Belt-tightening is fine, but don’t cut off circulation. Budgets, like jeans, should fit comfortably. You still need to live in them.
A major step forward turns into a series of small maneuvers. Don’t belittle them. They’ll still add up to a breakthrough.
You’ve proven your reliability and now it’s time for superiors to prove theirs. Hold back on what you give. No one pays extra for what they get free.
It’s someone else’s turn to make the first move so give this person a chance to do it. You won’t be sorry.
You’re one of those people who always gives 110%, so playing it safe isn’t your style. It could even backfire. Nothing less than your personal best will do.
It’s not easy postponing instant gratification but what you get in the long run will be infinitely more fulfilling.
