#30 Setbacks Pave the Way for Comebacks

The Jason Sullivan

How often are you pushing towards a goal or finish line & you hit a speed bump that derails your momentum. How do you respond? I used to cruise along at a good clip towards a goal, I would hit a speed bump, get derailed & just stop. It felt like failure was it, I messed up. It took some really significant setbacks stacked on top of each other for me to see what I was doing to myself and my relationships. It also made me realize that I had zero professional resilience. I felt like in my life, I had overcome some big setback personally, my divorce or being asked to resign from a company I helped build. What was the difference? It was confidence...or lack thereof. I was doing well in my job & things in my personal projects were more complex & bigger ideas. When your confidence is low, trying to do anything difficult seems almost impossible. That is where I was. How did I overcome & rebuild my confidence? I started small, I started keeping promises to myself. Really small promises. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jason-sullivan/support
