Have you ever wondered what creates this kind of difference in people’s lives? It isn’t a native intelligence or talent or dedication. It isn’t that one person wants success and the other doesn’t.
On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young women graduated from the same college. They were very much alike, these two young women. Both had been better than average students, both were personable and both—as young college graduates are—were filled with ambitious dreams for the future. Recently, these women returned to their college for their 25th reunion. They were still very much alike. Both were happily married. Both had three children. And both, it turned out, had gone to work for the same Midwestern manufacturing company after graduation, and were still there. But there was a difference. One of the women was manager of a small department of that company. The other was its president.
What made the difference?
Picture your typical work week right now. Are you investing so much time into growing your business that you’re missing out on your ultimate purpose in life? Now, imagine that SAME work week, only this time you have the time and space to focus... to remember that indescribable electricity coursing through your veins when you first were excited about your business. What if you didn't have to work like a dog, as if gasping for breath between expenses?
What if you remember what it's like to thrive with your purpose?
You wouldn't ever want to let that feeling go.
How much more time could you invest into pursuing your life’s purpose and creating your legacy?
You would definitely take one hour.
People don't negotiate because of FEAR and/or LACK OF SKILL.
But worse still, MANY entrepreneurs think they DON'T NEED to learn how to negotiate. They saw three videos of a hostage negotiator and think that's what you should do with your business.
The truth is there's a specific approach to avoid what Harvard Business Review calls the MOST OVERUSED tactic in negotiation. This common tactic is KILLING potential revenues and bottom lines -- ultimately, the success -- of many small businesses. This might just contribute to why such an astonishing percentage of small businesses fail in their first year.
As entrepreneurs, we chose this life to make a difference. We know making a difference means we need to be at our best. We know we are not at our best when we are battling the constant distractions crashing on four sides.
Less-than-adequate revenues. Continually mounting expenses. Waning energy to take on yet another new skill need that has crept up. Lack of time to handle everything in your professional and personal life.
You may not know this, but Harvard Business Review and Entrepreneur magazines agree: It starts with you envision what you need, prefer, DESIRE at the ultimate end point.
It's fine to have a strategy. But when you need to execute that strategy with the agreement of another person, you need NEGOTIATION. You will gain the power to envision, empower, and execute the outcomes you desire with compelling clarity.
Get your life back. Solve the problems you're facing on the four fronts from the outset. Get back to crushing the goals to get to your dream. Learn how you've been missing this crucial ingredient in your entrepreneurial arsenal.
Before things the grind started, you had a clear vision. A sense of possibility. You may have been giddy with excitement with the first task -- the exhilaration of realizing your idea was actually coming together.
Before you have the chance to say you were naive or unrealistic, take a good look at whether the issues you're facing now -- whether it's mind-numbing tasks or the frustrating and seemingly unchanging issues -- could be different. And how they could be different.
You know the answer. You have the key. This course will teach you how to use that key and unlock those chains that are dragging at your ankles.
Join an elite group of successful entrepreneurs who are continually reminded of the sheer adrenaline shot of building and scaling new heights.
You have at your fingertips the ability to position and platform your greatest, mind-blowing ambitions. You will have the knowledge, tools, and experience to bring these dreams to life. That's because this course was specifically designed with a dashboard that helps you retain everything you've learned, and drives it forward to unrelenting value.
After the course, you will never look at anything the same way again. You will only see possibility, and the clear steps to get there.

Award-winning Entrepreneur, Executive, and Educator
As an award-winning professor, senior executive, and entrepreneur, I have negotiated multi-million dollar landmark deals, international business projects, and multi-party disputes. Named one of Musical America's Top 30 Innovators of the Year, I have also been featured in Forbes and Fortune magazine as one of the world's top Executive MBAs. I know the power a good, solid understanding of negotiation can wield: stronger relationships, clearer and more satisfactory resolution of disputes, and outcomes which enable a true achievement in life that we all deserve.
I started Upgrade Learning because I know there is a whole group of people who need skills not covered in their traditional education. After graduating from Juilliard and gaining management, recording contracts, and international awards, I felt that I needed more. I earned my MBA from the University of Toronto and things really took off. But I realize it wasn't the degrees or certification that pushed me forward: It was a special system of learning I devised for myself which underscores all Upgrade Learning courses. Having taught for over 20 years (university professor, teacher, and master clinician) these compact, concise, and memorable courses bring immediate mobility to those who are stuck. You find yourself learning at a great pace and mastering memory retention through Upgrade Learning's consilience approach. We are dedicated to bringing the highest quality, "no B.S." education to the widest populations possible. Through extensive experience in the education industry and burning needs in the professional marketplace, these are simply the highest value, reasonably priced courses on the internet. It's exactly what you need to move your goals forward.
It may be hard to believe, but you'll find negotiation is one of the most fun and rewarding activities. Since we're all doing it daily whether we know it or not, we might as well make sure we benefit and aren't missing out!
I look forward to seeing you progress on this journey!
