You nail the interview. Send the perfect follow-up. Then... ghost city. Budget freeze.
Sound familiar? You're using the wrong scoreboard.

Excellent as always. Repeat.

Thanks for putting this lesson together, Jon. I will definitely apply the approach going forward. Even with the 90 seconds practice, I could feel a relief and a way to manage the ruminations. I simply loved. ❤ 💙 💜
