Fortunes are on an upswing, but don’t forget those who helped out. A thank-you card or lunch date is the smartest investment you can make.
Don’t undersell yourself. If anything, be bold! What you interpret as a sign of rejection is actually a superior’s short attention span.
Tolerance is laudable, but too much leniency makes you an easy mark. Put self-preservation first today – even if it means being rude.
Something isn’t coming together in the way you expect. Instead of starting again, reverse what you’re doing. It may simply be inside out.
You don’t have to strong-arm anyone. You’re in the superior position. Ignore the challenge of confrontation and an opponent backs down.
A boss or client presumes a little too much with you. Gently bring expectations down to earth. You still have business to do together.
