In your hurry to improve prospects you may be trading up too fast. The point is to get what you want without giving away what you already have.
Properly channeled anger makes for a terrific power source. Redirect yours from an “I’ve been wronged” lament to an “I’ll show them” resolve.
Opting to retreat isn’t cowardly. It’s prudent. Hopefully an embattled client or colleague will wise up and follow your lead.
Hurt feelings put everyone in a bad mood, which is why this isn’t the time to talk. Let things be for now and trust that your friendship will heal.
Be upfront about what went down recently because you’ve got nothing to hide. It’s other people who have to watch their backs.
This is the perfect time to call in favors, loans, and pledges. Wait any longer and their shelf life will expire.
