Changing Mid Stream

By Abe Newmeyer, September 13, 2022

Work & BusinessProgress & Getting Better

During a conversation this morning with D.C., he chose to change our working agreement and payment arrangement. Among other things, he stated it didn’t work for him moving forward. I listened. I didn’t offer any resistance or push back. My main reason is our relationship.

I did explain some misconceptions he had about our current arrangement and how the industry works. I explained that I’d fallen short on fulfilling my part of our arrangement, banking mostly on our relationship. He’d admitted something similar.

Moving forward we both agreed to do a better job with each other. We both have room for improvement. There are some concessions I’m willing to make and other things are not negotiable.

Today, Tuesday, September 13, 2022, I am grateful that:

D.C. and I had a candid conversation. Not entirely sure how things will work moving forward, but happy to have had the dialogue.

Cousin Beverley and I got a chance to speak. She provided some great insights, as she typically does, and I’m happy we didn’t let another day go by without speaking.

Although it’s nearly midnight, I’m getting this list completed. I’ll probably have to modify my sleeping schedule as I begin prospecting more in the states, but for now it’s simply the disruption of my morning routine since football started.

Have you established clear procedures for doing business?

Do you follow your processes?

What happens when you don’t?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
