Today I participated in a Holi festival; that's an Indian festival celebrating colours, love and spring.
I'd submitted an estimate for food about a month ago. 2 weeks ago, they said the estimate had been approved, but then last Friday , I decided to check and just pay them a visit. Hmmm - " we're happy to have you here but we haven't got any money left in our budget to pay you"
Oh-oh - typical, perhaps, Venezuelan situation. I decided to participate anyway, because it was an opportunity to make a few $$, one way or another.
Made some Indian snacks which I decided to give away, rather than sell, and take a load of chutneys, hot Indian pickles, curry powder and garam masala to sell.
1) Sold plenty. 2) Made some new contacts. 3) Had a great afternoon.
As Michael Caine once said "when you face a difficulty, turn it around to your advantage".
