About Negotiation
Never be afraid to ask for what you want, ever.
As simple as it may sound, knowing how to ask for what you want is a powerful ingredient as per how much of your life will flow in the direction of your destiny.
The worst that will happen is they'll say no. A worse worst is a yes that could have been but never was because you didn't ask.
When you ask, ask strategically. Imagine a world where nothing is impossible but also consider a world where there's always a tradeoff. Part of your asking starategy must be an offer of what you will do or give in return directly or indirectly. Be subtle, sleek maybe but still very clear. Make sure they're not in doubt of what you want and while at it, be respectful and appreciative of the other person's position, whatever it might be.
Powerful people have needs too. I've sat and dined with the 1% of the 1%, incredibly fortunate and privileged people. I discovered, even they want something. You most likely may not be able to give them or meet their needs but showing appreciation for those needs and making the slightest commitment to helping them on their own journeys will give you access people will consider superstitious.
They don't teach these things in school.
