I found out yesterday that a contract I had been working on was denied (for now!). When I heard the news my heart fell in to my stomach. I got real hot...and I let myself fall into a bad mood. I went to bed thinking...and then woke up thinking...and as I worked out the next morning in the pitch black, I continued to think... and then I realized..."well who the hell did they go with?!". So I started researching...and I figured it out...and then I started laughing. They made a horrible decision. Now even though their decision was not yes today...I guarantee I will get it soon. Which brings me to a couple points that I discovered amidst this bumpy ride:
1. Try to stay relatively even keeled. Its OK to have emotion but don't find yourself on either end of the spectrum.
2. Information is power. If I had done my research in the beginning I could of used my competitor to my advantage...but I didn't. I was riding high because of who we are and did not prepare as much as I should have.
3. Combine the first two and then react...if you are informed and even keeled...you are going to make great decisions 99% of the time. If you are not...you wont.
