Successful business leaders always prioritize the basics. They invest time in understanding themselves, their goals, and the art of preparation. These small but crucial steps can significantly affect the success of your negotiations.

Here are three practical ways to practice negotiation skills daily:

1. Dive into research: Gain insights into the people involved, their objectives, and communication styles. This knowledge will boost your confidence and preparation for the negotiation process.
2. Set clear objectives: Before entering negotiations, define what you aim to achieve and what you will bring to the table.
3. Anticipate challenges: Be ready to handle objections, unexpected requests, and hurdles in finding common ground.

By incorporating negotiation practice into your daily routine, you'll enhance your strategic growth plan and align it with your business priorities. Research will uncover new opportunities, knowing your goals will guide your offerings, and challenges will test your determination and help you better understand yourself.

Optimism by itself is not good enough for decision-making. It's the balance of optimism and pragmatism that leads to sound decisions.

Creative solutions have constraints. One way to identify the impact the constraints have on a big business decision is to consider the downsides. Finding out the root cause is still elusive, or continuing some part of the work will hold you back. 

It takes courage to face what could go wrong. But worst-case scenario exploration is not just about identifying weaknesses, it's about building a strong foundation to tackle challenges, making you more prepared and resilient.

Tune in to this "It’s Your Business" program with three people passionate about consistent action to create accountability. You will hear from Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting; Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors; and your host Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction,, discuss the upside of downside thinking to achieve success.

Your success comes from your ability to sustain growth over time by ensuring alignment of today's actions with your long-term goals. It can be challenging, and preparation is a word that brings a lackluster response at best; yet, without preparation, you don't know how the resources being used today can influence the outcomes you want to achieve. 

Foundationally, there are three things that create sustainable business growth. First, what are nonnegotiables? When two things have equal importance, one is always put first. Not only is that the priority, but also it indicates the way work is really done. Second, protected time dedicated to strategy every week. Specifically, at least two consecutive hours in a row. Third, adaptability is a competitive advantage. More than what people can do to adapt, it is the collective response and adaptation of the team that truly makes a difference.

In this program, Jess Dewell, a Strategic Growth Consultant at Red Direction and the host of the BOLD Business Podcast, shares valuable insights on identifying your business's core to achieve sustainable growth. She also discusses strategies for managing growth while addressing the uncertainties that often come with complex business challenges. 

Additionally, Jess explores how a growth strategy can set the course for a company to remain competitive in the market, outlines the three main concepts behind a successful growth strategy, and emphasizes the crucial components for navigating change and overcoming challenges.

Emotional resilience, a key component of Dimensional Leadership, comprises self-awareness, persistence, emotional control, and flexibility. Dimensional Leadership is about leading your company forward and being comfortable outside your comfort zone, a concept that is crucial in the context of emotional resilience. 

Our response to each situation and its relative stress is a reflection of our emotional resilience. In a world filled with high stress and dramatic change, the ability to flex in our actions, thinking, and feelings becomes crucial. This adaptability is a key aspect of resilience, allowing us to navigate through pressure cooker situations with self-awareness, trust in ourselves, and a moral compass. It's this trust in ourselves that gives us the confidence to navigate through any situation. 

Jess Dewell welcomes three esteemed guests to share their insights and experiences about building emotional resilience. Ben Baker, President and CEO of Your Brand Marketing, Mark Carruthers, Principal and Senior Consultant, and Andrew Hutton, Founder and CEO of Day One.

"It's all in the preparation" sounds anything but exciting in our instant-gratification world. Yet, it's the key to success, providing a sense of security and control in the unpredictable business landscape. Success comes from consistent attention to how you, as a founder or business owner, show up—which requires preparation! 

Your mindset directly relates to the actions you prioritize. There is potential to be tapped into for efficiency and adaptability.
