When you set out to create something, you’re going to hear a lot more “no'' than ”yes"—but don’t let that discourage you. Instead, make it work in your favor.I founded TO THE MARKET to power the ethical and sustainable supply chain, a value proposition that seems hard to argue with, but that hasn’t stopped me from being on the receiving end of a steady stream of rejection. It’s taken me a long time to learn how to accept rejection and turn it into a driving force. From understanding how to process feedback to practicing patience and establishing a network of support, these lessons have been invaluable—and essential—to my growth as an entrepreneur, and every step of the way was a vital one on my path to building my business.
