It has been months since I was active in blogging. Things were like roller coaster on my end for the past months.
I have been struggling with a client who hasn't paid us for the products we delivered to them August of last year. Just recently, they agreed to pay us but for 6 months. I was really exhausted in dealing with them because they were so unprofessional that speaking to the CEO doesn't seem to merit as an actual conversation and I was asked to write them letters regarding their settlement offers. This might be my last deal with one of my businesses simply because my partner, who was the main contact with that company, wasn't helping me and she keeps accepting rush orders that quality was sacrificed.
On my other business, our supposed to be marketing partner turned out to be all words but no action. He has potential but seems to be more focused on other stuff rather than our business. Personally, if he doesn't have the passion like me and my I.T. partner has, then he is out of the equation. We gave him a chance and it took him more than 2 months to simply set a meeting with one of his network. Currently, we got another marketing which graduated with an I.T. degree but markets and sells softwares. She is showing us a potential and she seems to be doing well in the effort department. However, her thinking isn't in tune with how we think. We are fast and weird thinkers which gives us certain innovations that are new in the market. Her selling ability is good but her marketing eye misses certain spots. I need to train her to think more like a marketer. Totality, she does seem to be doing good.
Next, is a friend I hang out with. She is okay and seems to be cool. Unfortunately, she flips and can blurt out hurtful words. The sad part about this is that she is a psychology graduate. It hurts more because she should be able to understand the situation. Adding to injury was when she told me that I should understand because I have a degree in psychology. The audacity... the audacity... Anyway, I just did not reply to her text messages whenever she flips. Just recently, we were supposed to meet up unfortunately, I was sick and needed rest. The next day, I attended a baptism of my close friend's daughter. She found out that I was there and got mad. First of all, she is not my girlfriend to have the right to get mad. Secondly, it was my close friend's first born child. Even if I am dying, I will be there for my close friends. She took it that I am making excuses. But for some weird reason, she would be nice to me all of a sudden then be a bitch the next minute. I am in a stressful situation now and I do not need another source of stress. I can easily look for a source of stress anytime.
In general, things aren't going my way. It seems that I am really in a flat tire to my dreams. I am facing another phase in my life where I question everything.
On the lighter side of life, it seems that our IT company is closing a deal soon. It was a real challenge when we gambled and tried new unorthodox tactics to get meetings. Since we will be closing on a deal, the catch is that we are stressed by fixing requirements and polishing details on our agreement.
