Could not find that mood - irritated will have to do.
This is a behavior trait I do not like about myself. Received a email this morning with a client I have been working with for almost a year now.We are both in the business of helping children that are struggling in school. I have admired many things about this client but...now is backing out of some of things the client has agreed to do for over a year now. Things like that happen in business...but my reaction...I get so pissed off. We still have other business dealings but I will never feel the same about this client. I do not forgive well and have a hard time hiding my attitude. I'm hoping writing about it and getting it out will help some. Currently struggling for $ for myself and for the business as well. Much pressure and it's a career I love!

I understand your struggle with letting go of anger toward others. I think you'll do fine as long as you concentrate on why you are working with this person. Sounds like you have a job with a good purpose. Keep up the good work.

Its great that you have a career that is fulfilling.
Did your client say why they are backing out? Was their reasoning for this change acceptable if you were in a better mood? Are you able to talk to them about the situation? |

The client is unaware of our financial hardships. They may think it's no big deal. Money is only part of it. This client handled things poorly. I'm still not sure how I will handle it when I talk with them. Had a couple other individuals let me down today as well. I handle things differently. I am very honest - yet respectful if I have to tell some one bad news - I do not ignore it becasue it might be too hard to tell someone bad news. I'm always surprised others do not handle themselves in that manner yet I've had enough of these experiences to know better by now. Thanks for writing to me. One of my hopes while I'm getting support is continue to improve my reactions. If I can get my thoughts out in writing - I believe it will help me blow off some steam. Hope you are well today.

It sounds like you are much more professional in that relationship.
I would suggest, if you are going to address this with them, that you write out what you really want to say and that will hopefully get your frustrations out. But then edit it so that you maintain your professionalism. |
