I did not get a significant result. What now?

You report it. A non-significant result is a result, and a discussion that engages honestly with it, including power and effect size, is stronger than one that quietly reframes the question. Committees generally penalize the reframing far more than the null finding.

This comes up on Quantitative Data Analysis Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
