How to overcome the disappointment?

Work Harder and Win Big

I take it real hard when someone returns my item back. Well, Disappointment just hits me in the face. I understand if the buyer did not like the product. However, sometimes, I just get slightly disappointed.

Well, I asked myself how do I overcome this disappointment?

1. There is always room for improvement. Well, I am still new at this and due to my full-time job, I can't spend my days sewing or drafting. However, I will try to fork out time to do the things I love.

2. Mistakes are a way of learning. Of course, too many mistakes is no go. However, it is a way of making myself better. When comes to myself or the things I do, I do learn from my mistakes. Usually, I need to make a mistake to learn from it. I don't like it but I always tend to have a small mistake somehow, somewhere. Well, I am trying to get rid of that bad habit!

3. Practice, Practice, Practice! To be better and finish my product nicely, I always try to do a mock up first. To prevent any mistakes on actual product. I started to do it only recently because I find it useful. Therefore, I will buy cheap fabric like $1.50 per metre to just do mock-up. Sometimes, I will reuse the fabric.

4. Admit that the products I created was not up to standard. I don't know if people find it easy to admit their mistake but to me, I do. It takes me awhile to change my attitude on learning.

5. You cannot satisfy everyone. As a designer, I do understand beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. We can't please everyone completely. Sometimes, people don't like the things you do. I will do my best to fit everyone's views and opinions but I still want to put a part of me in the things I do.
