Rejection!

“During the darkest days of the Model 3 program, I reached out to Tim Cook to discuss the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla (for 1/10 of our current value). He refused to take the meeting.” @elonmusk

As much as rejection sucks, often, the further removed from it we become, the more it seems like a blessing.

After a rejection, two narratives may emerge. One takes us toward a direction of doom—a story and outcome we do not desire. But the other narrative can be hopeful—a story of possibilities. 

The idea is to consciously redirect rejection toward the positive narrative which fosters the emotions that set you up for a win, later.

In fact, rejection’s greatest value may be that it fosters emotional resilience and self-reliance!

After a rejection, be aware of the story you’re telling yourself. For example, “Oh sh*t! I didn’t get that job, nobody’s going to hire anyone my age,” or, “They wouldn’t fund our company, we have way too much debt, nobody is ever going to invest in our company.”

If you’re spiraling down this negative path, think about Elon Musk in the above scenario. After Apple’s rejection, he remained resilient and steered his company through troubled waters. He was able to look back and laugh at the rejection, noting that Telsa, at the time, was worth 1/10th of its present value.

Listen in for more on handling rejection, how to redirect rejection to foster the positive narrative and emotions that set you up for winning later, and how to craft the supportive story that will carry you to your eventual success.
