Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. My name is Tatum Tvia. I'm the host of the Blessing

Boss, the podcast and the CEO of Anchored Media. So let's talk about entrepreneurship.

We talked about, and a few other videos, the secrets to success. Now I'm going to talk

about a skill set that every entrepreneur needs to have, and that skill is called negotiating.

Simply put, a negotiation is defined as a discussion that's aimed at reaching an agreement.

And there's actually a statistic that says 40% of adults in the United States don't feel

confident in their negotiation skills. That ain't going to fly when it comes to entrepreneurship.

It let me tell you something. There's one thing that Tatum to me, Naomi can't go and

do is negotiate. Okay. And as an entrepreneur, never give you a quick little tip. Never take

the first deal. Everything is a negotiation. There's been many of times where I work with

people, and I always negotiate them down because that's just what I do. Trying to save money

at all times. So I'll be like, okay, why don't we do it for this amount or whatever.

And they just take it. Or if I'm offering something, I'll offer usually lower than what

I'm willing to do. And they never negotiate. I've done that sometimes with hiring or

with hiring like for contractors or anything like that. And I'm like, why did they counter?

Why did they just take that offer? And in that particular discussion, I'm going to negotiate

for what's the best for me at that moment. I can't look out for you and me at the same

time. But after the fact, I always say like, you should have done ex-wazzy. Why didn't

I always think to myself, like, why didn't they negotiate that? Why did they take that

first deal? And so I don't think it's discussed enough in the online entrepreneurship world,

the art of negotiation. Now, a couple of tips. In addition to negotiate everything. So

that's rule. Negotiate everything. Never take the first offer. Everything is a discussion.
