Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Negotiation and "deal making" seems to play a HUGE part in the lives of many successful business people.... Some very wealthy business people have made their whole careers essentially out of deal-making, and nothing else....

I hope to write more about this fascinating topic in the future.... :)
