How did you reach outside your comfort zone this week?
I fired one of my reps. Moments ago. I'm tired -- 7 hours sleep last night -- and cranky and grateful for both because ending this relationship has been a longtime whisper of my Wise Inner Voice. Two reasons:
- Her accounts (stores) always pay late. Always. That's a form of dishonesty and disrespect, and I'm getting ruthless about being true to my business practices. Late payments are unacceptable. Period. I've allowed it to happen too many times. No more. I won't do business with companies who can't or won't pay on time, or reps who allow it to happen.
- Gut feeling. My Wise Inner Voice said over and over again, "This relationship isn't right." And y'know what? No further explanation or rationalization is required. My job is to nurture, protect, tend and take action on behalf of zena moon, and that Wise Inner Voice o' mine has never once steered me wrong. Ever. The more I listen, the less I question, the more decisively I heed and act, the better. Without fail.
May we all listen well this coming week.
