We’ve got another edition of our “Road to Revenue” series and today’s episode is all about abundant negotiation    If people you are negotiating with are willing to give, it is the natural flow, and you shouldn't be afraid to receive, and you shouldn't be afraid to keep asking. In life and business, you will not receive if you don't ask or command the universe. And don't stop commanding or else you will create resistance for yourself. Command means "work with" the universe; don't get it confused with demand! This is not about trying to drain someone else of their energy, or wearing the other party down by pressing them again and again. It is about working together to create more abundance for all!

The holidays are a time for giving, any many of us experience issues with giving, receiving, or both. But, if you take the time to look a little deeper at your attitudes toward abundance and scarcity, you’re likely to shift your perspective. This is a “season of giving”, but there is a scientific basis for the importance of paying it forward, as well. When you give to others, “feel-good” chemicals are released in your brain, as well as that of the person you are giving to. Not only that, but anyone who witnesses an act of giving has the exact same reaction in their brain! Operating with an abundant mindset, believing that there is more than enough in the world to make everyone happy, and living a life of service will not only help you to pay it forward, but will encourage others to do the same.
