Rise and Shine on Sept. 6 (you don’t want to be beholden to anyone, but you don’t feel ready to break out. This is what’s good about holding patterns. They buy time), Sept. 7 (it’s time to pursue a new financial path), Sept 8 (shame won’t get you what you want, but a bit of coaxing and cajoling will), Sept 9 (a boss or client has gotten wind of your dissatisfaction and is trying to buy your silence. Ask yourself what your asking price is), and Sept 10 (you appreciate the support, but wonder if it’s conditional. It is, but it’s better than nothing)
Duck and Cover on Sept 4 (don’t be shy about asking people to repeat themselves. You don’t want to say you understand when you don’t), Sept. 5 (are you being supportive or are you enabling a situation to continue? It’s time to draw the line), and Sept. 11 (the only thing worse than making a mistake is listening to everyone’s after-the-fact criticisms. Tune them out)
