“That’s IT, I’m done!” How many times have you had that thought while trying to promote or build your business? Rejection still stings even in the midst of yeses. It can be difficult to keep your chin up when facing disappointments; staying upbeat and positive can be challenging.

Contact Cindy for administrative support.

Xperience Connections’ education topic for July was “What do you do to overcome disappointments, rejection, or discouragement? Share what keeps you from never quitting.”

Here are strategies our attendees use to keep their spirits lifted. Thank you to the women of the Douglasville and Powder Springs XC:
