I had a great day yesterday.
Determined.
I arrived at my clients home and spoke with her for a moment. After exchanging a few words and instructions I got to work straight away. I sweat, I hurt my legs from bending a certain way and I busted my big american ass all morning long re-living the term "elbow grease".
After meeting with another new client yesterday evening - I got home and checked in with my email account. The client that I had earlier that morning had emailed me... Not once, Or twice - But THREE times.
1. "hey kara, can you call me THANKS"
2. "hey kara, the second bathroom wasn't done, could you fit it in sometime this week? THANKS"
3. "kara, i will no longer need your services i am unsatisfied with the cleaning".
My first reaction was "WHAT!? HOW COULD THIS BE!!!? RIGHT BEFORE I LEFT TODAY SHE ASKED ME TO COME BACK EVERY WEEK!!".
I worked all morning, and hard, to get a thorough cleaning done at her place in the allotted time and I even spent MORE than that.
This is a learning experience. You know - You win some, and You definitely will lose some...But the important thing is that I keep trying.
I have to remind myself, over and over again, That I did nothing wrong. Sometimes you cannot satisfy everyone. Even if you do bust your ass to clean house at a cheaper rate than every other cleaner in the county.
