Enter a negotiation without expectations and you could emerge with more than you anticipated. Your instinctual feeling for how things will turn out is spot on.
Be open to others’ input, but take your time making up your mind. Ideas that stimulate your thought process are more important than the advice.
Someone who was putting out feelers before is ready to make an offer. You’ll like what you see, but don’t agree right away. You can get a bit more.
Focus on your own progress. There’s plenty of time to help others later, but that won’t happen if you get distracted now.
A rivalry is based on one-upmanship. Act like you’re suddenly intrigued with something else. This will throw an adversary off the scent.
Handle negotiations with a deft touch. Any show of hesitation only slows the process. Be upbeat and others follow your lead.
