  The Entrepreneurial State -...

  The world's most popular products, from the iPhone to Google Search, were funded not by private companies, but the taxpayer.In this sharp and controversial international bestseller, an award-winning economist debunks the pervasive myth that the government is sluggish and inept, and at odds with a dynamic private sector. She reveals in detailed case studies that the opposite is true: the state is, and has been, our boldest and most valuable innovator. Denying this history is leading us down the wrong path. A select few get credit for what is an intensely collective effort, and the U.S. government has started disinvesting from innovation. The repercussions could stunt economic growth and increase inequality. Mazzucato teaches us how to reverse this trend before it is too late.

  It is not a secret that to attain success in investment, an investor would have to buy at low and sell high. Perhaps the problem is that most people lack psychic power. There are experts who can tell about some of the most common mistakes investors make and while it is easy to chase the hot possessions, it is the less obvious pitfalls to look out for. Because these less obvious, and sometimes almost negligible snares can lead to bigger consequences.  
  It’s easy to forget that mistakes are a part of life. Fortuitously, for most people, their ultimate mistakes in the workplace are small as compared to some of the biggest mistakes or blunders in the history of investments. For some, it could be comforting to know that even the richest can make costly errors but still accomplish great things in their life. 
  Every generation makes investment mistakes and others could learn from them. Sometimes an investor just goes with what he or she thought was the best, but that’s not always enough.

  It turns out that most negotiations are over even before they begin. The Marriage and Family Therapist that has spent the most time planning for the negotiation, doing their homework, and collecting the data that they'll need is the one that's going to walk away from the table with the best deal and a sense of winning. Wouldn't you want that person to be you?
  
  What You'll Find Inside:
  THE 7 DEADLY SINS OF PREPARING TO NEGOTIATE
  DEALS THAT MAKE MONEY: HOW TO PLAN YOUR CONCESSIONS
  CLOSE MORE DEALS: UNDERSTANDING BUYER POWER & WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
  SINGLE VS TEAM NEGOTIATION: WHICH IS BETTER?
  
  Planning is what happens before a Therapist sits down at the negotiating table. There are no negotiating tactics or tricks at play here. It's just a matter of you doing your homework.  At the same time you hope that the other side is NOT doing their homework so that you'll show up at the negotiation more prepared then they are.
  
  Just committing to doing the planning that your next negotiation is going to require is not enough, you also have to know just exactly how to go about doing it – you have to think about the offers and counter offers that are going to be made. That's what this book is going to teach you. Every negotiation is different and so the planning that you'll have to do for each negotiation will be different also.
  
  The planning that is required for a successful negotiation takes on many different forms. These can include planning where and when the negotiations will be held, what concessions you'll be willing to make to the other side, and understanding who has what power in the negotiations. 
  
  The end result of doing the planning that a negotiation requires is that when you sit down at the negotiating table, you'll have a sense of being prepared. You'll know what you need to know about the other side of the table, what their goals are, what their constraints are, and what they hope to be able to get out of the negotiations. This is exactly the type of knowledge that every person who lives in the world of Marriage and Family therapy is going to need in order to be able to reach the type of deal that will allow you to walk away from the table with a sense of having closed a deal that is good for both you and your clients.
