Original Advice
“DO: State your standards and timeline up front”
Announce the Rules, Start the Clock
Stop pretending they will read your mind. A player thrives in fog. If you don’t name your standards and timeline, you become entertainment between plans. Say what you want, when you want it, and what happens if it doesn’t happen. Consequences are not cruelty. They are clarity. Put dates on desire. Put price tags on access. Make rhythm. Make pace. They adjust or exit.
Deadlines expose intention. People who want you move. People who want options stall. Your timeline filters the tourists from the tenants. Standards are not a cage; they are a door with a password. You decide the tempo, the response window, the level of access. Treat your attention like inventory. Scarcity creates respect. A player understands rules. Without them, the game is you.
