Turn Business (and Personal) Rejection Into Redirection
Thursday, 10 July, 2025
I’m going to be real with you—sometimes the biggest business breakthroughs don’t happen on stage, in a meeting, or during a strategy session. They happen when your feelings get hurt, your plans go sideways, and you say “yes” anyway.In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of how a last-minute trip to Nashville turned into one of the most impactful mastermind experiences of my year—all because I chose to show up, even when I felt excluded.Here’s the tea: I wasn’t invited to a mastermind dinner I thought I’d be part of. And, like any human with a beating heart, I had a lot of feelings. I let myself sit in them. I reached out to my girl Amy Porterfield. And instead of letting the exclusion define me, I made a new story—and booked a plane ticket.Spoiler: That trip led to a powerful mini mastermind with some of the most brilliant female entrepreneurs I know (Jenna Kutcher, Bonnie Christine, and more), and I walked away 1% better—and with 5 key takeaways you can apply to your business today.Here’s what you’ll learn:Why rest is just as productive as hustleHow to reframe moments of rejectionWhat “choosing a better story” looks like in actionThe power of informal opportunitiesHow to squeeze value out of every experience (even the ones that don’t go as planned)Whether you're navigating disappointment or wondering if it’s worth hopping on a plane last-minute, I hope this episode encourages you to trust the process and say yes to what could be next.Because the truth is, the right rooms won't just open for you—they’ll find you when you're ready.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:54] Why Rejection Hurt: Unpacking a Business Exclusion[02:44] Choose a Better Story: How I Reframed the Narrative[03:42] How Vulnerability Sparked a New Opportunity[04:32] The 1% Rule: Why Small Gains Lead to Big Growth[05:28] 32 Hours in Nashville: High-Energy Learning & Connections[08:04] Informal Masterminds Matter: What This Trip Taught Me[10:22] Why Being Present (Even When Disappointed) Still Pays OffListen to Related Episodes:Three Ways to Remove Comparison and Become UnstoppableBuilding Confidence with Ease: How I’m Becoming the 3X Version of Myself📧 Join my Newsletter for a weekly cocktail of insider business strategy, personal reflections, and the journey of being a thought leader: https://jasminestar.com/newsletter 📧For full show notes, visit jasminestar.com/podcast/episode560
