I sat down and wrote a worst-case scenario for the business deal I was stressed over. It was really close to what our original plan was.
I also got up and walked away for awhile. I paid attention to kids and refocused myself into what really matters to me.
I feel much better now.
I have been head down in business concerns for two days. I’ve spent a lot of time, energy, and effort trying to help a friend hammer out a business/bookkeeping plan. We hammered and worked and then presented it to the people it is supposed to benefit. They panicked. They didn’t understand it. They felt like we were trying to take over. Not what I wanted to have happen. This reaction means somehow we failed to present it correctly.
Things have calmed down now and people are starting to talk politely, but I’m still residually stressed. Can’t I just go back to being a mommy and not being partially responsible for a potentially lucrative financial future for two families?
