Disruptors RANT! How To Handle Failure & Rejection Like A Boss [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
Fear and rejection are something we all have to face in life and sometimes it is not easy to accept. In today’s podcast, Rob details how to handle failure and rejection effectively. Discover why facing your fears can allow you to grow as an entrepreneur, the importance of having a balanced outlook on life and how to contextualize your emotions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You have to face rejection, embarrassment and shame. As an entrepreneur you have to face your demons regularly otherwise you are not pushing yourself enough and you are not growing enough. There are certain parts of you where you will recurrently feel fear and rejection as this goes back to your conditioning.
- It is easy to beat yourselves up about the things that are going wrong instead of the things that are going well. It is also common to have a downside view of things rather than a balanced or upside view.
- You would not want to get rid of fear. Fear is your internal warning system and a reaction to your environment to stay safe. Fear is real and you need it. We need emotions, it is more about feeling and contextualising the emotions and reacting accordingly.
- Contextualise what is real and what is imagined. Contextualise what is a ‘first world fear’ and what is real and threatening to you. Failure and mistakes keep you humble. Therefore it all serves a purpose if none of these emotions existed then we would all become complacent and arrogant.
- Nobody is a failure. Everybody is perfect at being themselves. You can fail at things or be rejected on occasion but that does not make you a failure or a reject. Usually, people aren’t rejecting you; they are rejecting whatever you are offering, selling or promoting. It is not personal, if you do feel rejection it is probably more about your past rejection than your present or future rejection.
