It may be necessary to pay more than you expected, but the quality workmanship will be a good investment.

Your charm and wit open doors. If you're looking for love, you'll find it with someone who is delighted by your amusing remarks.

It's a good time to negotiate a deal. You'll get much better terms than originally offered if you appear indifferent to the outcome.

You should get straight to the point. A refusal to face the facts has made a bad situation worse. Your willingness to address a sensitive matter will earn the respect of both peers and superiors.

Eventually, they'll find the facts. Right now, your friend needs to believe in an illusion to move forward. Maintain the facade. The less you discuss this issue, the better. Steer the conversation to more innocent subjects, like music, movies and books. The time to reveal painful truths will come later. Fortunately, it won't be your job.

Your ideas are ahead of the curve. It will take time to convince the group of their merit. Usually, people are used to you being cautious. They'll be amazed at your desire to try something new.

Fortunately, your peers admire your business sense and will be willing to follow your advice.

You have a mind like a steel trap. If someone tries to talk their way out of a deal, be ready to remind them of the original agreement. It's not your fault they promised more than they are willing to deliver. Be willing to file a lawsuit. By making it clear you mean business, you'll get everything you were told you would receive. You don't like playing hardball, but it's sometimes necessary. People who fail to fulfil their obligations need to be challenged.

Your upbeat attitude wins support. No matter what difficulties you face, smile. Offer to wheel and deal with an unpleasant character. Do the best you can with limited resources. Someone who observes your behaviour will offer you a great job. They admire the way you don't get discouraged by insurmountable odds. This ability will make you successful in virtually every area of life, especially business. If you are given a chance to work for a commission, grab it.
