Last week, my employee of one-month flaked out for the fourth time. It was the last straw. I gladly said sayonara (who needs that kind of “help”?), but it meant my whole week got really stressful. I was down a person, but I had to keep up with the regular work pace while also trying to find and interview a replacement.
Fortunately, two days later, I found someone amazing. So amazing, in fact, that ultimately I’m glad I went through all the unexpected stress and added craziness because the new situation is so much better!
Does any part of this scenario sound familiar? If it does, please tell us:
Have you had an unexpected pitfall in your business (or your life!) that turned into a better opportunity in the end?
(As so many entrepreneurs know, sometimes a pitfall -- like getting laid off -- leads to a life-changing decision to go it on their own. Here are some stories about why some of our community members made a professional “pivot.”)
