1. You Can Always Do
Better

2. I love haggling for prices.

3. Especially when there's an expectation
to haggle.

4. Now, most of the time, there's a price
tag and people just pay the asking
price.

5. But you'd be surprised how much
wiggle room there is.

6. Many places the sales person simply
doesn't have the authority to haggle,
and they might feel put on the spot.

7. But just to have some fun, try this out.

8. Next time you're shopping for
something, and there's a salesperson
standing nearby, look at the price tag,
look at them, and ask, "Can you do any
better?"

9. Chances are they'll look confused.

10. This works really great if you're in
smaller shops that are staffed by the
proprietor themselves.

11. Although there are some places this
will clearly backfire.

12. Like standing in line at your favorite
fast food place at lunchtime.

13. But for the vast majority of things,
nothing's REALLY set in stone.

14. Which means if you simply ask, you
may be surprised what you can get.

15. But if you never ask, you'll never get.

16. Of course, you can give yourself a lot
better chance if you ask "correctly."

17. If you just walked up to people on the
street and asked them for money, you
wouldn't likely be successful.

18. But if you get to know the person, just
a little bit, to find out what they
wanted, it you might make your
"request" a lot more "acceptable."

19. Like before asking the department
store salesperson if they can "do any
better," you might ask if they work on
commission. Or how sales have been.
Or any other benefit TO THEM for
making a sale.

20. Now, the point is not to get out there
be a super ninja haggler, and always be
asking everybody what they can give
you.

21. But it is kind of fun to see almost every
single relationship as something "to be
determined" compared to something
listed on a price tag, or somebody's
expectations.

22. Truth is most people are pretty bored.

23. They see themselves, and everybody
else fulfilling some "role" of what they
are supposed to say and do.

24. So when you come up and "change the
rules," they'll see you as somebody
that's more interesting than everybody
else. Somebody who doesn't
necessarily need to play by the rules.

25. Once you start seeing your reality
around you as a work in progress, one
you can fully participate in and mold
as you move through it, life can be a
LOT more fun.

26. Of course, this requires you leave
behind some of those old fear of
"looking silly" or "calling attention to
yourself."

27. But that's pretty easy to do.
