I've known this for a few months now, but I gotta tell this story just for anyone who doesn't know.

Back in February (fucking February!) I had a client who reached out to me asking for me to run a promo for them. Sure. No problem.

For context, I was going through chemo at this time. Constantly tired, no energy, etc.

The break from work had given me lots of time to work on my business though, so I asked if he'd be willing to test it out since I think he'd be a good fit. Sure he says, to which I say great.

I deliver his copy, and I also get to work on his AI caller. I sent an email asking for basic info (probably sent this email like 5 times in the span of 2-3 weeks). Eventually decided fuck it, guess that's that.

Come mid-late April, he emails me out of the blue, asks if I'd be interested in doing another run of copy. At this point I want to just write back "Fuck you" and hit send. But it occurs to me that this time I'll tell him "sure, but rather than pay me through cash, try the system for 30 days". He agrees.

But this mofo always seems to take a minimum of a week to schedule things with me, or cancels his appointments. It was only recently to my great relief he said it was okay if I booked appointments on his site. I was literally about to close him this week so I can finally be done chasing him all the time, everything is finished, but i open his site and he's away for the next 2 weeks.

I'm so done with this guy. anyway, that's my TED Talk.

Hey y'all, wish i'd thought to post here a looooooong time ago. I spontaneously got blessed with epilepsy just before I turned 17. I've relied on family, friends, and Uber to get me around ever since (I'm 29 now, I'll be 30 in September).

Thing is, my epilepsy isn't even that bad. If anything, it's gotten better over time. Most people assume I live a normal life. Come next month, I would've been on a 5 year no seizure streak had I not accidentally activated my triggers 2 years back (but on the flipside -- that experience did help me identify what actually activates my epilepsy).

Which brings me to where I am now. I'm sure as epileptics, a solid lot of us would love to drive. My neurologist won't sign off on it due to absent seizures. I've kinda grown to accept this, but part of me also wants to fight this since the longest my absent seizures last these days is like 2 seconds, and I know I'd be more than grateful to have the responsibility. There are people who drink and drive, people who text and drive, etc. I know being distracted in any capacity isn't good, but like could I really be any worse than any other driver? I highly doubt it.

TLDR: My epilepsy isn't that bad, my neurologist won't change her mind on signing me off, is there anything I can do about this?

I've had writer's block for months now. Like six months, probably more. And it's frustrating because I've actually had an eventful year so far.

But I'll pull up a Google Doc or my Notes app and my head just goes completely blank, even when I want to write something.

I'll start typing, and I just think "crap" and trash it. Idk what to do at this point, I'm actually really frustrated.

Any tips on how to get out of this?

Hey y'all, I've been working on my business for about a year now. In that time, a lot's happened -- I ran into some unexpected financial trouble, I had some health problems, etc.

So needless to say I was pretty fucking stoked when I could start doing outreach this month, and so far it sucks. I already knew it would due to a past career path, but after a week of zero responses I was over it, and handed the responsibility over to a freelancer.

Now here's the thing: one of the prospects was interested enough to setup an interview for 9 AM this morning. Of course I agreed, I was ecstatic to finally have a meeting with someone. Only they didn't show up. I called them after waiting for ten minutes and asked if we were still on for 9, and she asked if we could move the appointment to 10 instead. Fine, whatever.

10 rolls around. Again, doesn't show. At this point I'm frustrated but I also don't want to obsess over one client. Like is it the right move? I feel like it's so difficult to gain momentum when you're first starting out, no one wants to give you a chance, and part of me feels like I'm throwing an opportunity away, but part of me feels like moving on is the smart move, too.

wwyd?
