198 | Q&A: I'm Scared of Rejection
Listen now
Description
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. About Anne:Anne is a womenswear designer who is focused on inclusive and sustainable fashion. She is experienced in the whole design process from brainstorming a new collection to product development.  She has worked part-time in customer service and previously experienced the challenges of the fashion industry job market, finding it to be toxic and undervaluing. Despite her fears and hesitations, Anne is determined to break free from this mold and elevate her freelance career.
