So last week I shared about a horrible experience with a website company – and how I would not be getting a new site for the time being.
I honestly wanted to curl up with a jar of peanut butter and watch Meg Ryan movies and mope about it all.
But instead of moping, I went looking for a solution.
Why?
Because if Emily came to me with something similar, I would have asked her if she wanted to just talk about it or fix it. And knowing Emily, she would have said fix it. (It is amazing how much I can learn from my 10 year old!)
So I pulled on a positive attitude and went in search for a solution. I reached out to friends that have used other companies, and came up with a handful of names.
A quick search of the www and I found what looked to be the most promising solution. It stood out from the crowd.
I started to fill out the form on their site, but then opted to just give them a call and get a feel for who was on the other end of the line rather than trying to do it through email.
After a 3o minute conversation (which I honestly thought would be a 10 min call) I knew in my gut that I had the solution. After saying that I would sleep on it and contact him in the morning, I got back to work. But you know when your gut is talking to you? Like screaming at you – not like bad chinese food, but like you are being pulled in a definite direction?
That was what was happening. I didn't know whether to trust it or not after my recent website experience.
But here is what I decided…
I would rather wake up the next morning with a solution rather than a problem. I knew what waking up with problems like this feels like, been doing that since June! And if you have never gone through website H-E-double-hockey-stick, then I am crazy jealous of you! I don't recommend it.
Website changes are scary! You don't want to lose all of your previous hard work, and you want to make sure that your new stuff works correctly – and if you don't speak fluent computer, it is a total trust issue. Having confidence that your person REALLY knows what they are doing.
I listened to my gut and went for waking up with a solution, picked the phone back up and called back to hire him.
I am thrilled that I did!
So this past week, we have been working on this solution, and I feel confident that you will see the results of that soon!
I have so many emails from many of you asking me how everything is going, and I thought it best to just update you and let you know that good things are happening! Thank you all that have been concerned about me, that is so sweet and touching! Mwah!!!
