Recovering From Failure


Failure is Not a Death Sentence

Tomorrow will be mid year. It's time to get up, dust yourself off and keep trying.

Hello Reader,,

We all experience failure at some point in our lives. It can be a painful and humbling experience, but it's also an opportunity to learn and grow. As someone who has worked in the financial industry for over a decade, I've seen my fair share of setbacks and disappointments. But I've also learned that failure is not the end of the road - it's just a detour.

Right before my divorce, I was in a sweet place with my finances. I managed to save $6,000 in one year. I planned to purchase my dream vehicle which was a Lexus, but life said He** No, not today, tomorrow or next year.
​

​
This put me in such a bad place, I was devastated because I knew if I moved forward with my divorce then this would set me back financially, cause me shame, disappointment and be an adjustment for my children.

I had to prioritize my life expectations, peace and future goals and decide which was more important the tangible or intangible. Either, I stay in an unhealthy situation or I go through the temporary pain knowing that it would lead me to something beautiful.
​
Had I known what I know now, I wouldn't have been soaking in misery so long, I would have ran and I mean fast so that I can get to my TODAY.

In fact, I had built a strong habit of being disciplined and saving when I set goals, so I knew I would build again. But my emotional state had my vision cloudy.

If you're feeling discouraged after a setback, remember that failure is not a reflection of your worth or abilities. Instead, it's an opportunity to reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve in the future. One of the most important things you can do after a failure is to take some time to regroup and gather yourself. This might mean taking a break from your usual routine, reaching out to friends or family for support, or seeking the guidance of a mentor or coach.

As smart business women, it's important to have a plan and it's important to stack your coins. I'm hosting a 3-day Budget Like A Boss challenge to help you set financial goals and keep them no matter how much money you make.

In my experience, one of the most effective ways to recover from failure is to focus on your strengths and identify areas where you can improve. For me, this meant honing my skills as a budgeting expert and sharing my knowledge with others. Over the years, I've taught hundreds of women how to budget effectively and take control of their finances. And now, I'm excited to announce my upcoming 3-day budget challenge, where I'll be sharing even more tips and strategies for living within your means.

If you're ready to bounce back from failure and take control of your finances, I invite you to join me for this exciting challenge. Together, we'll explore ways to save money, reduce debt, and build a brighter financial future. Don't let failure hold you back - take the first step towards success today!

Love,

Jess
