Well, those rules are really for the petty sociopath. If you do it, do it big.
1. Disregard unspoken rules, but not the small ones like not donating at the museum, think more rules like "you just can't enter this industry", "you can't just schedule a meeting with that CEO". Those can have an immense ROI, while the petty ones may get you a punch to the face.
2. You should also live in the best place possible for your budget - negotiate down to the last dollar, but not for some shi%%y apartment in some shi%%y ghetto.
3. Rule 3 seems accurate - if you can't do it on your own, take some drugs :-).
4. A few prepared anecdotes is short sighted - you should learn human psychology and the art of social manipulation for the best results.
5. Or get them from the inside - blend in, build up support, then announce your true intentions (aka the dictator way).
- selter01 13y agoThis man gets it. I liked the article until the examples. They felt like something out of a gossip magazine rather than someone who has a "bloodless rationality"

I've unsuccessfully proposed meetings with someone above me from a different department. Maybe I should've created Outlook invitations? ;)
- jotm 13y agoBut did it have any negative consequences? Trying and not succeeding is better than not trying at all - there's always the chance that you will get the desired result (maybe by applying Rule 4 :-))... Also, since you've been rejected, why not start your own rejection therapy - http://www.entresting.com/blog/100-days-of-rejection-therapy/ http://www.entresting.com/blog/100-days-of-rejection-therapy...
- blablabla123 13y agoNo negative consequences, just knowing the fact that this guy really didn't want to talk to me. ;-) > http://www.entresting.com/blog/100-days-of-rejection-therapy/ http://www.entresting.com/blog/100-days-of-rejection-therapy... Yeah I know it, saw some Videos of it. Just awesome, one should really apply that stuff in Business life
