S3E43: Resilience Isn't a Trait—It's a Practice
Feeling overwhelmed by your endless to-do list? Questioning if you're cut out for the entrepreneur life? You're not alone—and you're definitely not failing.
In this Monday Morning Motivation episode, Anna Steinfest busts the biggest myth about resilience: that some people are just "naturally" resilient while others aren't. Spoiler alert: resilience isn't something you're born with—it's something you build, one choice at a time.
What You'll Learn:
- Why thinking of resilience as a fixed trait is holding you back
- A simple 3-step framework to strengthen your "resilience muscle" this week
- How to pivot with grace when your plans fall apart (because they will!)
- The one priority technique that cuts through overwhelm instantly
Real Stories, Real Results: Anna shares her own vulnerable story about a workshop launch that completely flopped—and how she turned that failure into her biggest success. Plus, hear how boutique owner Sofia transformed a holiday disaster into her most profitable season ever.
Your Weekly Action Plan:
- Create a personal mantra that actually works
- Protect 30 minutes for what matters most
- Connect with another entrepreneur (community beats isolation every time)
Perfect for solo entrepreneurs, women-owned business owners, and anyone who's ever wondered if they have what it takes to keep going when things get tough.
