I am just going to throw in an example of something that happened last night,
in regards to, some things are just beyond your control..
communication is key!
I had went to grocery store 90 min before set apt time,
I do have a young one so I am a bit of a multi tasker.
I get back into my car with an hour to spare,
I turn the key and my battery is dead!!
The first thing I do is text my client and let him know the situation,
and I may be running a little behind, and I will keep him updated.
He says no problem and thanks me for letting him know.
Now I get my car jumped,
run home and make some finishing touches to myself..lol
the whole time we are texting play for play.
I get back into my car and of course,
need to be jumped again just to make it to my IC location.
So I get there and about 10-15 behind,
but with great surprise, he was so sweet and understanding.
As a matter of fact, kind of happy because he was rushing himself to make it on time and was good for him to stop and relax a minute before meeting.
Now I can't say it works out this way all the time , because timing is everything.
If I know I will be running behind by more than ten min I will make sure the other client has timeframe open or I have either rescheduled or offered a discount for their troubles.
It does not happen very often, but it does happen with everyone.
I try my best to be on time, but things happen!
Needless to say, he did have to give me a jump just to make it back home..lol.
So on my TDL list this morning... New Battery! lol
I just wanted to write this because I appreciate those who understand and are patient with us ladies. A lot of us mean well and really do try to be on time.
If we are running late, most of the time it is with a good reason.
