Only stubborn fools refuse to compromise. Remember that during today’s negotiations, no matter the venue. To keep things moving along, you need to keep a broader perspective in mind. What brings the most people the most benefit? Should you delay some desires if it means getting some sizable long-term advantage? Get those points across to other parties if they’re the ones who are saying no.

You’ve been getting plenty of offers from one small social circle, but you don’t really know what to do. You’re almost certainly worried about hurting someone’s feelings. Don’t be.

Does your partner have a big personal project they never seem to find time to work on? Today, let them know they can work on their project all day and you’ll give them all the space they need.

When someone asks for money, they’re asking for much more than small change. You’ll either have to say no or dig into your deepest pocket. That puts both you and your conscience between a rock and hard place.
