As a multiple business owner with over a decade of experience running businesses and supporting clients, I’ve learnt that business is like a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs and we only ever share our successes. The Breaking Through Adversity episodes will include conversations and inspirational storied from business owners and people sharing their coping mechanisms and tips to overcome challenges faced. I’ll also have episodes sharing what I have learnt on my own journey of resilience and mental health battles to share and offer insights.Copyright 2025 All Rights Reserved Economics Hygiene & Healthy Living Leadership Management & Leadership Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • Failure is a part of success with Zoe Goodchild
    Apr 21 2024

    One of the most important lessons I have learned over the last 12 months is that other people’s opinions are irrelevant.

    Every decision you make as an entrepreneur could be the best or worst decision ever. But either way it is part of your journey, and it does not define you. So, you have to overcome the fear of judgement to embrace a growth mindset.

    In this episode I explore mindset around failure, and how we should use the lessons learnt to your benefit going forward rather than dwell and spiral into negative self-talk.

    “Failure does not define you it refines you”- Zoe Goodchild

    01:20 – An update on my personal journey

    03:00 – Resilience in the secret sauce to success

    04:43 – Fear of being labelled a failure

    06:12 – Let go of the fear of judgement
