How Do You Deal with Stupid Challenges

There are good and bad days in life and business. I have no problem with that. We just have to deal with it.

What drives me mad is when technology doesn’t work the way it is supposed to.

Today, it is one of those days for me.

I cannot stand being stuck. I am always applying a proactive attitude and look for solutions. But there are certain issues that I cannot control. And it feels like banging my head against the wall.

Can you relate?

When you are following the instructions and doing the right steps, but it doesn’t work?

So, I am working on a project and it involves integrating stripe the payment gateway) with the online platform I am using to sell my product, and it doesn’t connect. Well, it does, but doesn’t work properly, when I am testing.

There are some things missing. And I cannot understand what they are.

URGH…

I tried contacting support on both platforms. But most of them operate on the American time zones ( I sent those emails at 7am UK time) so I have to wait now.

But I dont want to wait. I have my own deadlines… I need the solution.

I guess, it is time for me to swallow my own pill…
