    Quotes:

    What you have to do walking in is know your risk profile and pick your battles, and as you pick your battles, listen closely to the other side for what their requirements are and meet those requirements … in other words, be entrepreneurial about the way you deal with those negotiations.

    Jason Meyer, Meyer Business Law

    I actually didn't realize how much negotiation I was able to do on my side…I always feel as though as if there's a bigger company and they have more market share, that I have to do things their way. Knowing that I don't have to – that there is some wiggle room in that negotiation that we can at least ask for – That's really comforting to know.
