In just over a year, my reputation in the industry had
been all but forgotten, and the contacts that I had built
up over many years had either moved on, or had given up
on me and avoided me.
I have been going through a very difficult
time for quite a while now, and many times I have felt
that things were never going to improve.
But, because I love myself, I refused
to give up, and although it was extremely difficult at
times, I did not stop believing that I was qualified and
competent enough to succeed.
And I did not stop pursuing opportunities.
During that time, in the face of countless
rejections, I often got extremely annoyed with those close
to me, when, in trying to comfort me, they said things
like ‘Everything happens for a reason’ and
‘It was not meant to be.’
Well, yesterday I had two follow-up meetings.
Neither of the parties had ever worked with me, so my
reputation meant nothing to them.
But, my expertise and confidence was evident
enough for the one party to open the door and invited
me in.
This is one of the most established venues in Cape Town,
and potentially the most lucrative entertainment contract
in Cape Town.
The other party, a very exciting but struggling
new venue, liked my pitch and has invited me to submit
a detailed proposal.
I am grateful and proud of myself.
Cape Town can look forward to some fresh,
classy and exciting parties and events in the very near
future!
Live the Yummie Lifestyle.
I am worth it!
