We will face setbacks our entire careers. Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Some big. Some small. We’ll be embarrassed. Blamed. Maybe even laughed at behind closed doors. Sounds horrible I know. It’s why work sometimes sucks.
But giving up because of a setback is like slashing all your other tires because one got flat. We see people do it all the time. Totally deflated.
When setbacks happen, forcing yourself to think “How do I grow?” may feel hard to even fathom at the moment, but it’s unequivocally one of the most powerful habits you can practice. Success lies here.
Success hunts people with growth mindsets.
Companies pay for it and promote it.
Entrepreneurs dine out on it.
Here’s a one-page visual that you can print, save, or turn into a paper airplane, but we hope that whatever happens to you, this tool will help remind you that you can decide the outcome you want.
We call it a Little Handy Thing.
With love & growth,
The Jolt.
