Jacob, I know several of the players in the recent online drama that I believe spawned this post. I'm glad to see you lay this out as you have. Venting and even a brief wallow can provide a much-needed outlet for frustration, but at the end of the day, there is how things are and how you would like them to be. If you can't navigate how things are, you'll never get the opportunity to mold them into how you'd like them to be. Vent to friends and family in private, shake it off, change course if what you're doing doesn't work, and keep after it.

Appreciate you taking a moment to acknowledge my perspective. The drama that spawned this post only strengthened my position—and several others who privately supported me through DMs and calls.

Thanks for a good read. So, do we avoid communities such as Pavilion, or simply skip on the pity party discussions when found?

I’ll let you be the judge — though if you have to ask, you may already know the answer.

Very well delivered. Truth and brutal.

It's a sales process - be a closer - you only have to close ONE deal.

As I mentioned in one of my earlier notes:

Every challenge is an opportunity to win more. The only thing separates is - how hungry (driven) you are..
