The what now mindset is about choosing your next move when life doesn't go according to plan.

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. In this episode of BUILD IT, BABY!, Penelope Bent explores what that idea really means when the job disappears, a deal falls apart, someone says no, or the plans you had for your life suddenly change. A good attitude doesn't mean pretending everything is wonderful. It means recognizing that even when circumstances are difficult, you still have choices about what happens next.

Penelope shares stories from her decades in business, including a disappointing real estate decision that led to the perfect location for a successful clothing store. She explores how attitude shapes behavior, decisions, and outcomes, why we should be careful about turning temporary setbacks into permanent conclusions, and how our response to disappointment affects the people around us. She also shares a practical three-question attitude reset and answers a listener's question about leading a team without sacrificing mental health. Because you may not get to choose everything that happens to you, but you still have a tremendous amount of say in what you build from it.
