Your setbacks don’t define you

When you face a setback or you fail to meet your goals, don’t let it count for nothing. Setbacks and failures are essential for growth. If you’ve suffered a setback thanks to the pandemic, ask yourself what you can do to change how you feel about it, and to influence what happens next.

Don’t Let Your Setbacks Count For Nothing.

Are You Too Scared To Move Forward?

I was driving between appointments when the car in front of me stopped at a red traffic light. That’s what they’re supposed to do, so I wasn’t phased. BUT… when the light turned green, the car just sat there. It didn’t move. Then it inched forward. I could see the driver looking left, and then right, and then left and then right… the car kept inching forward and the driver kept checking to see if the road was clear. They took so long to get away from the lights that I nearly didn’t make it through, and I saw the lights change to red just as I passed them.

I thought to myself “does this driver know where they’re going?” I wondered if they were lost or perhaps just really cautious. The driver did the exact same thing at every set of traffic lights so I’m guessing they were just a really cautious driver.

There’s a ton of inspirational quotes I could come up with that would relate to that cautious driver, which would also be entirely relevant to the business owner struggling to make a living running their own business.

  • Learn from your setbacks.
  • Defeat your fears.
  • Don’t live life with the pause button permanently pressed.

I don’t have to list out every one of them here, I think you know where I’m going (did you see what I did there??) and what I mean!

When you face a setback or you fail to meet your goals, don’t let that experience count for nothing

What sets those who achieve success apart from those who don’t, is really simple: it’s their ability to use their experiences to their advantage.

People who achieve success learn from everything that they do, good, bad or indifferent. They keep testing, keep trying, keep moving forward. They don’t see an endpoint other than ultimate success. They don’t ‘feel’ defeat. They don’t believe that failure is an endpoint. To the successful person, failure was just a stopping point on their journey.

To a successful person, failure is like a bus stop; just because the bus stops there doesn’t mean they have to get off it.

Wondering Why You’re Stuck?

What is stopping you from achieving your goals? Why aren’t you making the money you want to make? Why haven’t you set up that business yet?

If you’re struggling to get your business off the ground, for whatever reason, then reach out to someone who can help you. Don’t push on regardless. You don’t know what you don’t know. Sometimes, the fastest way to success is to seek answers or help from someone who’s already been on that journey and is at least a few ‘bus stops’ ahead of you.
