019t go as I thought they would.\xa0\nIn this episode, you\u2019ll hear about this entire experience -- how I handled it, what went wrong, and what I\u2019m committed to doing moving forward.\xa0\nThis is a very honest and vulnerable conversation, and a topic that\u2019s so important to talk about as entrepreneurs -- because allowing something that\u2019s completely out of your control to get the very best of you is simply not worth it, sweet friend.\nSo if you feel rejection as deeply as I do, I hope this episode helps you reframe your thoughts so you can keep moving forward as the very best version of yourself.\xa0\nRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts\n"I love Amy and Online Marketing Made Easy." <-- If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
