Rejection—it’s something we all face, but what if we’ve been seeing it the wrong way? In this episode of The Backstage Podcast, Mike O’Connell shares a game-changing perspective on rejection, inspired by Jamie Kern Lima’s journey from relentless rejection to billion-dollar success.
Most people let rejection stop them. The most successful people use it as fuel. Today, Mike unpacks three powerful mindset shifts that will transform how you handle rejection:
Rejection is redirection—every "no" is guiding you toward a better "yes."
Rejection is a rep—each rejection builds resilience, just like lifting weights.
Rejection is a reminder—proof that you're in the game, stepping out, and growing.
If fear of rejection has been holding you back, this episode will challenge and equip you to step forward with confidence. Take action, push past the fear, and remember: rejection isn’t failure—it’s a setup for something greater.
What’s one thing you’d do differently if you had zero fear of rejection? DM Mike or drop a comment—he’d love to hear your story!
