Nothing like a time crunch to really motivate you to sprint home.
I had a big business meeting today with a food company and I had told all involved not to be late.
Murphy's Law meant I was going to be late... right?! Almost but not quite.
At 11:35am I was packing up my gear at the boxing club when Skittles texted me, asking me if I was going home before my meeting. Confused, I texted him back "of course!!!" In a few exchanges of text messages, I then realized my whole schedule was off. I had to LEAVE my house at 12:30pm to be at my 2pm meeting on time, not GET TO my house at 12:30pm.
I had 55 minutes to get home, shower, eat, and jump in a Grab car.
...and then I ran into one of my investors outside of my boxing club.
Had a quick chat, told him my silly mistake with my timing, and then excused myself so I could sprint home.
Got home, showered, ate, and jumped in a Grab car... time check, 12:35pm. Sweet!!!
I had a pretty important business meeting today with a company I rather not name, about a serious issue I can't really tell you about... sorry, I'm not sorry. A situation happened about two weeks ago regarding them and one of my clients, a pretty important client, too. And what was a simple, unintentional mistake turned almost fatal and I almost took legal action against them. It was pretty crazy but we met today to try to collectively figure out a situation because mistakes happen, after all we are all humans, so it's important we take this as a learning lesson and move forward with it. I feel quite satisfied with having brought Empowered to sit down with them because I think it helped to better the relationship between the two businesses. I know this can only make them better. It was a hard lesson to have experienced but I think both sides can grow from this.
There is always good in bad; it's the whole ying-yang idea.
