"It wasn't pretty, but we pulled it off."
Too many years ago, in a hotel lobby bar, one of my early mentors Tom Dombroski said that to me loudly as he drained his 4th shot of Stolichnaya.
It was the end of our third day with almost no sleep. Earlier, we had delivered a sales record breaking promotion for a new client who ended the day saying, "Nice job, boys. Come in tomorrow and we'll talk about you handling all our business."
And Tom was right. It wasn't pretty. But we somehow pulled it off. And the client only saw the pretty stuff.
