How To Analyze Potential Business Opportunities
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
As entrepreneurs, we are constantly looking for new and different ways to collaborate and promote ourselves. For the most part, this is a good thing. A lot of the times, it’s about trial and error –throwing that pasta to the wall and seeing what sticks. However sometimes we tend to spread ourselves too thin by saying yes to almost anything and everything.
Opportunities come and go and when you've come across a potential one, it's important to go through these points before coming to a final decision.

Monday Jun 20, 2016
Negotiating - Part 1, gives an overview of the interest-based negotiation model by Fisher, Ury & Patton. It starts with preparation, including knowing alternatives so that one is not too soft or too hard, knowing how to separate people from the problem, staying firm on interests but flexible on positions, and engaging in brainstorming options for mutual gain.
Negotiating - Part 2 explains the one other principle: Use objective criteria. That is when negotiators differ on their idea of fairness, or truth, rather than have a subjective argument they rely on more objective sources.
