When my dad was diagnosed with cancer he was treated at MD Anderson.

I’d walk the halls every day observing patients.

There’s a downside to negotiating. Story time. I once negotiated a painter down from $8,000 to $7200. The painter finished the job. But his heart wasn’t in it. He was resentful. He didn’t come back for touch-up work. The lesson? When you negotiate people down, they feel down. Don’t nickel and dime people. Paying what someone asked for acknowledges their value and the effort they’ve put into their work or services. When people feel their efforts are recognized and rewarded appropriately, they...
