Jeannette discusses the concept of going backwards in order to go forwards in life and business. She shares personal examples from her career and life where she had to take a step back or sideways in order to ultimately move forward.
From struggling to find a job after graduating to making a sideways move to a different industry, she emphasises the importance of embracing change and learning from setbacks
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Sometimes in life and business, it is necessary to go backwards in order to go forwards. This means that setbacks or taking a step back can actually lead to future progress and growth.
Life is not always a straight path, and there can be many different routes and choices to make. It is important to keep it real and share our journeys authentically, as success is not always linear.
Going backwards or sideways can provide an opportunity for reflection and gaining clarity. It allows us to reassess our goals and identify alternative options that may lead to greater success.
Embracing setbacks, rejections, and failures as learning experiences is crucial. These moments can provide valuable lessons and pave the way for future opportunities.
BEST MOMENTS
"Life isn't always a straight path... we might have a perfect plan, but then it doesn't quite work out that way”
"I had to go backwards in order to go forward... I graduated with a first, but then had to take any job I could get."
"Not everything is rosy in the garden, you're going to get knockbacks, you're going to get rejections, you're going to fail loads, just accept it, embrace it, take it as learning."
"Do not worry if you need to go backwards to go forward... the worst thing you can do is sit in a situation which you're not happy with, you're not progressing, you're not getting the results that you want."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.
