It’s hard to not let some things get you down.
Sometimes, as hard as you might try, things won’t go your way.
An actual example of something that happened to me today:
Followed up with a client and was told they had gone a different route.
Would have been a significant job and went through some effort over the past two weeks to visit site, follow-up, submit estimates, provide samples, etc.
Client was ready to pull the trigger but I couldn’t deliver within their timeframe (next day).
Client was noticeably bothered and went elsewhere. I tried to salvage the situation but at the end it didn’t work out and got confirmation this AM.
Not going to lie, it bothers me and I get in my own head about what I could have done differently.
Sometimes things don’t go your way. It’s okay to get frustrated and be bummed out for a bit but you can’t let it ruin your day.
What helps me is thinking about all the positive things I have and other projects I’m working.
I force myself the best I can out of that state. Music helps, calling a friend or family member that cheers you ups, play a game, listen to comedy, writing, anything to get you out of the negative mindset.
That’s what I’m doing now, writing this to help others and future me get over the gloom.
