15 Rules of Negotiating by Harvey Mackay

A while back, a Fortune 500 CEO called me. I had never met him, but he wanted me to talk to his top executives for two hours and on negotiating strategies. A bit overwhelmed, I said, "I'm very flattered, but frankly, I don't know if I can talk for two hours on negotiating."  Then I realized I was actually negotiating with myself. As my brain finally reconnected, I cut myself off. "Well, let me sleep on it and I'll get back to you."  Later that evening, I began to write down some of my negotiating experiences and saw that my problem was going to be holding the speech down to two hours.

The Law of Abundance by Brian Tracy

The Law of Abundance—there is ample money for everyone who knows how to acquire it and keep it. We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and are willing obey the laws governing its acquisition. You Can Have All You Want  There is plenty of money available to you. You can have virtually all you really want and need. We live in a generous universe, and we are surrounded on all sides by blessings and opportunities to acquire all we truly desire. Your attitude, of either abundance or scarcity toward money, will have a major impact on whether you become rich. Make a Decision The first corollary of the Law of Abundance says, “People become wealthy because they decide to become wealthy.” They become wealthy because they believe they have the ability to become wealthy. Because they believe this completely, they act accordingly. They consistently take the necessary actions that turn their beliefs into realities. And you can always tell wh...
