Stupid Negotiations
I have seen some incredibly stupid moves in negotiations recently. People have walked away from being within a few dollars of a huge win to face the prospect of getting nothing or potentially having to pay a huge sum. Crazy.
Stupid Moves in Negotiations
I have been involved in a lot of negotiating this year. From small companies with internal problems to very large companies unable to close deals. The subject of negotiating is a big topic and not everything can be covered in a single post. But I want to help you with an important, maybe the most important piece in negotiation.
Got Conflict?
Few business partnerships succeed. Tension arises when the business isn’t doing well and when the business thrives. Beware of this…
A Plan Is Not This…
I work with too many people who think they can make a plan in an hour by just “deciding things”. That’s not a plan. That is a recipe for problems. Hasty decisions lead to problems and waste.
Too Late for a Business Plan?
If your business has been running a while, even a few years, should you bother to make a plan? You bet. I can guarantee you are wasting money and losing opportunities if you have no plan. But a plan for a business that is already running is different from a business plan at launch.
Time to Think
You put in a crazy day of 10-12 hours and look back realizing you didn’t get a lot accomplished. Ever add something to your “To Do” list that you already did just so you could cross it off? The amount of time we spend working has no direct correlation to the amount of work we get done.
