Great Guide for New Founders Tackling Negotiations

I’m a first-time founder, and this book has been a lifesaver in handling negotiations I’d generally feel unprepared for. The advice is practical and to the point, with real examples that prepared me to tackle my deals. It gave me the confidence to negotiate without feeling overwhelmed or out of my depth. This is worth picking up if you’re new to all this and need some clear, realistic strategies.

A useful tool for life in general

This audiobook is a wonderful guide for everyone whether in sales, becoming an entrepreneur, or daily life. You don't realize most of the time that negotiations are part of your daily life because we do it so often, but even in a committed relationship you are always negotiating. I love that the author talks about not always having to "win" at the negotiating table but creating a win-win situation for both parties. This is what negotiation is all about, especially if you have an ongoing relationship with the other business party or just in life. A key takeaway for me was the power of silence. It can do wonders to defuse tense situations or help in your negotiating strategy.

Finding my voice

I am not big on talking to people, and therefore I do not do a good job with negotiations both in my personal and professional life. I want to have better skills and improve my self-esteem, and I was hoping this book will help with all of that. I can say it is helping. I know that all the work on improvment is by me, but this book does an amazing job with the skills and recommendations.

real-world applications and actionable steps

A gem for anyone stepping into the world of business negotiations. As a new entrepreneur, I often feel overwhelmed at the negotiation table, unsure of how to assert myself without, losing my cool, being a doormat or seeming inexperienced. This book helped a lot. The author breaks down complex negotiation tactics into easy-to-understand principles. Now I have a structured approach that I can follow and adapt to different situations.

This isn't just theoretical advice; it's practical, straight-to-the-point guidance. The sections on effective communication and holding your ground against seasoned negotiators have already helped me.

Inside the mind of a boss entrepreneur

So this is a cool perspective on the niche of interpersonal communication, and to be more specific, the art of negotiation and the reason it’s so unique is because this book has been written by (in the author’s words) an “8 figure serial online entrepreneur”. And it becomes apparent through even the first introduction that Michael Wu not only knows what he’s talking about when it comes to interpersonal communication, but he has mastered it and has all the tips and tricks to share with you, such as conquering the ever-dreadful self-doubt, leaning your weight on leverage (with super cool strategies I not had not previously come by), providing value for others in order to receive value back, and a ton more. It’s great to really get inside the mind of such a successful entrepreneur: You don’t get to that level without figuring out a thing or two in regards to human communication and negotiation. Helpful, very, very helpful.
