I want, I want, I want and I can talk up a pretty good sales pitch for what i want. I get given opportunities all the time and then what? My anxiety kicks in when i run into a snag, or if the reality of the situation isn't what i expected or hoped for. Since November I have been working closely with this accountant that is a genuine saint as far as associates go. He has passed me tons of work, and passed out praise and recommended me to alot of people. Ok so he is gone for a months holiday and before he left he drops this client with 5 very messy companies in my lap. I am overwhelmed and so contemplate what to do and how to tackle the various problems and backlog of work. Thats how i do anything - little pieces at a time. The thing is that the client is constantly pressuring me to have things done and the understanding was that i could get this done in no time. I need the accountants advise but he is away, and the girl that did the work before never completed alot of what she claimed to have done. I have done a large part of the project but am uncomfortable putting it altogether until he returns and yet i'm thinking when he returns, I'll have this all wrapped up. He is back in another week or so.
This client is evasive, and very abrupt to the point of being rude with me. I had to assert myself with him (which felt sooo good because i did it well) and so we got off on the wrong foot which also inhibited my production. He has calmed his tone down but still is evasive.
I just am never sure what to do in situations like this and think i'm gunna blow it as usual. Any advise?
