A consultant called me yesterday with this question: A prospect called me out of the blue (hooray!) and what they need is exactly in my sweet spot and would be a decent size project (mid five-figures). They’ve told me they are also looking at other companies and hinted that they’ll want me to come in to meet with them and go through my approach.

To him, external events were beyond one's control and we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately.
