One of Jim Camp's 33 rules for negotiation

My dad always wanted me to become a placekicker in football. He was probably right in retrospect. More chances to get on the field.


On a few of my teams I was the backup or 3rd or 4th string. Never got to kick in a game. I was thankful for that, because I never practiced.


However, I was a decent punter and was able to ply my wares a few times in high school. Best I could muster on the Varsity, however, was DEEP on the depth chart (if there even was such a thing).


Point being, I could kick, though I wasn't really any good. I was a better punter and my team could depend on me there if needed. We just had way better guys to do that stuff when I was playing.


Heck, when I was in 7th grade, our best player was our starting running back, middle linebacker, placekicker, and punter. Naturally, he ended up in the NFL, eventually starting a playoff game for the Jim Harbaugh-led Colts while I was sitting at home watching the contest.


But I could have punted and it wouldn't have been terrible...


So it goes with my multimedia expertise. I can do a lot of things. I'm decent at a few of them and sneaky good at a couple things behind the scenes.


However, in the last few years I have started to put websites together for the first time since the mid-1990s. There are people way better than me that do this type of thing.


Recently, I started taking advantage of the advice proffered in a book by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy called Who Not How. I'm reaching out to my "whos" and not worrying as much about the "hows."


But, I am still making progress on some of the "hows" with my interaction with the great "whos" in my life.


Website design ... I still need a guy ... though today I updated my page on Jim Camp, once known as the "World's Most Feared Negotiator." I added more detail to the page and it answers a few of the questions I often get when I recommend his book, Start With NO.


Jim Camp passed away many years ago, but he still serves as a "who" and a "how" when it comes to figuring out things like negotiation. A lot of every day tasks require a little bit of it.
