Knowing how to negotiate is one of those things I wish I’d known how to do much earlier in life. It would have saved me thousands of dollars, and hours of mental anguish. But I learned it the hard way, by making mistakes and wasting money and time that I could have put to better uses.

Examples of negotiations were all around me—on the global stage, between presidents; nationally, among union leaders and automakers; statewide, as congressional leaders battled to enact new laws; locally, with the Chamber of Commerce enticing businesses to relocate; and in my own home, with mom and dad negotiating who was going to take the kids where.

Today, the U.S. Congress is trying to negotiate a big spending bill. Recently, it was reported that President Biden, who was trying to take a tough stand to please the progressives in his party, is now implying that he’s willing to reduce some of his proposed expenditures to make a deal with the Republicans.

Every single day we all negotiate something, so it’s imperative that we learn how to do it to our advantage.
