I had a difficult day in my consulting practice – I didn’t feel polished, didn’t look my typically professional self, struggled with the people (not all my issue) at a lunch meeting, and was fatigued from the top of the morning. Working for yourself isn’t perfect, but you clearly see where you have made – or missed – the mark. To that end, I could have done more and should have done more to make the day successful. One issue was defining the day early on as a C minus day. I did write a draft letter that was used immediately in 99% original form. I did host a solid conversation about employee evaluations and elevating people to higher heights. I did show up and keep trying even though the writing was on the wall for not my best day. My lesson – not just in working for yourself, but you have to be more inclined to see that glass has half full. I owe myself more and I know that my business and my practice is worth it – even if some days are process and not perfection.
