- 47th rejection of your 'bigger than J K Rowling' manuscript. Time to self-publish.
- Can't get the funding for a full-time MBA. Time to get the reading lists, get down to the library and DIY MBA.
- The girl of your dreams doesn't seem to like you. Time to broaden your dreams.
- Lost the key account. Time for a thorough audit of the value chain, customer service processes and account management ratios.

- Sore throat, again. Time to look after yourself, learn to meditate and slow down a little.
- Hate the day job. Time to get serious about Escape From The Cubicle.
