Sometimes in business we make choices. We make them because it feels like the right choice at the time. Then when the choice is happening it feels so wrong that it messes with your mental reality of why you made that choice in the first place.
I had to remind myself of all the business sense that it makes to rather sell this printer. I remind myself it was broken, it cost to much to repair, this would be the 3rd print head in 5years, repair cost is a third of a new machine. It all still makes sense. But when it is loaded and paid for at a fraction of the cost that I invested into it. When it seems I did all that work and it feels like it was all a waste…. It hits hard.
Choices are never truly right or wrong in business. You just let the outcome come and you deal with it. In this case, it was a loss and tomorrow we get up and we go on. The next hurdle happens, time passes and we have to handle other obstacles. This too shall pass.
