Chapter 1: What Is a Negotiator’s Mindset?  

A mindset is a way of thinking. A negotiator thinks about how to avoid a conflict or lead an existing battle to develop an excellent solution for them and resolve the dispute. Sometimes the problem is between you and yourself. If you don’t know how to change your mindset, how can you help others?

What do you want

It is a lens that allows you to see what you want in this world. Unlike beliefs and values, a mindset is reasonably easy to change with awareness, practice, and determination. It is the general perspective you have on life and how you react to various situations. In some ways, you can say that values unite us, beliefs divide us, and mindsets decide if you live a fulfilling and abundant life.  

Feed the mind

Our mindset can stop us from achieving our goals and accessing our desires in life. It doesn’t matter your beliefs or values; if you have the wrong attitude, it can limit you and hinder your general sense of happiness. On the other hand, feeding the right mindset will be essential to create the life you want.  

Individuals can have a mindset, but we can also observe perspectives in organizations, groups, families, and friends. In the case of a group mindset,  it is the way that a group will think when together. For example,  you might think creatively at work if your team encourages you to be daring.  

The goal is to empower you to switch your mindset to positively transform your life and attract options, abundance, and wealth. In the next chapter, you will learn about the different mindsets that exist. 

Chapter 2: The Difference Between a  Scarcity Mindset and a Negotiator Abundance Mind 

There are two types of mindset coined by the author of The 7  Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey. These are a scarcity mindset and a negotiator abundance mindset. The scarcity mindset is more about focusing on what we don’t have and our limits. Meanwhile, a negotiator abundance mindset is about creating opportunities and believing that there are enough resources for everyone to benefit.  

A person with a scarcity mindset will be absorbed with what is missing in his life. In that situation, the mind becomes busy worrying and stops us from accessing what we want from life. A scarcity mindset will focus on limitations and manifest obstacles which can seriously limit our success.  When you limit yourself with your beliefs and actions, you are not open to receiving or recognizing the abundance surrounding you.

He focuses on what he doesn’t have for a scarcity mind: he thinks, “I never have enough….” The person wakes up in the morning thinking they didn’t have enough sleep or have enough time to accomplish all the things they want to achieve that day. No matter what it is, the scarcity mind acknowledges what is not available.

Think of your life. Think which area do you focus on what you don’t have? What limits do you place on yourself? Which area of your life (love, relationships, finances, work, etc.) do you apply a scarcity mindset?

The negotiator takes the abundance mindset. With that mindset, you realize that there is enough in this world for everyone to receive. You let go of negative feelings like jealousy, envy, or pity for yourself and take matters into your own hands. You move from being a victim in your life to a leader. In addition, you don’t focus on the limitation but recognize the good things already present in your life and set your intention to manifest more of what you want. With a negotiator abundance mindset, the person gets up thinking that they will make time to rest in the afternoon and then list what they can accomplish for the rest of the day. It’s about what is possible or about what is available in the present moment. 

Think of what you currently have in your life. Make a list of the things, situations, people that make your life prosperous. What are you grateful for in your life? What do you appreciate about yourself?
