Been busy

I have not been keeping up here. I have been working on a Tinnitus project, 2 marketing projects, beer book (with the publisher for editing), wine articles, law of attraction articles, and a book on natural health.

This has kept me slammed packed. One of the issues that has come up is one I wanted to share. I have a client that I did not require a deposit from because they were highly recommended and top in their field.

I wish I had not done this because now, the project is at a standstill. I have no money from it, but plenty of billable hours. They really do not know what they want, and they do not communicate very often. Their line of work keeps them busy, but I am busy too.

So I had a dream about this and have learned to follow my gut and intuition:

I was online chatting with the client- I could talk and type. (we were on Skype). I told the client that they were too attached to the older version of the book (this job was to update the book). I told them that he needed to let it go.

He responded that the book was still selling a little. (trickle). I told the client fine, then allow me to create a brand new book with the most updated information available.

At this point a lot of other people got online in the chat and were all talking at once. I told him this was part of the problem as we could no longer communicate clearly. I told him that he needed to just allow me to create the new book and not listen to all of the other chatter. He agreed and the chattering stopped.

So I wrote him a letter today outlining my concerns, the need for a deposit and my thoughts on creating a new book for him. I have not heard back yet, so we will see.

Time to relax with some coffee and get typing!
