Pit Stops Are OK

Yesterday I started the day very optimistic.

By about lunch I was really down about a lack of response to a email creative that isn’t fully tested.

Intellectually I know we are not done with the test and shouldn’t give up but I was annoyed.

What did I do?

Went to buy another business.

That is my go to because a new business has potential. I know intimately that the seller is running from something and it is a problem swap.

That said it’s more appealing than my current problems.

What happened today?

I filled out a few non-disclosure agreements (NDA’s) since Acquisition of another company is on my goals by end of 2020, but I got back to working on the creative, got feedback on the issues and working on another list.

It’s ok that I spent a few hours upset but like a punching bag, I came right back try again today.

It’s not easy but it’s the way to move a mountain, eat an elephant, or get a big project done… one small (sometimes boring) piece at a time.

What do you default to when you are frustrated?
