Question from a subscriber: "Someone / a friend reached out to me, asking me if she could buy a house after she is divorced.?But she got mad at me when I told her probably not unless she gets $5 million but here’s the thing… she has no idea what her numbers are??She just wanted to just shoot (me) the messenger and I don’t want her as a client."??

Use difficult clients as an exercise in practicing the virtue of temperance.

?

Take these actions TODAY:

• Get a folder in your inbox called "Nasty" and transfer any unpleasant emails there. This way you won't see it. In a few months you can look back at the "Nasty Folder" and laugh at these emails.
• Do not engage with an excessively angry person, even if they provoke you. Hopefully they come to their senses when logic prevails eventually, but maybe not. Either way, it won't be your doing, so lay low until they calm down.
• If you can't resist the urge to respond like "OH YEAH WELL HOW ABOUT THIS YOU MORON??" you can go ahead and write it down on a piece of paper but don't email or say the words; just write it down and tear it up in a few days.
• There is a grain of truth is every criticism. For the sake of your own personal development, try not to blame the person. Ask yourself, "Could I possibly have handled this better, to have avoided causing their negative response?"
• Recognize they are getting upset because they feel lost and what they are saying to themselves inside is: "I'm so desperate and helpless, somebody please help me, what if nobody can fix this, am I doomed for life?"

Every interaction you have with a hothead is a strengthening of your temperance.
