Rejection Isn’t Personal. Keep Going.

Rejection stings.

We've all felt it in some way.

I've slowly learned to redirect the energy of rejection.

Follow me, I know it's a tough one here.

When I started inviting people onto the podcast or reaching out to folks I wanted to work with, I got ignored a lot.

A lot!

Some said no.

Most never replied.

And at first, I took every silence personally.

I kept thinking I said the wrong thing or didn’t sound professional enough.

But the more I did this, the clearer it became.

Their no was rarely about me.

It was a matter of timing, people's priorities, bandwidth, fear, strategy, or life happening on their end.

Rejection got easier when I stopped trying to decode people and started learning from the pattern.

It taught me to lead with value.

It taught me to refine my pitch.

It taught me to keep showing up even when nobody seems to care.

And it taught me that volume matters.

One message will not move your life.

The wild part is that the more visible I became, posting, interviewing, building, the more the yeses started to appear.

That is the lesson.

Rejection does not stop the people who keep moving.

It only stops the ones who take it personally.

If you are building something, let the no roll off your back.

Your job is to stay in motion long enough for the right people to see you.

Keep going.
