I Didn’t Get 3 Jobs Last Week and That’s Just Fine!

Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second

Everything is about perspective and what you make of it. Last week I found out that…

I didn’t sell a photo I’d taken • I didn’t get a PM Job • I didn’t get a Cribbage board contract

I most definitely wanted all three of these things and absolutely could use the money!…So why is it just fine?

Because each of things were outside my normal day to day stuff and frankly I was both happy and honored to be asked! And I didn’t lose any of them because of anything on my part!

I didn’t sell a photo, because someone’s relative provided one that would do the job. But dang – I as honored that someone came to me and wanted to buy one of my photographs

I didn’t get a PM job, because the person that recommended me was not the person hiring and the person hiring had someone else in mind. But dang – how awesome to get recommended to be a Production Manager by someone I met while driving transport on a commercial!

I didn’t get a Cribbage board wholesale contract, because the person that reached out to me was transferred to a different buyer and that buyer wanted to go a different way. But dang – stoked to get ask to be a supplier to one of the largest unique item purveyors on the planet!

Just wanted to share because I see too many people get down in the dumps over not getting things, but always remember that you got a shot, and if it didn’t come through, there are probably reasons that had very little to do with you.

Keep on keeping on!
