457 | CHRIS VOSS: FBI Hostage Negotiation Masterclass on Why You Should Never Split the Difference
Folks... We’re going to be honest with you. This episode took us 4 years (and countless emails) to land, and that’s because today’s super special guest is none other than the famous... CHRIS VOSS, former FBI hostage negotiator and author of the book Never Split the Difference! He has had a jaw-dropping, movie-worthy career working for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that spans 24 years. Across this time, he has worked in roles such as the Lead International Kidnapping Negotiator and Hostage Negotiation Representative for the National Security Council’s Hostage Working Group (Yep. We’re also jealous of those titles 😉) But of course, that’s not all! In 2019, he went on to create and narrate The Art of Negotiation Masterclass and is currently the CEO of the Black Swan Group. He also works as adjunct Professor at Harvard Law School, Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business, and as a lecturer at the Marshall School of Business at University of Southern California. Basically, Chris has had a lifetime of experience in resolving crises and high-stake negotiations and today, we get to sit down with him and discover how to use his knowledge to win the property game. From the #3 tactics Chris uses to gain the upper hand in negotiations to the 3 extremely different and crucial Yes commitments, we’re digging into Chris’s fascinating brain to understand exactly what Tactical Empathy is and why you should NEVER split the difference.

Bonus Episode: Don't Invest in Property Without These Four Foundational Levers…
The process of building wealth is like operating a bulldozer… What do we mean by that? Well, a bulldozer comes with a few levers that you’ll need to push and pull to make sure that it’s doing what it’s meant to do. Likewise, when it comes to building your property portfolio, there are “Four Foundational Levers” that you’ll need to adjust to achieve your own specific and unique end goal. …And the faster you can adjust each of these levers, the quicker you’ll get to your goal. To put this into perspective… Let’s say you’re building a house. First, you’d start with the number of rooms you need (the floor plan), then its size (the measurements), then the engineering (how it’s going to be built), and, finally, what it’s going to be built from (building materials). Without these things you can’t build the house as you planned to build it, right? Not to mention, if you changed just one of these things you automatically affect the other three. And, yes, the same applies when you’re building wealth. You need ALL four levers and if you adjust one you impact ALL the rest…. So. What are the Four Levers when it comes to building wealth? And why are these so important for a property investor?! Listen now to find out. Don’t forget, you can get further insights and “play along at home” by picking up a FREE physical copy of our book here: http://www.thearmchairguide.com.au/ Here’s a bit of what we cover in today’s episode… The Four Foundational Levers To Financial Peace and How They Work Together How To Use The Four Foundational Levers To Align Your Passive Income Target With Your Current Circumstance How can you PLAN your property portfolio? Why won’t a “Cookie-Cutter” approach cut it? How do you work out how much money you’ll need to retire? When should you start earning that passive income?
