An employer or client claims the branches are stripped bare, but give that money tree another shake. You can still add to your bushel.
Just when you think you can’t cut back any more, you’re asked to make another sacrifice. Don’t argue. Do it. It really is the last time.
You reach the end of the road at work. Either you ask for a promotion or need to look elsewhere. See if you and a boss are on the same page.
You’d rather not adopt a tough love policy. Yet certain people who should know better are taking advantage. They need to be put in place.
Often criticized for vacillating, colleagues are amazed as you target an opportunity at work. You seize the day in a carpe diem sort of way.
There’s no shame in lowering your sights – especially when you overreached. Don’t push for everything at once. Just proceed incrementally.
