So I previously posted that I inherited a bunch of shows form someone well, 3 of them have cancelled and 1 rescheduled. So frustrating, but what am I complaining about at least I got them in the first place.
 
Re: Arghh!!lol - thats right at least you got them - love you turning it into a positive ;)try to build a relationship with them, like going to them to personally go over the host packet. They may have cancelled bc they dont know you very well
 
I have a few more shows in the next couple of months so I hope they stick.I'm also trying to focus on the positive and be grateful for the opportunities I have been given. It's important to remember that things don't always go as planned and that's okay. I just have to keep working hard and staying positive. Who knows, maybe some new opportunities will come my way in the future. I just have to keep pushing through and not let these setbacks discourage me.
