After more bureaucratic wrangling than you care to think about, efforts finally pay off. There’s something to smile about near January 29th.

A deadline has to be pushed back, but don’t worry. If anything, this solidifies prospects.

Your thinking is changing. Instead of placating others you discover how staying put gets them to back down. Something to consider moving forward.

Don’t be in such a hurry to pin someone down that you wind up forcing the very action you wanted to prevent. Persuasion, not pursuit, is the way to go.

You tend to think more theatrically than politically, but there’s a big difference. Building consensus yields more lasting results than thunderous applause.

Continue to let an opponent believe they have the upper hand. Their complacency combined with your ingenuity turns the tables.
