I have embraced the art of "ask what you want" in the last couple years, and it has been game-changing. Another cheat code it to reframe it as a win-win ~ "how can I and my manager/my partner/my kids both get what we want?" And there's always a creative way out :)

Totally! It's such a huge help to realise that if both sides share what they actually need then things get so much easier.

I wrote a thing on leverage that got shared by the author Nick Maggiulli. I've got some familiar advice like become an owner or investor (buying leverage), but included a few ideas that may work in parallel with yours:

- be the first

- be the only

- go smaller

- go faster

- go together

As always you wrote the way better article that I wish I’d written. Totally agree with those points. Thanks for sharing Rick!
