Seeking Perfection by Carrie Glenn

Been writing like crazy for several days, trying to get all jobs done before a trip to NYC with my amazing daughter and awesome granddaughter.

But it's not enough to write. Or even write well. Keeping clients happy is critical and even though I've gotten several 5-Star reviews, I am now sitting with a lump in my throat and fight to keep the tears from stinging as I open my latest review to see 4.7.

What's the big deal?

Now this may not seem like a big deal to most, but when you're building, even .3 points off can negatively affect you. It brings down your rankings on the site. It looks like you didn't give enough. It hurts your reputation. 

Especially when you turn the work in early so that you can get it perfect.

Especially when you re-write the job because the client doesn't give you all the necessary information.

Especially when you put your heart and soul into every word you write.

That's the heart of it. Every piece of copy I write is a piece of me. I take it seriously and often feel like I'm selling my soul. Ridiculous, I know. And it's just feelings that don't mean anything. But it does sometimes feel that way.

What to do?

Know that your best clients will always love your work and value you. Focus on them and move forward.

Thanks for reading,
Carrie
