My Mistake

Do you know what is a hard pill to swallow? When you mess up! And by “you”, I mean “me”.

It’s been drifting across my mind to message a client for well over a week now. Honestly, I think it has been multiple weeks. I could write all the reasons why I didn’t. All the things of life that were happening. I didn’t want to bother them with what they were working on. And, just all the “things”. But the truth is that it was just one message that I didn’t send. And, well, it probably cost me some business. Maybe I wasn’t going to get the business anyway. Maybe I could have. All the crappy “what-if’s”, right?

So, I let myself whine for a little bit. I let myself complain for a little bit. The hubster wanted to jump in and blame people. But, it was me. I didn’t check in with them. I didn’t update them. It was all me.

Tonight I am thankful that after the moments of whining and the moments of complaining; I decided to take some moments to recap what I could have done better. The most I can do at this point is learn from this so nothing is wasted. I wished them well and came back here to my laptop to work my butt off on existing clients and potential clients for several more hours. I won’t make the same mistake again.
