Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex.

I went from being a comp to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day.

I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now.

Rejection. It's one of the hardest pills to swallow in business.
That email you were waiting on, no response. That deal you thought was a lockdown, gone.
It stinks. But rejection isn't a dead end.

It's actually a detour. What's up, everybody? It's Paul Alex, former detective turn serial entrepreneur.
I built my companies through discipline, grit, and self-belief.

And I can tell you firsthand, rejection has redirected me towards every major win in my life.

Today I want to show you how to turn rejection into redirection and use it to build an unstoppable resilience for yourself. Rejection builds character faster than success ever could for you.

When I first started pitching business owners on my first venture to how to do with ATMs, I got doors slammed in my face daily. Some laughed at me.
Some ignored me.

I used to drive home thinking, maybe I'm not cut out for this. But then I realized every no was teaching me something.
Better communication, better timing, better mindset.

If you're hearing no right now, you need to understand this. Rejection isn't punishment.
It's actually preparation. And rejection forces you to be creative.

Every failed attempt makes you think differently, guys. When business owners turned me down early on, when I would go ahead and pitch them, I changed my pitch.
I improved my tone.

I stopped trying to sound like a salesman and started acting like a problem solver. And within a few months, the same people who said no were calling me back.

So in business, rejection is just feedback. It's your roadmap to improvement.
And look, rejection actually protects you. Sometimes a no isn't about you.
It's protection from the wrong fit.

I've lost partnerships that hurt my ego at the time, but months later, I realized that that would have slowed my growth.

Look, the universe has a funny way of saving you from deals that look good, but aren't aligned. Don't chase validation, chase alignment.
So what is the key takeaway for this podcast today?

Rejection isn't the end of the story, guys. It's a plot twist.
That's how you get rerouted to where you actually are supposed to go. So I challenge you today.

Think about the last time you got rejected. What did it actually teach you? I want you to write it down and think that moment because it's part of your foundation now, guys.

That's how you flip doubt into confidence by showing up when nobody's watching, guys. You don't need permission, you just need momentum.
And as always, guys, keep leveling up.
