After working with a client for three months, things seemed promising—I was managing his agency’s social media. But in mid-July, he ghosted me and never paid the remaining invoice. No hard feelings, but that experience pushed me to reach out to one of my part-time clients and ask if he wanted to work together full-time. He agreed, and it’s turned out to be a great experience with better pay. That opportunity only revealed itself once I stepped back and looked honestly at my circumstances. Through affirmations and journaling, I was able to shift my perspective—and realize the golden opportunity I’d been overlooking was already right in front of me.
