My first mistake as a wholesaler/ business owner

So I started my direct mail marketing campaign the wrong way. Starting out i thought i would need a gimmick to get my phone ringing for potential deals. So i did something pretty risky without knowing the outcome.. And now I got what i asked for. My phone is ringing but not for the right reasons. What i did was send my mail piece priority mail in the priority envelopes and now i have absentee owners pissed calling me furious that they had to pay $5.25 to receive my mail piece. They threatened to call the business bureau and file a complaint on my business. I don't know whats going to happen next but im afraid that im gon find out. Smh

@Richard Francois

Don't worry.  Don't answer the phone for about a week.  It will all pass.  Get back on the horse no matter what happens with this little speed bump.

Make sure you stay on track to purchase your first investment.

If this is the biggest mistake you make this year, you will be very lucky.

There is no such thing as a great pro basket ball player who didn't get 4 fouls every game.
