Didn’t get the promotion you wanted? Lost your biggest customer or, worse, lost your job? No matter how successful you are, at some point, you may encounter a career setback. Instead of being devastated, you can turn that setback into a growth experience. What do you do when you’re constantly passed over for that position or promotion or never given that raise? Enter Barbara Corcoran from ABC’s Shark Tank. “The most amazing thing happened when I replaced the tape in my head from ‘You’re not smart enough,’ or ‘You can’t compete with them,’ to ‘You’re f-ing amazing, Barbara!’” Corcoran says on LinkedIn. “I started believing it. Negative thoughts and negative people are like thieves in the night. They steal your energy and give you nothing in return. Surround yourself with positive people, and you’ll be amazed at how far you go.”
