Not that you haven't already though of this or tried it, but I guess the point I'm getting at {and I get this from my husband because he is a salesman too} "A sale is a sale". Sometimes they are from the people we want them to be from, and sometimes they are from new people or people we haven't seen or heard from in ages, but a sale is a sale... If you've got some customers you want to hang onto, make a list and check it twice... but don't be so hard on yourself if some of those orders are not repeats... you never know when they might become one again. ;) In the mean time, just keep moving forward. ♥DancingMooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158390199317580345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-9004073796747749772012-01-06T09:12:07.083-05:002012-01-06T09:12:07.083-05:00It is only through careful tending that the vine b...It is only through careful tending that the vine becomes and stays in a way that produces the most beautiful results, as well. Rambling may be best from the vine's point of view but isn't always the best from the result's point of view, if the perfect rose is what you're after. I guess that makes some (underlined!) sense.<br /><br />That said, I like your last paragraph and I, too, still believe that it takes hard work, plowing through those open doors and pure drive to make it all work. Off to check on my 'inner work' and do some 'outer work' . . . <br /><br />Wonderful brain boosting post, Cat :: lynn<br /><br />ps : nobody tougher than a rodeo clown, srslylynn boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786375395402917408noreply@blogger.com
