Being a friend to everybody could lead to being a friend to no one. People need to know which side you’re on. Choose before you lose.
Don’t play the martyr. Stand up for what you believe and others realize it’s your presence (not your victimization) that makes you a force to be reckoned with.
Don’t be so accommodating today. Say you’re otherwise engaged. People are looking to pass thankless tasks on to you.
Avoid big commitments now. The playing field looks quite different in a couple of weeks with bases loaded in your favor.
You think you’re making sense, but when people scratch their heads it means they don’t follow you. Slow down and use simple words.
Don’t give in to insecurities – especially when an opponent is trying to exploit them. Keep your eyes on the prize and you won’t fail.
