Dilemma or Deal
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
What goes around comes around I guess. I was in place for a deal but at the last second the other party went another way. Now months later the way they went turned out to be bad and they are calling me up wanting me to set up the deal again. Now usually I don’t get to emotional about it but I never forget. In this case I was told that things would come my way if I set it up. So of course I set it up but Monday morning I called them up and they told me they went with someone else. I was disappointed but later chalked it up to the game.
Now my dilemma is trying to craft a deal that is even colder than the one before with guarantees of money whether this bitch changes their mind again. Part of me wants to say fvck em and let them die off. The calmer head says make money off this shit and still fvck em but don’t let them fvck you. So for now I’m falling back to marinate on the possibilities as I told them to give me a week to think it over and come back with something. I already made a decision but I need to think it all the way through to the end before I say what it is.
Truth of the matter is I REALLY REALLY don’t trust them. But, I’ve been part of deals before with the same level of devil and made money off of that shit. I’m just stacking and moving in this game and there really isn’t a downside for me as I’m fully protected. But, my spidey senses are saying they’re trying to play me for a fool but those same spidey senses sometimes are a scared bitch talking. So that’s why I have to marinate and get a clear head to the game so I can see what’s best.
Dilemma or Deal is the question. Can I get over the fact that they had me ready to make the move and then back out fvck up my chip chasing vision? Or will I say fvck it and concentrate only on the chips and push through the devil? Who knows!

In some situations you can have a cancellation fee as a clause in a contract right? They should be held responsible for a list of related expenses incured lol. It’s shady because its such short notice that they cancelled on the competition then tried to double back to your offer. Maybe they tried to con the other guy out of parts of the service or for a lower fee or something. I think you need a type of “insurance” that they won’t just quit once the ball gets rolling just because they “found” a better deal or some dumb shit…
When making his come back Muhammad Ali said “if the deal doesn’t feel right it isn’t”. They keep dangling a golden carrot and you fail to realize it is nothing more than a painted moldy stick. You need to let go and move on, every time I was in a situation like this I kept my head up and moved on, then like clock work a new deal came. I had spent time and energy on the one that wasn’t working not realizing the next one was waiting for that energy and then BAM! You need to let them know something else came up and move along, unless you NEED this particular money you are riding on nothing but ego. Trust me don’t focus on them and the next thing will fall in your lap like white on rice so quick you might not recognize it at first.
I think it just wasn’t meant to be. But at the same time I can understand being frustrated because, I know you but in a lot of hard work setting up the deal, getting everything organize and talking to the people in charge to make sure everyone is on the same page. And nothing is more frustrating than having that feeling that everything is good and the chips are coming and at the last minute its all bad. This reminds me of one of my favorite podcasts on the Rise & Grind and it is the “Lose Fast” podcast. (on page 13 in the podcast section) I think when you do everything your suppose to and things still don’t turn out the way you wanted it to, we naturally want to know “what went wrong?” and Why? And we fail to realize that somethings are not in are control even if you do everything we are suppose to thoroughly. And while the average person is trying to figure out what happen and why did it happen the next deal or opportunity comes up and their not ready for it. “Lose Fast” and get ready for the next one.
@Freeman Hey Freeman I got your book a couple of weeks ago and read it thoroughly. Very good book man. I realized their was a lot of shvt that I didn’t know and I appreciate the game man you really opened my eyes. I am a long time listener and I’m always listening your old/new podcast to keep my mind focused in the game. Keep doing what your doing Brah.
@Tony – I’m with you on the cancellation fee but this was a setup deal not a full reliance deal. So really they have every right to decide to do something else and I didn’t really lose any money I was just anticipating making more.
@TK – I’m with you as others have come and gone but this one wants to return. I am fvcking with it though and I’m going to let it go. Can’t try to setup business twice with a devil. So it’s gone and they are trying to bridge the gap more than setup something long term. I’m just going to let them and the deal die off.
@Ewess – True but it only gets to me because I never had it to lose but it still feels like I lost. But, I’m with you Lose Fast and I have but it’s lingering on the end of my desk right at the corner of my eye.
Glad you got the book and like the book! I don’t plan to stop just sometimes real life gets in the way of the consistency of the R&G but I’m back and building again.
