Be happy

So now he is sold. Nr 454. We lost the opportunity to sell this fantastic horse and clients lost the opportunity to buy him. Naturally we want to sell all the quality horses there is, it is the most interesting for us personally and for our business. But for every client there are only so many candidates, and for us there are quite a few suitable to sell. This is the most frustrating situation. I am not going to say - hey - look at this fantastic horse - he is perfect for you - buy him - no, I will not. It is up to You to acknowledge the qualities of a horse, to see the match and make a decision. Why is sometimes so hard to make up ones mind. Is it is a matter of believing in oneself, to trust the gut feeling and make heart and head come together? I am definitely not saying - get impulsive head over heel - no, but I am saying - don't loose your opportunity when you see it. When you like what you see and you feel what you like, you go for it.
We once has a client that fell heavily, for a horse. Then he was sold. Client was beating herself up with why did I not buy this horse, he was my dream horse, he was MY horse. She bought 3 other dream horses from us. But they were not THE horse. So we relocated the now sold horse, convinced the owner he DID want to sell him and he was hers. This was a happy go lucky end, client got HER horse, however this is not the most straightforward way and not the most economical either..

First come first go. If you don't like, let go and move on to another horse here or there or elsewhere and see what he does for you. But if you do see your happiness in a horse - then go - and be first.
Congratulations, you made yourself happy.
