I am having some incredibly productive, constructive days where progress is made and movement occurs.

I have a client that completely deflated me this past week and it was like a punch in the stomach. Imagine performing beyond your wildest dreams – and the client’s – and the response is to take a 50% pay cut!

I would hate to see what happens when I bring them in 3x’s as much this year – which I am on track to perform. Stunning! Maybe they will cut me back to 25% of my fee!

I – of course – cannot accept this at this point.

So I am struggling. 2 others are talking to me about becoming clients.

I am considering either trading them out – or taking on the new clients as an offset.

The problem – the work load and what I will pull back on this year.

We’ll see.

My point – how can I celebrate my monumental successes when my client is not doing so?

For me, the Europe trip is the way – one way to do so.

I will take my time to go and reenergize and pay me for what I have done and celebrate what I was able to bring to the clients and their involvement in society.
