You need to ask yourself if you really want what you’re striving for – and be honest about your motives.
You know you’re right, but you also know your friend too well to argue. Do things her way and she’ll run into that dead-end eventually. Maybe then she’ll listen.
What looks like an exercise in futility is still worth pursuing. Even if you’re rejected, things are in place for a successful second bid.
You’re tired of people being involved in your business, but you needed a helping hand. Things change when you can stand on your own.
You gave a venture your best shot and it just isn’t going anywhere. Dump it because something more profitable is headed your way.
What began as a harsh judgment or penalty is greatly reduced. Breathe a sigh of relief. The result is something you can live with.
