From the course: Overcoming Rejection
Hooray, you got rejected!
- Oh yay, you got rejected. What, you're not happy about it? Well, you could be. Think about what rejection really means. It means you tried something new. It means you put yourself out there. It means you dared to do something differently than you had ever done it before. And you know what that means. It means you're growing and changing and shifting and growing is life. Change is life. My name is Sam Bennett and let's just say I know a thing or two about rising from the ashes of rejection. I'm a speaker, a consultant, an award-winning marketer, a bestselling author and I spent years working in theater and television. I've faced plenty of closed doors and rejected opportunities. But I didn't let it stop me. I don't want it to stop you. In this course, I'll teach you how to reframe rejection and move forward with it. I'll teach you how to look rejection in the face and look for the truth. The truth of the circumstances and most importantly, your truth. You'll learn how to do a cost-benefit analysis around rejection, gain valuable methods for self-soothing and emotional intelligence and I'll share with you my strategies for finding opportunities when it seems like they're all dried up because they haven't, by the way. Leland Val Vanderwal once said that "the degrees to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about him or herself without running away." So where can you go and grow now that you've been rejected? If you're ready to find out, let's get started.
