I learn from others mistakes or short commings.

It's 1pm and I'm waiting on my independent contractor/assistant to email me a important file. I've had to reschedule two meetings with perpective clients because a client is expecting a project completed today. This is the first time this assistant has worked on this type of project for me so as long as I get it today I will use him again. I just hope he sends it to me today.

I had planned to hire a permanate personal assistant but the office building that I'd planned to rent office space from changed the agreement after reassuring me our agreement was set. The office manager acted as if she had the final word but she didn't. Why do people do that? The time I spent buying furniture and interviewing an assistant could have been put to better use. But as a small business owner I should expect setbacks like this, right?



I learn from others when they let me down and it's a valualable lesson. I will have plan B the next time I have a project due and will set that due date for the assistant a day or two before mine. Also, I will follow my instincts so when someone tells me a agreement is good and I feel somethings now just right, I will furture investgate.

As a small business owner, once can't take to many set backs.
