Primary Blog/The Surprising Link Between Emotional Resilience and Earning Consistent Income

Entrepreneurship is often described as a rollercoaster—a thrilling ride filled with exhilarating highs and gut-wrenching lows. But what really determines your success in the long run isn't how you manage the highs; it's how quickly you bounce back from the lows. Emotional resilience—the ability to recover from setbacks, disappointments, and hard days—is the true differentiator between those who keep moving forward and those who give up.

As entrepreneurs, we will face failure. We will experience disappointments, and there will be days when we wake up in a funk and just can’t seem to shake it. But how quickly we can recognize and reverse those moments can make or break our journey to success.

This morning, I experienced just that—a moment when I woke up in a mood I couldn’t quite explain. I felt unmotivated and heavy, which isn’t ideal when you’ve got a business to run! It was one of those mornings where everything seemed to be working against me: only one person had bought my brilliant offer despite several weeks of dedicated work, a potential client canceled a call, and my most recent funnel was causing more trouble than it was worth. The situation could easily have spiraled into a wasted day.

But when I took a moment to pause and really assess where my mood was coming from, I realized something important. None of these business challenges were the real cause of my funk. Yes, they were frustrating, but my emotional state was actually linked to something much deeper—an old friendship that had faded over the years and left unresolved feelings within me. This revelation was key to changing my mood and getting back on track.

As entrepreneurs, we need to develop this emotional resilience. We are constantly navigating uncertainty, and we can't afford to get stuck in the lows. Every time we get derailed by a setback, it affects not only our mood but also our productivity and business outcomes. How quickly you can turn a low mood around determines how quickly you’re back on the path to success.

If you’ve been in business for any length of time, you’ll know that setbacks are inevitable. Sometimes the best offer you’ve ever created will barely sell. Sometimes potential clients cancel calls. And sometimes, no matter how much effort you put into creating the perfect sales funnel, things go wrong. This is part of the journey. There are no highs without the lows.

What sets successful entrepreneurs apart is the ability to acknowledge the disappointment, process the emotion, and then take action to bounce back. This is emotional resilience at its core.


This morning, after analyzing my thoughts and emotions, I came to a powerful realization: my bad mood had nothing to do with my work. But because I hadn’t initially identified the true cause, it was still affecting my ability to do what needed to be done in my business.

We're only human and we often forget to stop and check in with ourselves. It’s easy to assume that stress or a bad mood is entirely related to our business challenges. But oftentimes, it’s something deeper. Emotional resilience requires a level of awareness to recognize when there’s something else going on beneath the surface—and to take steps to address it.

Once I identified that my mood was connected to an old friendship that had slowly died over the years, I knew I had to do something about it. The feelings of loss and frustration had been sitting in my body for too long, and it was time to let them go.


This is where my practice of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as tapping, comes into play. EFT helps me move through stuck emotions and regain clarity and motivation. Today, I spent about 20 minutes tapping on the feelings of loss and resentment I had around that friendship. I tapped to forgive myself and forgive her, allowing the emotions to move through my body rather than staying stuck.

By the time I finished my tapping session, I felt lighter, clearer, and more focused. My mood had turned around, and I was ready to get back to business.

And here’s the incredible thing: tasks that had felt impossible in my low-energy state suddenly became easy. I completed my newsletter, followed up with my new client, and sorted out the problem with my funnel in a fraction of the time it would have taken had I forced myself to work through the unmotivated state.

This is the power of emotional resilience—when you can turn your mood around, everything else falls into place.

Why I Teach EFT in My Stylepreneur Accelerator Program

The ability to shift our emotions and get back on track is key to success in business. Tony Robbins teaches that "The quality of your life is the quality of your emotions." This is why managing our emotional state is so important for entrepreneurs. We can't always control what happens around us, but we can control how we respond to it.

This is why I include EFT as a strategy in my Stylepreneur Accelerator program. I’ve seen how tapping helps my participants move out of stuckness and into a place of motivation and clarity, where they can start implementing the 5-step success path to consistent income. It’s a powerful tool that allows them to get back on track faster, stay focused, and keep moving forward, no matter what challenges arise.
