This is a YouTube video titled "Overcoming rejection and self doubt" containing a monologue by Beverley Simpson recorded on July 27, 2023. Beverley shares insights on handling rejection in business, particularly how to separate personal identity from negative outcomes like sales call rejections or low engagement on posts, and discusses mindset strategies to overcome these challenges.
And one of the biggest things that I always ask my clients more so my clients who are more seasoned in business, who are more experienced, but I start asking my more beginners this too, is what are you making this mean about you? That's like the biggest question that has helped them. And it's so simple. And I've asked myself that from time to time because we do take things personally. When you get a no for on a sales call, you think it's no on you. You think it's no on who you are. And that's like if you were ridiculed growing up and if you were, if that was a huge like trigger point for you, it's going to harder to bounce back from that. So how can you separate yourself from that no? How can you separate yourself from posting something and it getting zero engagement and flopping and you feeling like, oh, that's a no on me. And so I always ask myself and my clients, what are you making this mean about you? And then the second thing I ask, and I got this from a really good friend whose program I took, so I want to credit her. It was called Destroy the Mindset Drama.
