5 HIGHLY EFFECTIVE NEGOTIATION TACTICS
Negotiating isn’t about competing well – it’s about communicating well.
Here’s five tips to level up your negotiating game:
- Listen more than you talk: understand what the other side wants.
- Use timing to your advantage: hit them when they’re more likely to be in a lull.
- Find the right way to frame the negotiation: make it easier to negotiate on the points that matter to you.
- Always get when you give: When making a concession, receive something in return.
- Always be willing to walk: take emotion out of the equation.

And while many countries are closing their borders, Estonia is doing the complete opposite.
Ever wanted to understand what their e-Residency actually means?
April Rinne, a US Citizen and one of the first holders, explains it’s not quite a passport. But it’s much more than a tourist visa.
It’s perfect for digital nomads working across the globe, especially in Europe, and offers an affordable route to establishing and maintaining a small business abroad through:
- Borderless transactions
- Leading edge cybersecurity
- Ease of administration tasks.
Three years in, April believes it certainly works. And it suits not just freelancers, but independent and remote workers, investors, CEOs, and even prime ministers!

A startup entrepreneur had the unique opportunity to hang out on Necker Island with Sir Richard Branson and had three key actionable productivity takeaways that any online entrepreneur can put to practice overnight.
