In my head (I’ve just started watching this) and the Rejection chart has me singing ‘gonna get myself, gonna get myself, gonna get myself rejected’

Yes I’m cool

How fab! You could maybe use one of your charts to keep count of the number of jobs you turn down now Katie 😊 (or the ones you put on yr jobs board) would be interesting to see that against the number of No's 😁

Rejections are just so tough to take, but it’s a proof that I showed up. Thanks for this Katie.

I have made my own chart just before the Frankfurt Book Fair last year! I am at 15 rejections since. And I have a two part play, 60 and 100. It keeps me grounded but also reminded me that it is about the journey, not just the destination.

bloody brilliant!! I’ve never got past like 35 rejections before I’m too busy to seek out anymore rejection. It’s magic 😆

Have you listened to Creative Pep Talk - Andy J Pizza? Reckon it’s good inspiration for possible public speaking 🥰

I mean all of it 😅 there were definitely some particular episodes where he talks about it more but I’m not sure which ones (sorry) - will let you know if I come across any.

This is such a good way to look at your challenge. I have many a time never even dared to apply at many a case for fear of a rejection. However, taking it as a challenge make you want to at least try and not feel bad about it... Thank so much for the 💭

yesss it’s so helpful for taking away the sting of rejection (and it’s a bonus when the rejections turn into invitations further down the line!)

I got rejected recently and they sent an email asking me to apply for another opportunity and I was like 😒 NO I AM DELETING U AND NEVER WANT TO SEE U AGAIN…. Very immature I know 😂 but now I want the rejection chart and maybe I’ll try again 😆😆
