Negotiation is an essential part of business. Negotiations are often done between business and vendors, employees and employers and even between businesses and clients. The aim of negotiation is to find a common ground that can benefit both parties. When negotiation, list down your list of must haves and things you can tolerate.

Trusting your own journey

However it is important to trust your own journey. Everyone has different goals in life and are granted different resources. Trust that not all you see is the whole story.
