Has something like this ever happen to you? Where you feel like you have more losses than wins in your life? Like the obstacles are never ending…
When you cross one barrier, 2 more appear!
Well, yesterday was one of those days for me.
I guess it’s not really THAT big a deal.
Here’s what happened.
Yesterday the wife and I dropped off our 2008 Ford Escape for some routine maintenance.
Only wanted to flush the transmission and cooling system, plus get a new engine drive belt.
The dealer has a video inspection service where they show what they have completed.
It also shows if there are any more issues that need to be addressed.
Of course it showed the left and right side lower control arm bushings were so bad that it was determined to be unsafe.
The service advisor made me aware that it had to get it properly fixed.
This ever happen to you…
Then I get another call from the dealership as more issues develop
It seems the parts needed for repairs took a awhile to arrive at the dealership.
Was I frustrated as the troubles mounted?
Sure.
Who wouldn’t be, right?
But on my lunch hour, I was thinking about it.
And I thought…
Hey, shit happens!
I can spend all my time and energy being mad about it.
Or I can put on a smile.
And just deal with it. Fix the problem.
Because look at the end of the day…
It doesn’t matter how mad or frustrated I get.
This ever happen to you?
What happened, happened. There’s no changing it.
Just gotta deal with it and fix it.
Now you’re gonna encounter these types of situations in your business too.
Might be that an ad campaign flops and you lose some money.
Maybe Google penalized your website.
What if the affiliate program you’re promoting went out of business and now you have to change all your sales funnels.
Whatever it is, there is ALWAYS a solution.
You just gotta find it. And you gotta DO IT.
Easier said than done.
BELIEVE ME!
This is frustrating at times. That’s a guarantee.
But when this happens, just do a mental mind check.
In other words…
Take a few deep breaths and think about the situation logically.
There’s always a way.
So I hope this blog post is gonna to help or value to you, but I was thinking of you as I started to calm down.
Hopefully you did get some value and insight.
Let’s buckle up and get some stuff done!
