TED Talk Tuesday #215: What I learned from 100 days of rejection.

TED continues to spread ideas and help us all be better, critical thinkers. Watching, listening and talking about TED Talks is a popular pastime for many in the CN&CO community. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh, learn or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations and business opportunities.

Each week (OK, well, most weeks!) we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. It’s also a way that the CN&CO team play their part in spreading ideas and helping to make the world a better place. This week’s talk was chosen by Blake.

My friend Claudette Moore recently shared this TED Talk in a social media post where she shared how putting her new business out there was more scary than cycling solo across a country. This resonated with me, having dealt with fears of rejection and failure when I launched The Insurance Directory a year ago. Jia Jiang’s TED Talk is relevant and humorous and worth watching.
