It's hard some mornings to keep plugging along; certainly I'm not the only one that feels that way. Coffee helps most mornings, but the cycle we are in right now with recruiting is difficult. Triple Crown being "postponed" (basically cancelled in terms of how it fits in with recruiting) was a huge hit, in my opinion, and it certainly doesn't put a positive spin on what is trending moving forward. As I'm working with my clients I often feel like we hit walls, detours, speed bumps...potential offers fall through, lists can get smaller and a favorite school through the process picks someone else. Those are mirrored though by commitments, offers and dream schools responding to an email or text. I'm very much Belichick, in that I'm "on to next week" and whatever needs to happen next. I'll be excited about clients committing or getting an offer, but then it's "who is next?!" and I'm back on my computer sending out more emails or making more phone calls.
One foot in front of the other...
