Are you a big fan of negotiation? Or does it kinda make you cringe? You know you should be doing it…but ugh – the though of actually taking action gives you the heebie jeebies.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
In today’s video, I’ll share with you the 3 key things you need to do to shake off those negative reactions and embrace negotiation.

It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and out of your element when tackling a negotiation, and in this video we learned that:
- We don’t have to call it negotiation. Changing that word can change our mindset.
- Negotiation isn’t really about what we think it’s about. Recognize this, and you’re on the fast track to Pro status.
- You can’t be great at everything. But what you are great at can help you create fantastic results.
I’d love to know your thoughts on this. How can you reframe? How do you build great business relationships? What are your business superpowers? Let me know in the comments below.
