Olympic swimmer starts prayer journal business after 130 job rejections
Stephanie Rice applied for over 130 jobs and lost all of them. Now she is starting her own prayer journal business.
The three-time Olympic gold medallist was offered a director role. It would have led to a CEO job within months.
But she quit before she started. She believed God had other plans for her.
Over eight months, she applied to more than 130 jobs. She made it to the final stage five times.
She lost all five. After her latest rejection, Rice saw it as a sign.
She decided to pursue a business idea she believes God gave her six months ago. The venture is a prayer or manifestation journal.
Rice is now legally Stephanie Lassey after marrying a pastor. She moved to Dubai in 2023.
She recently started sharing on social media again. She left behind 140,000 followers to share her faith journey.
