When It’s Time To Move On
How to be redeeming yourself after a decision you regret making.
I should’ve been more assertive. I should’ve been more confident in my decision.
No amount of relief from this project is truly worth it at this point.
These thoughts left a pit in my stomach this morning as I mulled over a conversation I had yesterday with a marketer who promised to edit my videos. I paid a steep (to me) price for their services and I’m saddled with the scenario that if I don’t earn enough to pay them next month, the videos I’ll be uploading will be a downgrade from the one that is currently being edited.
The only issue is that I gave them this video near the start of this month and all I’ve gotten were style checks and first drafts. This is despite filling out a form detailing what I want the video to look like.
The more my collaboration with them continues, the more regret I feel from making this decision. After all, their work style and work ethic is clashing with my own expectations.
This decision isn’t a major decision in my life, but we’ve no doubt experienced these kinds of decisions that we end up regretting later. It leaves us with a pit in our stomach and a feeling that we should turn around.
