Don't Settle for the First No - Call Them Again

Dear friends,

This email is to remind you that you don’t have to accept the first answer you get.

My morning today started with trying to contact my doctor. They wouldn’t pick up the phone. And because it’s something I have been struggling with for a while, I was finally at the end of my tether.

I just wanted the doctor to stop messing me about, so I did what every self respecting, over tired newborn mama would do.

I cried.

And to be honest I needed to cry. But something inside me rose up beyond the tears and said “call them again”. I could have given up and wallowed in pity (which, to be clear, was well deserved). But instead I picked up the phone and hit redial.

And they answered.

It reminded me of every single important moment in my life where I have chosen to “call them again”. Like the time when I needed to submit my internship application and the receptionist was mean to me. I called them again, got the job and am still there nearly 20 years later.

Sometimes you just need to call them again.

It doesn’t even matter if they don’t like you. I have turned around so many relationships where someone didn’t like me. Some of my best corporate clients HATED me at the beginning. It doesn’t matter.

Call them again.

There is always a second chance if you are willing to take it and if you want it bad enough.

With love,

Lola
