The Bottom Line
Stick to your guns and don't give up anything you're not willing to live without.

In Detail
If you're engaged in any kind of negotiation today, keep in mind that the outcome is entirely up to you. Or, to be more specific, the outcome depends on your level of commitment. Determination will play a critical role in how well you fare and how much of what you want you actually get. This applies to simple negotiations with family members and cut-throat wheeling-and-dealing with a professional. Stick to your guns and don't give up anything you're not willing to live without.
