We often use the phrase “two steps forward,one step back” to depict the process offailure. But taking a step back after twosteps forward does not have to be negative. Withinthose movements, there is still progress. The journeyto success is rarely linear, so I believe it’s the individualswho know how to overcome roadblocks,setbacks, failure, and rejection that reach their highestpotential and live the most fulfilling lives.When I am rejected or hear “no,” I take time to lookat the resilience of successful people I know andadmire for inspiration. In my current role, I have beenfortunate to meet many influential and successfulpeople. One of the individuals I enjoy working withthe most is billionaire John Paul DeJoria. Somethinghe says that has always resonated with me is that oneof the keys to success is being prepared for rejection.“Throughout your career, you are going to run acrossrejection. You will knock on doors, and many willclose on you. To be successful, you must remain asconfident and enthusiastic on door No. 59 as youwere on door No. 1. If you realize this is going tohappen, the rejection won’t hit you so hard. It willhelp you be resilient!” - John Paul DeJoriaDespite now being a multi-billionaire, John Paul’sroute to success didn’t unfold in the streamlined waythat most people probably expect. The co-founder ofJohn Paul Mitchell Systems and founder of PatronTequila had to work incredibly hard to get to wherehe is today. He lived an impoverished childhood,ended up homeless on two separate occasions as ayoung adult, and even spent time working as adoor-to-door salesman and a janitor. It may be hard tobelieve, but one of the most profitable haircare companiesin the world, started out being peddled fromthe trunk of John Paul’s car.John Paul DeJoria firmly believes that every ‘no’allows you the opportunity to mold yourself into asuccess. When you utilize every experience as alesson for growth, unearth a sharper and more resilientversion of yourself.There are countless examples of iconic people whohave achieved success by facing their failings andusing them to harness determination and reach the topof their field.3. Steven Spielberg“Failure is inevitable.
