I’ve been gearing up for my grand reopening of Signature Worx for some time now. December 1 was supposed to be the launch date and I was so excited about it. But then life happened as life has a way of doing.
The copy was ready, the design was almost finalized and everything was looking good.
Then a nasty gastro bug invaded my home and I was tending to two sick little girls and their sick father for days, using every spare second I had to tend to client work.
So much for my big plan!
On December 1st I felt terrible, not only because I had spent over 6 hours the night before in the emergency room with my baby girl or the fact that I was coming down with it myself, but because I was sorry to have missed my big launch date.
But guess what?
Nobody died because my site hasn’t been launched yet!
Sometimes your plans will get foiled and it will be for reasons completely beyond your control.
When something like that happens to you, my best advice is to remember to keep things in perspective.
I’m re-launching a website and a new brand for my graphic design company. I’m not saving lives (not directly, anyway) so the worst thing that can happen is that it looks like I fell behind schedule.
Not exactly earth-shattering, is it?
What do you do when life gets in the way? Do you panic or ride the wave?
