Welcome to today's Monday Minute . And today's Monday Minute is brought to you by Kayla Simmons and I'm going to let her just take it away , because she has a brilliant message for you to start on this Monday morning . Hi , chrissy , and thank you so much for having me back . My best advice for entrepreneurs who are looking to make a comeback would likely be narrowed down to these three things . Okay , first things . First . We get to redefine the way that we are looking at this situation . You are not a failure . You're not a failure . You are a CEO . You are an entrepreneur . You are a boss . You are a rock star .

Speaker 1 0:41

Failure is what happened to you . You had a plan , a goal , a launch , an idea that just didn't go the way that you had hoped for it to go , but that doesn't make you a failure . That means that the plan failed . When we learn to separate ourselves from the things that happened to us , we can view it with fresh eyes . We can view it with an opportunity to find , you know , resources and experience and knowledge from it and see how we could do things better in the future , and it takes away that veil or that negative connotation that we might have about ourselves in relation to it . Secondly , we get to remember that no one is immune to failure , like literally no one . I look back at my list of famous failures very often and includes people like Thomas Edison and Michael Jordan and Oprah and the Hoover vacuum cleaner guy , first off . Who does not want to be included on that list of people ? And those people , we know them as wild successes today , but they failed and they failed often , often more than once . So learning that we get to use our pain as a launch pad to propel us into our next success , that has been so helpful to me and I hope to pass that on to other people , other entrepreneurs , who are going through those hills and valleys of business ownership .

Lastly , I want to remind you that even if your crown is crooked , you are still a queen . Even if it's crooked , that does not take away from your value . That does not take away from your worth . It doesn't take away from who you are and how you get to show up in the world . Knowing who you are is half the battle , right .

Speaker 1 2:21

The other half of it is remembering why . Why did you get started ? Why are you here ? What lights your soul on fire ? Why did you have this business plan in the first place ? And why is it important that you get your message out there ? If I don't remember who said it , but the saying goes that if you do not walk in alignment , if you don't show up the way that you are designed and nightly to show up in the world , people who are saying I'm going to show you the world , people who are assigned to you , miss the message that every time I hear that , I get like goosebumps , chills , because I don't want that on my conscience . So remember , it's okay to be sad , it's okay to be down , it's okay to cry , but when you finish there , straighten your crown and get back to work . I believe in you , I believe in your ability to turn things around and I believe in your comeback . Wait to see it .
