Sometimes Putting It Off Is a Sign You Need to Call It Off 💡

Years ago, we were working on a business deal with someone who's fairly famous in our world. And this deal was on our project list, and my team was ready to move it forward. But for some reason, this deal wasn't progressing. Every day we'd look at it, but for whatever reason, it kept getting pushed to the back burner. And we started to feel guilty about it. We're like, "Oh my god, what the hell's wrong with us? Why aren't we making this happen? " Then, I got a phone call from the person that we were getting ready to work with, and everything made sense. There is this one small detail in our contract that they disagreed with, and they wildly overreacted. I'm talking anger and screaming and ranting and raving. I was like, "Wow, the public doesn't see this side of you, now do they? " Point is, they acted like a toddler having a meltdown. And that behavior told me everything I needed to know. Clearly, we were not meant to do business together. And thankfully, no contracts had been signed. In other words, procrastination saved us from this huge, expensive, painful mistake. Because sometimes putting it off is a sign that you need to call it off.
