The important thing is to take that first step.
Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you
the courage to take on the next.
By Buddhist Philosopher Daisaku Ikeda
*I want to be like the person who
Wednesday night I did a presentation/design job on a home
for an older newly married couple.
wears ‘LIFE’ life like a loose garment.
Lately my garment feels like a lined with lead full-body motorcycle suit.
I am grateful that my job isn't long distance swimming. Right?
Although....in this economy it is beginning to feel that way.
I do suit up and show up everyday for life.
I often have to ‘fake it’ - until I make it.
I mean I fake feeling happy ….until I do feel happy.
for an older newly married couple.
she said "it all happened too quickly."
So everything was put on hold. Of which I had to explain to my boss Laura.
I understand her feelings..........
and if I were still designing for myself at my own company,
I would have gone more slowly with them.
It does feel like rejection, and there is that one small detail....
I do have 'numbers' to make every month.
I did FINALLY get her to go online and view my portfolio, she was comforted.
She then said:"do it like one of these rooms."
I said "no problem,I design like that in my sleep."
But here is my point, people assume that
if the design service is free, it must be worthless.
Often ( and in this case), the fear is from having worked previously
with designers that screwed things up (furniture store designers)
And if you are a designer, you know how the wreckage
from BAD DESIGNERS on the public can affect your livelihood.
Right?
*the very real truth of this matter is that if I were working for myself.....
they couldn't afford me.
I could not sell them the same goods at the same discounted prices, much less do everything that I have done for them for no additional fees.
That includes measuring every inch of the interior of their home, and drawing it to scale.
In other words, making them a new blue print of their home for the purpose of the interior design.
...and no...i never let it out of my hands until the job is done.
...sometimes i wonder, "how will i ever get through these days?"
