What defines success, anyway? For some people it's being able to afford the things they want. For others, it's having a successful career. And then there are those who find happiness in their relationships and in making a difference within their communities.

Being let down by someone you trust is never easy. Just because a rejection is temporary–or even not at all like the one in your book–doesn't mean that you don't still feel the sting of it. We've gathered 25+ powerful women to share their own experiences with being let down, turning it around and burning it up at work, and what they did about it.
