rejection but first of all what is
rejection is it when they don’t accept
you on the job if your loved one dumps
you what is really a rejection just
morning actually I heard and fascinating
story right and rather tragic the one
that was the 300 people wedding in
London a couple days ago and the bride
comes out and says well guys school
decided there will be no wedding so you
can all enjoy the food now that’s a
rejection I want you to think about the
rejection that you have experienced on
the other so I became Arya Stark I
counted their names I went to the gym
became stronger and kick their butts I’m
scared I stayed home I didn’t do
anything I distance myself from
everything I dropped out the singing
class I jump out before people wish I
was good at so I stayed home being
scared so I didn’t really help any
anyway the situation that I was in but
later I remember going to stick it with
all my friends
we’re good skiers so I wanted to become
skier two days in and I fell down I
twisted my knee caps so the idea of me
becoming a skier was shattered I was
sitting there watching I’m having fun
skiing while I couldn’t but the next
year I thought to myself what shall I do
no stay home feel sorry for myself or I
should go back
and prove it that I can do it so I got
up I went there and five days straight
I was working very hard while everyone
was having fun walking up and down the
mountain working out my muscles so I
could do it and I did it I did it and I
was actually much much better than many
of the people who were skiing for much
longer so I learned a great lesson for
myself if you face reality if you face
your fear of rejection of not being able
to do something you can make it happen
you just have to work for it that later
in 2008 when the war happened in Georgia
Georgia wasn’t a great place for me to
live in I wanted to do something else
my dream was to go to the US but how
could I go to the u.s. I didn’t even
speak English well so I decided to work
on SATs per my wish by YouTube videos
and I was really determined to do it and
by sheer coincidence my friend reached
out to me and said hey I’m for studies
would you like to join maybe I can get
started in the top and make to the US
but it sounded like a dream to Czech
Republic so I collected enough money to
go and pay for the University for one
semester so I did it I went there I went
in fact -25° with my backpack and I’m
thinking what the hell I’m gonna do now
so I was ready I was desperate I had
come to earth in my pocket and I bought
food with it so I this I can eat I put
it in the fridge next day it’s gone so
what do I do now
to work anywhere we work on the
construction to be a cleaner back
somehow
my friends acquaintances reached out to
me and he said oh my boss really wants
to set up a Facebook page and could you
help me I said sure it’s easy so I went
in I did it for them and his boss really
liked my approach so he said would you
like to work here yesterday yeah of
course today so I started working there
I was happy there but then somehow I got
an opportunity to move to London so I
thought you know I didn’t mention I
didn’t speak Czech at war so I thought
maybe I’ll go to London I speak at this
English store and hit there so I go
there I leave my job I leave my
apartment give my all stuff away I move
of papers in the corner and I open this
computer I cannot and I wish now to
accent welcome to be Georgian
so he speaks to me on the phone in
Georgian and says don’t make any mimics
now because she can understand it she’s
a dangerous woman so I pretended that I
didn’t remember the password I left so
now I’m starting again from the scratch
I go to Prague black PDF of the job
again and I was working there so I
realize it is very important to remember
I decided I needed to experience this
why I moved on I became a freelancer and
as you know freelancing job is rejection
all day every day couple years I decided
to go job so what my birthday is today
um I had an opening moment when I said
you have to stop so I will talk to an
acquaintance and I said how about we set
up French of your social media agents in
Georgia
because I got some connections with
hedge funds so I convinced him I went
there and I opened the office in first
two weeks from the office I registered
the company reached out the clients and
if that’s not hard enough then I have to
find people to work for me because we
have to deliver to the clients and that
was the hardest part because I had to
train them from scratch because it’s
very difficult to find such
professionals there so one year in and
the company was the leading social media
agency in Georgia we had been working
with the banks with all companies with
FMCG we were doing just great two years
the company was so successful times were
so happy with our services our team was
amazing so friendly its imperfect it was
a dream of mine come true
so as the company was growing I decided
that I could work on expansion of become
I’m doing my absence I appoints the girl
as a director who would handle things
when I was not there she was with us
from the beginning I told her everything
are you I helped her establish on the
market and six months in she became a
director and she decided that my
services were no longer required and she
pretended she was up to the speed and
what was I doing there so she reached
out to my Czech partner and said we’re
handling everything we don’t need him
why don’t you get rid of them altogether
so they did and you’re probably
wondering how they could get rid of me
for my own company and I’ll tell you yes
– between in 2015 when it all started I
really never thought that’s the problem
of startups that in the beginning it’s
an emotional idea that you’re passionate
about and you often forget about the
legal stuff that you have to put on
paper so I forgot it I was so invested
in Subang company’s development I’ve so
much motivated to make it happen that I
never insisted on read writing down the
rules of how our partnership will be
handled I was left like this and I
didn’t know what to do but I realized it
wife taught me everything we really need
to turn this projection into something
positive to channel an energy of being
upset into something how you can
recreate yourself so I didn’t give
myself a time for remorse and
procrastination I never laid down and
soft and feel sorry for myself I created
a routine for myself I said why don’t I
every day we talk to people and I say
hey how can we work together because I
didn’t have a choice at work so I did
that and two months in when this major
setback happened I am my own boss now I
own a consulting company I work with the
digital agencies and
our points are reaching four million
people in the US than products so if
anyone would tell me that after this
major setback happened and my life was
destroyed I was rejected by the person I
was let go from the company thought that
I created but I will go by the person
who – the most so this turned around
into something very positive and much happier than before
