Meet Ashley Bullock

Dont Choose Me Later

Growing up rejection is a part of the journey. Not everybody will agree with you or give you the opportunity you may want. Dealing with rejection may not be the easiest but you have to be stronger than your situation. Throughout life I’ve been rejected by people, coworker’s, relationship, friends, teachers and even strangers. I never let that stop me, I used it for motivation. No, it wasn’t always easy, but it was necessary. What made it necessary? I needed that extra push for motivation. Every person who rejected me, my idea or anything I had to offer watched me succeed. Those same people are now trying to be apart of my success.

Once I heard “Don’t Choose Me Later” I felt this is it! I took it, ran with it, and owned it. You’ve heard my story, What’s yours?

Think about it. If somebody reject anything pertaining to you don’t let that stop you. Tell them “ Don’t Choose Me Later” . My goal is to inspire everybody to not let rejection stop you from what you want or want to do. Believe in yourself and have faith, it will work out. Remain humble through it all. When you succeed don’t let the “ NaySayers” return. They had their chance.
