Tips to remember in these tough times:

1. Never stop outreaching
2. Talk to the users
3. Scan the environment
4. Counter the myths
5. Watch out for space hunters
6. Recognize the different emotions
7. Answer the question
8. Run a tight ship
9. Focus on planning
10. Keep looking at the dollars
11. Level the playing field
12. Ask the tough questions
13. Keep your spirits up
