And the runner up for Best Piece of Advice I Ever Received is…..
“Don’t negotiate against yourself.”
An acquaintance (with whom I was involved in a transaction) gave me this advice. She delivered the advice delivered off-handedly while passed each other on a run.
Bells instantly rang in my head.
Those bells reverberated through me and, like a cheesy movie montage, I could see a long history of having negotiated against myself.
The reverberation has continued for years. This advice affects the way I view every situation.
“Advocate for yourself” would be another way to state this.
And I do. I advocate for myself. I advocate for my family.
It has changed my life.
