I would maybe ask the person sending these emails (if through the meditator or not) if there was a particular instance that they were upset about that you could resolve - did they have too much to drink maybe and tromped through  her flower garden, were they excessively loud and kept her young children awake etc. - is there a resolvable issue you can fix to appease her until you get these last bookings through? 

It was a wake-up call.

I literally listen as long as I am awake.

The collapse of the Florida condo should be a wake up call.

The reason why is that the potential upside of income as the years go by will be about 20 to 30% more than the technician path, and the even bigger reason to do so is that project managers don't get texted awake at 2 a.m. to address a server alert. 

Messing up my plumbing was a wake up call for me and did not lead me to say plumbing or crescent wrenches don't work. 

Kind of like when you know something exciting is going to happen tomorrow, it's hard to get any sleep - REI legitimately gets me excited, I use that time lying awake in anticipation (or soemtimes worry) to read and listen to books/podcasts, research markets, browse the forums, and otherwise prepare myself.

I was fortunate to find this site a few months ago and have been assimilating the abundance of information and admit, I’m guilty of the podcasts playing almost all hours I’m awake!

The kind of people you're talking about are bright and awake.

I use a 'waking away amount' eg on one property-replacement cost 2 mil-paid 650 3 yrs ago now generating 130k gross annual income so I have it insured for 1 million + 12 mo income loss at which point I would 'walk away'.
