Guess what friends? I am actually away from my family. I am in the deep snow of Ohio. I am visiting a friend of mine and having a great time. I learned a really valuable lesson yesterday and thought I would share it with you.
My friend Eva is dealing with a situation where a buisness promised her something and then refused to honor the agreement. Now the way I usually handle situations like this is to burst into tears and become so hysterical that I can't think of anything to say and just accept whatever crap is thrown my way. The way Eva dealt with the situation was to very calmly, tell them that they were going to honor the agreement and if they didn't then she would have to take further action. She was polite, she was calm and she was confident. As soon as she got on the phone with these people she took charge.I'm not sure what is going to happen, but I am pretty sure that they are going to find a way to rectify the situation.(If they know what's good for them.)
The reason I thought it was important to share this with you is because most of you who read my blog are either writer friends or mommy friends. Either way, we are our own buisness. We have to stand up for ourselves, our words, our families. There will be times when we don't get the best deal or the outcome that we anticipate, so as buisness owners we are going to have to get out there and stand up for ourselves. I have filed this away in my mind and hope that when I am confronted with a similiar situation, I will have the confidence and spirit to handle it as well as my friend did. I hope this post inspires you to take no prisoners. I am woman, watch me kick-ass!!! Until next time.
