That one Tuesday last fall when everything just clicked

I remember this one Tuesday back in October where we landed three new clients before lunch. We had been stuck in this rut for like two months, losing pitches left and right, and then out of nowhere everything lined up. One was a referral from a past client we'd done some web work for back in 2021, and the other two came through a LinkedIn post I wrote the night before while waiting for my kid's soccer practice to end. That same day, our biggest retainer client sent me a video message saying how much they appreciated the weekly reports we send out. I sat there in my truck eating a cold sandwich and just felt this weight lift off my shoulders... Has anyone else had a day where the dam just broke after a dry spell? What turned it around for you?

Keep it simple. Alice is overthinking a sandwich timeline that doesn't matter. The real point is finally catching a break after a long dry spell, not when the lunch break happened.

You got the timeline wrong there - you said you landed three new clients before lunch, then later mentioned sitting in your truck eating a cold sandwich. That doesn't add up unless you ate lunch at breakfast time. Most truckers I know don't sit down for lunch until at least noon, so it sounds like that weight lifted closer to afternoon than you think.
