You hate bureaucracy, but follow instructions to the letter and you’ll get the prize you seek.
Sometimes you have to lower expectations. Don’t look at it as not being good enough. Look at it as improving your stretch.
Don’t take the first figure or bid that’s tossed your way. It’s tempting, but you can do better.
Prudence and integrity have never led you astray. Keep this in mind when you have to make the tough decision you know a superior or client can’t make.
Put the finishing touches on a pitch or proposal. This promises to do a lot to advance your interests and to raise your profile.
It’s time to jettison the stuff that doesn’t really matter. This allows you to direct your energies to where you want them to go.
