Look on grunt work as an investment in the future. Once you’re indispensable, you can turn the tables.
You hear from someone out of the blue. This person bumped into a mutual acquaintance who was curious about you. It pays to be curious back.
Make time for someone who asks to see you today. Yes, this person doesn’t have an appointment, but what’s divulged could save you a lot of trouble.
Careful. Willingness to do what it takes has become an invitation for cohorts to foist their obligations on you. Don’t fall for it.
A slight inconvenience for you would benefit someone else tremendously. Make the small sacrifice. You’ll be doing this person a world of good.
That debacle isn’t quite the disaster you imagined. In fact most of it’s salvageable. A couple of readjustments is all it takes.
