198 | Q&A: I'm Scared of Rejection

Fashion Designers Get Paid: Build Your Fashion Career On Your Own Terms

Rejection doesn't have to be synonymous with failure.

The truth is, there will always be rejection in your fashion design career and that can be scary (and totally normal!). But whether you hear a yes or no shouldn't be what determines your success. In this episode, I talk with Anne Benschop about the fear of rejection and the impact that can have as a freelance fashion designer. We work on reframing her mindset to measure her success based on her actions, not others'.

Don't let the fear of rejection hold you back. Listen to this episode to learn how you can also reframe your mindset to let go of some of that fear and start making progress in your freelance business.
