?Imagine working for a company for 14 years…
Climbing up the corporate ladder to break the glass ceiling and finally reach the C-suite …
Winning award after award…
Even named as “one of the most influential women in radio 2017”
And being fired out of nowhere just because the CEO’s daughter hated you?
?Well, that's what happened back at the end of 2017.?
And trust me, it sucked.
I was emotional, and I didn’t know what to do.
It felt like everything I worked so hard for disappeared and the non-compete I had wouldn’t let me work in the industry I had 20+ years of experience in any longer.?
I was going to have to start over somewhere new as a rookie.?
I was saying horrible things to myself.
?
“How could you let this happen to yourself, Heather”
?
“You’ve worked for a company for 14 years and now you’ve lost everything!”
?
It’s probably one of the lowest moments of my life.
Have you ever had a low moment like this?
Here’s what I learned:
?
What happens to you in life and how you respond to it are two different things.
?
I still had a couple of options.?
One, I could play the victim and dwell on the?“Why did this happen to me?”?
Two, I could distill everything down to FACTS ONLY.?
You know… like look at the incident AS IT IS and not make the incident?bigger?
?
Wanna guess which one I chose?
?
When I distilled this incident down to the most simplistic facts...
I realized I hadn’t lost everything, the only thing I lost was my paycheck.
But that’s it and I had earned paychecks at other places before.?
I didn’t lose my network, my expertise, OR my talents.
?
Wanna know what’s crazy?
?
Rejection became my ultimate Redirection!
?
?I decided to see all of the uncertainty as the ultimate possibility.?Time for something BIGGER!
?
?
You see, we ALL face villains in our lives...
?
Either it’s in our workplace where you’re not feeling acknowledged for your ideas…

?
Or it could be that you can't succeed because of your self-sabotaging behavior…
?
Everyone has these battles even if everyone doesn’t share them on social media.??
?
Unfortunately, no one ever taught us how to defeat our villains…
?
What most people would do is just turn a blind eye and get frustrated. I tried that and it doesn’t work.?
?
“Suck it up” and go about your day.
?
I don’t know about you… but that doesn’t solve anything.
?
You need to address the problem and solve it using a simple tool that is incredibly effective.
?
?
Some say they wish they could’ve read this book 20 years ago when they were younger.
?
I cannot recommend this book to you enough today no matter how old you are.?
?
If you wanna check out the reviews...?
?
Or if you’re ready to overcome whatever challenge you are facing now, Today is the DAY!
I bet you will spend more than $2.99 on a coffee this week.
You will definitely spend more on a gallon of gas.
Why not invest in yourself and start overcoming your challenges so you can finally achieve your dreams?
You were made for more.
?
Go check it out on amazon!
You are worth more than $2.99!

To your success,

2 年Well said Heather. Dealing with rejection starts in the heart attaching a ton of humility and prayer to and moving forward with the plan.
Every "rejection" puts you one step closer to a yes.... true professionals are committed to do the numbers. EPB
