Rejection Therapy is a powerful mindset and behaviour exercise where you intentionally seek rejection to build resilience, confidence, and boldness in business and life.
Here’s why it’s a game-changer for business owners:
What Is Rejection Therapy?
It’s the practice of intentionally putting yourself in situations where rejection is likely, with the goal of:
Reducing the fear of failure or embarrassment.
Desensitising your emotional response to hearing “no.”
Increasing your willingness to take bold, profitable risks.
✅ The goal isn’t to fail—it’s to stop letting the fear of failure control you.
