Hey there, friend! Welcome to my blog on Success After Failure! I’m so glad that you’re here. My name is Sarah, and I’m a career coach and mentor. Building a thriving career after hitting rock bottom is something close to my heart, and I want to share with you some of the stories and tips that have helped me and others turn their lives around.

Hitting Rock Bottom 🤕💔

Hitting rock bottom doesn’t always mean losing everything you have or going through a traumatic event. Sometimes it’s just hitting a wall, feeling stuck, or failing at something that you thought was essential to your life’s purpose. It can be hard, disheartening, and demotivating, but the good news is that you can come back from it. When I hit rock bottom, I tried everything to get back on my feet, but the one thing that worked was to look at it as an opportunity to grow.

Changing Your Mindset 🧠🌱

One of the essential things that helped me rebuild a thriving career was changing my mindset. I stopped looking at failure as a weakness and started seeing it as an opportunity to learn and grow. A growth mindset is essential when building a successful career. It helps you see failure as an opportunity to learn and improve, instead of a setback.
