Turn Your Setback Into A Comeback

07/16/20 • 19 min

We got an email this week from a listener who wants advice on how to deal with setbacks. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and all of us have had to pivot. This is a time for us to reset, reflect, and reinvigorate. Let’s dive in to how we can turn a setback into a comeback!

Episode highlights (what to evaluate when experiencing a setback):

Start with evaluating what you are grateful for, what you do have, and what you can feel proud of
We can’t predict the future, but we can go with the flow and embrace what we have in the present
Reset and write down all the possibilities you want to pursue; start dreaming!
Remember that life is happening FOR you, not to you
Broaden your arsenal by exploring what new things you can learn; be openminded to growth
Write a letter to yourself about what life looks like 5 years from now to manifest your dreams
- What are you doing – career, activities, experiences, etc.?
- What people do you have around you? Who is your circle?
- What do your partnerships look like?
- What gift, joy, skill, value, and expertise are you bringing to the world around you?

Building Your Board of Directors

Jim Rohn says: “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Our caller asks us about the characteristics of these people. In this episode, we break down who we believe should be sitting on your Board of Directors. We know firsthand that who you surround yourself with has a direct correlation with who you are and how you evolve. Don’t you want to be the absolute best version of yourself? Find out how!

Episode highlights:

Nobody does big things on their own, we all need to be surrounded by people who help us thrive
Remember SAVER (Support, Aligned, Value-add, Elevate, Rise); surround yourself with SAVERs
Key roles to consider: Connector, Accountability Master, Shoulder to Lean On, Dreamer, Mentor
A Connector is someone who helps you with networking (this could be a person or a group)
An Accountability Master is a coach who gives you feedback and helps you achieve your goals
A Shoulder to Lean On is a person who is your emotional support and is a trusted confidant
A Dreamer thinks big, motivates you, is courageous, and pushes you out of your comfort zone
A Mentor is someone who is experienced in areas of life that you want to excel at or explore
There may be individuals in your life who serve in multiple roles; if so, lucky you!
Grab a pen and paper and take a few minutes to jot down who your Board Members are
If you need help with filling in your Board seats, reach out to us. We’d love to support you!
