Business and Money Tips

We teach people how to call the bluff in negotiation, but don't expose the bluff. The following 7 are the most common ways people bluff you in negotiation. Know the true meaning and be smart today!  "This is absolutely non-negotiable"  Deng Xiao Ping said this in 1979 to UK's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. This of course is a big bluff, for if nothing is negotiable, why do they come to the negotiating table? "We are not ready to discuss" Same obvious buff as above "We need to go back and study this and cannot commit to you now"  This bluff is actually to ask you to change your proposal. If I were to propose selling to them at $1, would they need to study and not commit now? "We understand your concern". This means they want you to understand their concern first  "We like your proposal very much..." What follows is a big bargaining! "Seems very far from what we expect"  This is a good bluff for they indicat

(Find out the 6 keys to business success at  here ) Have you ever asked yourself these questions,  "Why do I have so much work?" "Why is this happening to me?" "I am not good enough, why they don't know this?" "Why is my life so hard?" "I should just give up, shouldn't I?" If you are like most people, you have asked yourself the above questions many times in your life. Scientists said that we have over 60,000 thoughts every day, and 90% of our thoughts are repeated thoughts. So if you are repeating negative thoughts, you are telling yourself you are no good 54,000 times! Doesn't it make sense that we should practice positive thoughts until they become a habit? Then we would have repeat success 54,000 times a day! There is only one way that you can repeat positive thoughts every day -  Ask yourself empowering questions EVERYDAY .  This is because your brain will find the answers to your questions without fai

All businesses must have these 6 keys or they will not be successful and may just fail. The 8 keys are: Growth Mindset , not just meet the monthly cash payments. True entrepreneurs have a growth mindset which says, "Let's make this a 10 billion-dollar company", even though now the company is making only 1 billion dollar in sales now.  Passion for the Business . You have to love the business, your business products, your business partners and what your business stands for. Businesspeople run business to make money, while entrepreneurs run business because it their life's passion and they cannot don't do it! Look for New Opportunities . This means making waves and not becoming stagnant. Often the best opportunities come in the form of problems, and true entrepreneurs welcome problems. Like now the biggest problem is pollution, and true entrepreneurs sell products that make people healthier to cope with the pollution.  Have a Strong Why . Entrepreneurs do not

Whether you are a boss now or working for a boss, you need to behave like a boss. Otherwise, you will be bossed around and your boss may find it too expensive to keep you as an employee. The 8 ways to behave like a boss include: Take Ownership for your work . Do not blame, give excuses or deny your responsibility. Often we see people pushing blame, passing the buck and refuse to acknowledge their mistakes. If you don't take ownership for your work, you will not go all out to improve it. This kind of behaviour certainly irates bosses. Be Accountable for your work . Do not wait for your boss to chase you for reports. Instead chase your boss for work.  Be Responsible .  That means be able to take responses. Not reacting to what has happened, but taking responsibility for your work Learn on Your Own , leverage on others but do not rely on them Think about stakeholders , not just yourself, in making decisions. Stakeholders include the government, society, suppliers, customers,
