You Can't Lose If You Don't Give Up What if failure is just the universe’s way of setting you up for a legendary comeback? Ask yourself this: Are you sitting on an idea the world isn’t ready to see yet? Staring at a project that’s not gaining traction yet? Facing rejection that stings right now? Let these stories sink in: Airbnb: → Rejected by 7 investors. → Drowning in 40K debt. → Today: 90B+ valuation. Disney: → Walt was fired for “lacking imagination.” → Built a $180B magic empire. J.K. Rowling: → Harry Potter rejected by 12 publishers. → Became a $25B franchise. KFC: → Colonel Sanders pitched his recipe 1,009 times before hearing “YES.” → Now: 25,000+ locations. Alibaba: → Jack Ma rejected from 30 jobs, including KFC. → Now: Revolutionized e-commerce in China. Pinterest: → Stuck at <10K users for 2 years. → Today: 450M+ active users. Here’s the truth: Success isn’t about avoiding failure. It’s about refusing to let failure avoid you. 📌 The moment you feel like quitting is the moment the game changes. 📌 Every “no” is a step closer to a “YES” that changes everything. 📌 Your biggest setback could be the prologue to your greatest win. Keep. Going. The world’s greatest success stories weren’t written by geniuses or prodigies. They were written by people who out-stubborned their doubts. 🔥 Your turn: ➕ Tag someone who needs this reminder. 💬 Drop a 🚀 in the comments if you’ve ever turned a “no” into fuel. PS: The only way to lose is to stop playing. Don’t. ♻️ Definitely 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 if you liked this post. 🔔 Follow Yaser Abbass for more insights.

Absolutely! Every “no” is just one step closer to the right “yes.” It’s all about staying persistent and believing in your vision.

This is the kind of reminder we all need! Every setback is just part of the journey, and persistence is what separates success from failure. The biggest wins come from those who refuse to quit.

Rejection is redirection, though it takes alot to realise it. And it's hard on somedays, and "easier" on some💙
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks?

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
