ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if your biggest negotiation opponent… is you?

Welcome to Episode 219 of Daily Persuasion with Joshua Lisec: “Self Persuading to Win Negotiations.” In today’s powerful, punchy episode, Lisec delivers a game-changing mindset shift that reframes how we approach business deals, hard conversations, and high-stakes bargaining. The key to better negotiation skills? Self-persuasion.

Negotiation isn’t just about the other party—it’s about mastering the battlefield of your own mind. That’s the core of Self Persuading to Win Negotiations, and Joshua Lisec takes us on a deeply insightful journey into how to negotiate smarter by first gaining clarity on your own expectations, emotional triggers, and flexible zones.

Lisec draws on his vast experience as a bestselling author, professional ghostwriter, certified hypnotist, and negotiation strategist to deliver this one truth: if you don’t know what you want—or can’t handle losing what you want—you’ll always walk away frustrated. That’s why self persuasion is the foundation of all great negotiation skills.

You’ll learn how to mentally sort your outcomes into four clear categories:
1. What you want as outcomes
2. What you don’t want
3. What you don’t not want (a.k.a. things you’re neutral on)
4. What you’d like but can live without

This mental clarity primes you for a favorable outcome, even when things don’t go exactly your way. Lisec teaches how to visualize resentment-free results in advance—a technique rooted in persuasion psychology and often used by elite performers and negotiators alike.

Drawing from ancient wisdom, Lisec shares a compelling metaphor: yin and yang. In negotiations, just like in life, winning isn’t black and white. It’s fluid.

Inside every win is a small concession, and within every loss, a potential gain. Understanding this dynamic leads to creative, unexpected solutions—ones that don’t always look like a 50/50 compromise but feel like win-win for both sides.

Whether you’re learning how to negotiate in business deals, selling services, managing clients, or simply navigating high-stakes conversations, this episode offers actionable, immediate value. Lisec unpacks how self persuasion actually boosts your outward influence—because when you’re at peace with various outcomes of negotiations, you bring calm, confident energy that inspires trust and cooperation.

You'll also discover:
• Why most people fail to achieve a favorable outcome due to hidden emotional resistance
• The difference between feeling cheated and feeling flexible
• Real-world persuasion techniques that start with regulating your nervous system
• How the yin yang mindset makes you a more agile, adaptive negotiator
• Concrete persuasion examples you can use to reframe tense interactions

And of course, it’s all delivered through the practical, no-fluff style Lisec is known for on Daily Persuasion. You won’t just walk away with theory—you’ll leave with a battle plan.

So if you’re ready to upgrade your negotiation skills in business, master the inner game, and finally learn how to persuade someone to do something—especially yourself—then press play now on Daily Persuasion Ep. 219: Self Persuading to Win Negotiations.

Don’t forget to drop your favorite takeaway or personal negotiation win in the comments. Let’s build a smarter, calmer, and more persuasive world—one self-aware deal at a time.
