Author Tim Ferriss says, learn to be difficult in life, because then you'll often get things even without having to assert yourself a great deal. People just know they can't mess with you. I don't know if I would go so far as to say difficult, but I think it's crucial that you figure out exactly where you want to stand and not give in. In life, you're going to find clients, customers, bosses who say, I want this, do it this way. For example, they want to pay you 60 days after you've done a training or deliverable. Just say no. Just say, I get paid before I show up. That's the way I work. You might not get every gig, but over time you will mostly get what you want if you stand up for yourself. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
