Hey! it's only a job!

Yesterday, I witnessed one of my "corporate" salespersons break out into tears. Being the compassionate person I am, I approached her and inquired what was the problem. After composing herself, she began to tell me of her problems with a potential new client. This client wanted some pretty strange requests. Things like wanting monthly meetings in person to go with the performance reports, a tour of our corporate office (a big 700 square feet!) and detailed reports of how we fund our operation. Now instead of telling these people to piss off, she wanted to work with them to get the business. Make sense to me. But, that kind of stress is not necessary. At the end of the day, it is just a job. Crying, hair pulling, screaming, gnashing of teeth is not the best way to go about daily business. Don't shorten your life over a few bucks!

You are far more productive if you let the bullcrap go and focus on the issues you can either control or deeply influence.

Just go home, have a beer, take a nap and be ready to work some more tomorrow!
