The newsletter service I’m with
(MailCh*mp)
is telling me
an error is on my side.
It isn’t.
But I can’t be bothered
to figure out
how to fix it for them.
Because I’m closing
my Romance Novel Business
in two years
and I won’t be working
with this partner
after that point.
I can work around
this error
for 23 more newsletters.
One of the upsides
of closing a business
is it forces us
to end bad partnerships.
We all have some of those.
Maybe it is a delivery service
that is always late.
Or a supplier
who gets one thing wrong
in every order.
Or a customer
who returns everything
he buys.
These partnership cost us money,
time, happiness.
Don’t wait
for your business to close
to end bad partnerships.
End them now.
