Feeling overwhelmed by your endless to-do list? Questioning if you're cut out for the entrepreneur life? You're not alone—and you're definitely not failing.

In this Monday Morning Motivation episode, Anna Steinfest busts the biggest myth about resilience: that some people are just "naturally" resilient while others aren't. Spoiler alert: resilience isn't something you're born with—it's something you build, one choice at a time.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why thinking of resilience as a fixed trait is holding you back
  • A simple 3-step framework to strengthen your "resilience muscle" this week
  • How to pivot with grace when your plans fall apart (because they will!)
  • The one priority technique that cuts through overwhelm instantly

Real Stories, Real Results: Anna shares her own vulnerable story about a workshop launch that completely flopped—and how she turned that failure into her biggest success. Plus, hear how boutique owner Sofia transformed a holiday disaster into her most profitable season ever.

Your Weekly Action Plan:

  • Create a personal mantra that actually works
  • Protect 30 minutes for what matters most
  • Connect with another entrepreneur (community beats isolation every time)

Perfect for solo entrepreneurs, women-owned business owners, and anyone who's ever wondered if they have what it takes to keep going when things get tough.

Episode Length: 15 minutes
Best Listened To: Monday morning with your coffee, or anytime you need a resilience boost

Remember: Every entrepreneur you admire has felt exactly how you're feeling right now. What sets them apart isn't the absence of struggle—it's the presence of persistence.
