As T Harv Ecker would say. You need to be a better receiver. He has this drill he does in his seminars where he makes everyone go around the room and give a compliment. The person who is complimented is only allowed to say thank you and nothing else. It was really hard for me and embarrassing but now it's natural. I don't it's really the art of negotiating you need but the realization of your value.
When I took that job at the reduced price that price was actually the number I had in my head originally. I had upped it a bit in the bid. So when they came back with that number I was fine with it.
Yes I am seeing a change in my wife and yes my reduced accomodation has a lot to do with it. Last night she asked if I would cook dinner. I stopped offering and I can tell she misses it. I stopped pursuing and she's hanging out with me more.
Yes, I think the elephant does not exist. I don't think there was ever a PA and probably not anything you could really call an EA either.
