I just got fired..

Hey Anon.

So this week was pretty rough for me (past couple of weeks actually)

I had a ton of personal stuff going on that took a toll on my health & almost forced me to quit my caffeine intake.

And because of that (& frankly a ton of other stuff which’d be too long for this email), I was lousy at client work.

So much so that one of my clients (agency actually) fired me because my writing was really bad & didn’t take his feedback seriously.

And he was right too, I had so much going on I barely had the time to go through his feedback, which cost me this job btw.

When he said he wanted to RESPECTFULLY fire me, I felt like a strong gut punch. I panicked, and reached out to a few unhealthy warm leads just because I have bills to pay.

But I sat with the discomfort of getting fired for a while.

After a few hours, I realized I was just overreacting.

And instantly regretted my decision of reaching out to those warm leads when in reality I should’ve focused on upskilling myself (email copy FTW)

I eventually did that though.

Planned the week with 80% focus on email copy stuff like sending DMs everyday, reading copy books, writing emails, creating a work samples portfolio etc.

And that’s when I realized the importance of mindfullness, patience and reframing your situation.

When I got fired, I just needed some patience to think through the situation & reframe the situation positively. Could’ve saved me a ton of anxiety and regrets of telling people that actually I don’t need the job atm.

So my friends, the lesson for today is that when you’re panic stricken, sit with that panic for a while.

Think through it patiently and reframe it in your favour.

Your mind will thank you for it.

So that’s it for today.

I will see you next time.

Cheers muchachos.
