What do you stand for?
You have clarity on your goals. You are ready to make this dream come true. On this path, you will face many difficulties. You will need to choose between wrong and right.
A shortcut may lead you to your goals. You will be tempted to take shortcuts. This will be the most deciding moment for you.
You will need to choose the values which will define you and what you are. Honesty, Integrity, Humanity, Humility .... what do you want to known for?
• What will I do if the worst happens?
• How do I plan to reach my goals ?
• What are my values and do I stay truthful to those?
• Who am I?
• Who is my critic?
• Do I value my friends and family?
• Am I living beyond my means?
• Will I break the rules just one time?
• Do I keep my promises?
• What am I most grateful for?
You will be tempted to take shortcuts and more so when no one is watching. This will be the moment which will define you. How will you decide?
Ethics need to be followed all the time and in every situation. Sometimes, we convince ourselves that just this time. One time. Last time. It does not work like this.
Clayton Christensen – Professor, Harvard Business School would say
”One hundred percent of the time is easier than ninety eight percent of the time.”

Negotiation is an important life skill
We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.
If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.
“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
