You've got to be a certain type of person to get on as a freelance. To work alone - with no colleagues or work-mates, no water-cooler moments, no slap on the back, no after-work drinks - can get to you if you let it, so the smallest thing can make all the difference to your day. My day started today with a cheque in the post. Not a big amount- just a few bob from a local business for a few PR shots I did for them recently, but written on the comp slip enclosed was the word "Fantastic.." And it was! It was bloody fantastic just to get that little nod of approval, that thumbs up, that little bit of feedback to send you on your way smiling...
Yesterday Lesley and I went for Sunday lunch to a place we've never been before. When we got to the bar the one girl that was serving was already busy. Instead of just carrying on as we arrived she looked up, smiled and said "I'll be with in one moment.." That one sentence meant we'll definitely be going back to that pub. Well that, and the fact that the roast beef was bloody delicious!..
Being noticed, getting noticed ... fantastic!
