You’re a straight shooter right now, but the person you’re dealing with may be trapped in their head and overly reliant on logic. Don’t let this drive you into a battle of wills. Try instead to get some clarity before discussing any details. If you choose to explain your perspective and your communication style and ask them to do the same beforehand, that alone might defuse the possibility of a struggle.

Make an effort to connect with more people as opposed to being aloof. Though it might not be your nature to reveal your innermost thoughts, a happy demeanor makes you more approachable. Show your friendly side.

Tackling a new project is a great idea at this time, especially if you’re working in tandem with your partner. Make sure the two of you are clear on the ins and outs of the situation before you begin.

Having unrealistic goals can be positive or negative, depending on how you use them. If they’re purely motivational, then keep conjuring them up. But if they start making you feel defeated, then you’re better off being sensible. It’s all about your own attitude because the money doesn’t care either way.
