There’s lots of talk about what you can do to improve finances, but it’s a figment of others’ aspirations. Trust in what you’ve got in the works.

There’s no harm in entertaining alternative views. Even if you ultimately don’t agree, you’ll win points just by hearing people out.

You may be rushed, but pick your way through the wording of a contract or agreement. You don’t want to sign on to anything now that you might regret later.

A colleague asks if you really believe in the success of a project. If so, great; if not, speak up. This could be your out.

Not everything you do pays handsomely. Sometimes what you stand to gain is more along the lines of personal gratification than financial satisfaction

Pass means pass. Tell a colleague that just because you abstain from taking action right now doesn’t mean that you won’t one day.
