It’s not good when you correct loved ones on how they should be talking to you. They have something to say and you need to listen to it.
Don’t speak out of turn. It’s hard for a loved one or friend to be this candid and you need to let her say what she needs to say.
You can’t expect to make changes without rearranging priorities first. Go ahead and give it a shot. It’s not as painful as it looks.
It’s easy to blame the curmudgeon in the room. This person’s a downer, but they didn’t make things go awry. That would be somebody else.
Why tolerate a delay when you’re close to closing a deal? Because you don’t want to force a fit. A last minute wrinkle works to your benefit.
You gave your word, but honoring it could cost. Sit down and explain the situation to interested parties. It may take a few tries.
