Ultimate Blogging Challenge 2016 Day 4
Today in the Ultimate Blogging Challenge 2016 Day 4 and we are on Day 4 and we are supposed to share about a mistake we made. And how we handled it. And here lately that is all it seems I have been doing is making mistakes. And trying to figure out how to fix them. And it isn’t only on the blog but in life itself and also Homeschooling Charlie.
And I have missed some deadlines as my dad was here staying and it is hard to work when he is here. As he has had a stroke and he gets upset easily. And if he wants something done he wants it done right now. Not 5 minutes from now. So I put life on hold it seemed.
And it affected my work and my relationship with my son. So know that my dad has returned home I have sat down with Charlie and let him know why it seemed he was being pushed aside. And I asked for forgiveness and have been spending more time with him one on one. And it has helped rebuild his trust and faith in me. And he doesn’t mind now if I have to say “NO” I am working right now as he knows I will make up for it later.
And as for work I emailed all of my clients and I explained to them that my father was here visiting and about his Stroke and how he acts. And I let them know that I was sorry I didn’t fulfill my obligations but I had to put my family first. And that I would catch up there reviews as soon as I could. And that I would make sure and give them extra exposure.
And through my honesty that all said they understood. And there was no hurry in getting the reviews done. And to take care of my family first. So since then I have gotten caught up and emailed them all back and sent them links to all the things I said I would do and they was overjoyed.
So if you make a mistake in work do not feel like you have to cover it up. Or that people will not understand because they will. As long as you are honest with them. And keep them in the loop more times than not they will use your services again. And even recommend you to others. Which is a great testimonial to you and the type of person you are.
So here is a snippet of the blog Post we received today. And I would like to ask you to read it and then answer the questions in the post.
For today, write a blog post about a mistake you made in the past. What did you learn? How did people react? Did you compensate for the error? Or maybe you simply let it be and did not make a fuss about it.
And I also would like to invite you to join us in this years Ultimate Blog Challenge Day 4 as there is still time to catch up. And even if you do not complete the challenge you will make some wonderful friends and learn so much. And if you are in the challenge leave me a link to your latest post so I can check it out.
