Well That Took a Turn

When working with other creatives or vendors, things don't always go as expected.

So what can you do?

  • Follow up communication. Try reaching out in multiple ways if you aren't getting timely responses.
  • Cut some slack. We all experience a bit of unpredictability from time to time.
  • Weigh your options. How might you think about responding to get a resolution? Take some time before reacting.
  • Make a decision. Move forward and try not to second guess yourself. Make the best decision with the information you have.
  • Revisit in the future. This is optional, but if you choose to revisit make sure there is time for the situation to improve.
  • Set boundaries and thresholds. Know when to walk away. Start small and pay attention during the process.


    • Sometimes things will be resolved, sometimes they won't.

    But don't let a bad experience ruin your character or principles.
