Overview
If your patience with someone who's heavy on promises but light on delivery is wearing thin, today is the day to have a little heart-to-heart with this person. It's not quite time for an ultimatum, but it is definitely time to tell this person to get real. The difficulty of your discussion will be in direct proportion to the relationship's closeness -- keep this in mind. Try not to mix business with friendships, because if you do, both tend to suffer in the long run.
