You’re rejected

What if the only thing standing between you and your next breakthrough is a single uncomfortable action? 

Not a new tool. Not more funding. Just a bold, possibly awkward, definitely heart-racing decision.

Jenny Wood didn’t meet the love of her life by waiting for the universe - she ran off a subway car and made it happen. 

That same wild courage got her promoted at Google, built a viral career program, and launched her book.

What are you talking yourself out of today?

And what might happen if you chased it anyway?

We feature Jenny Wood's interesting story in inside scoop below.

✅ One Subway Ride, One Bold Ask—and a Whole New Life
“I just went for it. What’s the worst that could happen?” Jenny Wood’s wild move on the C train led to a marriage—and a power career at Google. What would happen if you stopped playing it safe?

✅ The $20K Invoice That Sparked a Data Empire
“All I wanted was to solve my own problem. Then someone asked to pay me.” That $20K invoice turned Harry Glaser’s analytics tool into a rocket ship called Periscope Data. Could your side hustle be a gold mine in disguise?

✅ Fail Like a Pro: How Entrepreneurs Turn Faceplants into Fortune
“Failure taught me more than any win ever did.” From Jobs to Blakely, top founders didn’t just survive failure—they built empires from it. What if your biggest mistake is actually your best asset?

✅ This Teen Paused His GCSEs—And Scored $1M for His AI Startup
“Most kids revise for exams. I flew to Silicon Valley to raise capital.” At just 16, Toby Brown built an AI tool in his bedroom—then convinced US investors to hand him $1M. What does it take to get tech titans to bet on a teenager?

Steve Jobs got fired from the company he co-founded.

Sara Blakely was rejected by every investor she pitched. 

Doesn’t sound like the origin story of billion-dollar empires, right?

But here’s the truth: failure isn’t the opposite of success -  it’s the foundation of it.

These weren’t one-off stumbles; they were painful, public, gut-punching flops. Jobs built the wrong product.

Blakely had no background, no money, and every door slammed in her face.

And yet?

They didn’t fold.

They learned, adjusted, and pushed again.

Entrepreneurship isn’t about getting it right the first time.

It’s about falling flat and choosing to rise smarter.

What if your biggest failure is just the training ground for your future breakthrough?

What if the “no” today is the setup for a better “yes” tomorrow?

Let this be your reminder: setbacks are not signals to stop - they’re signs you’re in the game.

Keep going.

Your Setback Is Just a Setup for a Killer Comeback.

Ever felt like you're one bad decision away from calling it quits? 

Like everything’s unraveling faster than a cheap sweater in a spin cycle? 

That’s not the end. That’s the setup. 

Setbacks aren’t signals to stop - they’re plot twists. 

The kind that make the hero (a.k.a. you) bounce back even stronger. 

If you know how to reframe the mess, you'll start seeing gold in the rubble. 

That's why I recommend subscribing to curated growth newsletters that teach you how to flip crisis into creation - and come back swinging.

Spoiler - The Water’s Still Cold

So here’s the situation:

You’re standing at the edge of your genius idea, side hustle dreams in one hand, self-doubt in the other… And you’re thinking, “Maybe I’ll jump when it feels right.”

Newsflash: It won’t.

The water doesn’t get warmer just because you hesitated in style.

It’s still freezing.

Still terrifying.

Still waiting to slap you with reality like an unpaid invoice.

But guess what?

That fear you feel?

It’s not a stop sign.

It’s just your brain running Windows 98 while your ambition’s begging for an upgrade.

You don’t need a perfect brand kit.

You don’t need 10,000 followers.

You don’t even need a ring light — sunlight is free, baby.

You just need the courage to belly flop into the unknown before you feel ready.

Because spoiler alert: No one ever feels ready.

They just get tired of standing still.

So whether your hustle is making art, selling digital templates, flipping thrift finds, or building the next billion-dollar app from your mom’s Wi-Fi…

Stop asking if the water’s warm. It’s not.

Jump anyway.

Messy starts make magic happen.
