How to deal with FAILURE and rejection as a business owner

This week on Business Class Podcast, Vicky Owens opens up about the reality of rejection, failure, jealousy, and the messy middle of building success. From being turned down for dream jobs and missing out on opportunities like Forbes 30 Under 30 and major TV shows, to failed business ideas, podcast rejections, and moments that completely knocked her confidence - this is an honest conversation about what really happens behind the highlight reel.Vicky shares the emotional side of entrepreneurship that people rarely talk about: the comparison, the setbacks, the self-doubt, and the pressure of watching other people achieve the things you desperately want for yourself. But more importantly, she explains how every rejection ultimately redirected her towards something bigger, better, and more aligned.Celebrating one full year of Business Class and over 100,000 podcast listeners, Vicky reflects on the lessons she’s learned as a first-time business owner, podcast host, and entrepreneur navigating success in real time. She also shares powerful insights on manifestation, resilience, podcasting consistency, building a personal brand, social media marketing, entrepreneurship in your 20s, and why failing faster is often the secret to winning bigger.If you’ve ever felt behind in life, struggled with rejection, questioned your progress, or wondered when your breakthrough moment will come, this episode is the reminder you need that success rarely happens in a straight line.Topics covered in this episode:* Dealing with rejection in business and life* Forbes 30 Under 30 rejection and success story* Failed business ideas and lessons learned* Entrepreneurship in your 20s* Manifestation and mindset* Starting and growing a podcast* Social media agency growth* The realities of building a business* Confidence, comparison, and jealousy* Why consistency matters in podcasting and content creation* Learning from failure and setbacks* Building resilience as an entrepreneurWhether you're a business owner, content creator, aspiring entrepreneur, or simply trying to navigate your next chapter, this episode will leave you feeling motivated, understood, and ready to keep going.Send us Fan MailProduced by TAEPodcast www.taepodcast.co.uk
