This month's Insider Diary is just me. I'm talking about the limiting beliefs that held me back in my career for decades, and what shifted for me.

In this episode:

  • The 3 limiting beliefs that held me back for at least 13 years: fear of rejection, waiting to be "discovered," and not wanting to be annoying
  • Why people rarely actually say no to you. Most of the time they just don't get back to you, and that's not the same thing
  • 3 quotes from past guests that changed how I think about rejection and follow-up (linked below)
  • The Facebook message that sat unread in someone's "other" folder for weeks, and how it ended up leading to a job on Neighbours
  • My rejection challenge: trying to get to 100 no's (I made it to 33)
  • Why following up isn't annoying, and how often is actually okay
  • What I'd tell my younger self, who was doing weddings on the weekends and had no idea how to make this career work.
