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

Sometimes we can’t help but compare ourselves with other people. Especially since the existence of social media, comparing ourselves with others can get out of hand. We feel like we are inadequate because some people are already happily married, or have kids, some people are successful and some people are travelling all the time. 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. You have to believe that you will taste your own success as long as you keep working on it. Some people are successful youn and some are successful at 55, not everyone has the same timing in life.
