Episode 3: The Purpose with Purvis Show – Setbacks and Staying Focused
Sep 18, 2024Talking about Rejection, Focus & Future-Self Alignment...
In this episode of The Purpose with Purvis Show, we dive into a personal story about navigating a major business challenge: losing access to Jamie’s Facebook and Instagram accounts right before a significant masterclass launch.
Jamie and Jacklyn share how they turned this setback into an opportunity for business growth. They offer practical advice on protecting your business data from similar situations while maintaining focus on long-term goals.
Losing Access to 6,500 Connections
Imagine spending 14 years building a network of over 6,500 connections, only to lose it all in an instant. That’s what happened to Jamie just before an important business launch when his social media accounts were hacked. The timing couldn’t have been worse, and the loss felt paralyzing.
“In moments of chaos, you have two choices: give in to fear or find a way forward. We chose to move forward.” – Jamie
Jacklyn, always quick to look for a solution, stepped in to shift the focus.
“Every challenge is an opportunity waiting to be discovered. It’s not what happens to you, but how you choose to respond.” – Jacklyn
Business Lessons Learned: Own Your Data
One of the most important lessons from this experience was the realization that businesses must take ownership of their data. Relying solely on social media platforms can leave you vulnerable if things go wrong.
“Your business isn’t built on platforms—it’s built on the connections you nurture and the systems you control.” – Jamie
Jamie and Jacklyn also recommend regularly downloading your social media data, adding secondary admins to your accounts, and nurturing relationships offline.

Turning Rejection into Redirection: LinkedIn Growth
After losing access to Facebook and Instagram, Jamie and Jacklyn shifted their focus to LinkedIn—and they found a new opportunity for growth. LinkedIn offered a more focused, business-driven environment that aligned better with their goals.
“Rejection is simply redirection—leading you toward a path that aligns with your future self.” – Jacklyn
Jamie echoes this sentiment, sharing how quickly they were able to adapt.
“Sometimes, when you lose something, it’s the universe’s way of guiding you to something better. It’s not a loss, it’s a shift.” – Jamie
