Vacillating is not an option because you’ve already crossed the threshold. Commit. You’re in the game – whether you like it or not.
Things needn’t be all-or-nothing. Look for one or two points to agree on and you’ll avoid a standoff. This may even set you up for future gains.
Usually you take people at their word, but there are lots of variables at play these days. It’s a good idea to get agreements in writing.
It’s awkward asking others to sacrifice but you’ve already given up as much as you can. It’s their turn to step up to the plate.
It’s tempting to go with the flow but you know there’s something wrong and just can’t abide by it. Speak up today or forever hold your peace.
Expect a hiccup in proceedings just when you’re finalizing details. Continue unfazed. The other party will come to their senses and agree to your terms.
