1. The Art of Proper Conduct in Business Negotiation

Introduction

Business negotiation is an arena where a trader demonstrates how professional, powerful, and profound they are.

In this field, having a good product or price alone is not enough.

Real success lies in a skill that few pay attention to: understanding the boundaries of proper behavior.

Before Entering the Meeting: Designing a Mental Map

Before any negotiation, a meticulous trader knows they must have a mental map.

This means:

• Knowing exactly what they want.

• Identifying their non-negotiable boundaries.

• Gathering sufficient information about the other party.

This is like a fencer preparing before a match; no strike is given or received without anticipation.

🔥 Your Calm is Your Power

One of a trader's greatest assets in negotiation is calmness.

Calmness means composure in the face of pressure, unexpected offers, and even provocations from the other party.

The calmer you are, the more charisma and credibility you gain.

🔥 Listening Well is the Key to Unlocking Doors

The ability to listen carefully is sometimes more important than speaking.

The other party may drop hints about their weaknesses or hidden desires in their words.

A professional trader, like an opportunity hunter, catches these signs.

🔥 Body Language: The Silent Effective Message

Your body is always negotiating, even when you're silent.

Strong eye contact, sitting upright, and controlled hand movements all reflect your confidence.

Never underestimate this silent power.

💣 Lack of Preparation; The Invisible Enemy

Nothing ruins a negotiation faster than lack of preparation.

If you attend without knowing the other party or without a preliminary plan, you've already lost the game from the start.

💣 Over-Excitement; The Trader's Achilles' Heel

Most people in negotiations either get angry too quickly or give away too much out of enthusiasm.

Whereas a real trader never decides based on emotions.

They weigh every concession, moving forward timely and calculatedly.

💣 Showing Weakness; Shooting Yourself in the Foot

At every stage of negotiation, you must demonstrate authority and capability.

Showing need, whether in words or body language, emboldens the other party and ties your hands.

💼 The Necessity of Clear Boundaries

You must always know how far you're willing to concede and what your red lines are.

This is the professional boundary that turns you from a simple seller into a powerful trader.

This boundary creates the image of a reliable and serious business partner in the other party's mind.

🤝 Smart Trust-Building

No one will deal with a trader they don't trust.

But a common mistake is giving trust without foundation.

A professional trader assesses the other party's information and experience, documents contracts, and proceeds with strong evidence.

✨ Summary

A successful negotiation is the result of the art of managing behavior, mind, and emotions.
If you want to shine in this arena:

• First, know yourself.

• Define your red lines.

• Be calm and smart.

• Hunt opportunities and minimize mistakes.

Remember: In business, everything starts with a conversation, but it ends with credibility, power, and wealth—provided you play professionally.

2. The Only Choice to Silence the Naysayers

Anyone who has taken steps toward growth and excellence has undoubtedly tasted the bitterness of taunts, sarcasm, and sabotage.

Arad traders are no exception.

When you enter the path of business, suddenly some people appear who only know how to complain, sabotage, and extinguish hope in you.

But I have a fundamental question for you:

If you follow their path, what will you gain?
Will they give you dignity?
Will they give you money?
No.

These are the ones who have sat for years without taking a single step to improve their own lives.

For years, they've been wallowing in the quagmire of routine and don't want anyone among them to rise and escape that swamp.

💡 Sit Down and Calculate!

When you joined Arad in business, what did you gain?
Just money?
No.

• Self-esteem

• Self-confidence

• Social credibility

• Real business knowledge

• Wide network

• Negotiation power

• Courage to face problems

These are things that have no price.

You can't even put a price on this dignity and self-confidence.

🌱 Choosing the Path of Business

The Holy Quran says:

"And whatever benefits people remains in the earth."
(Surah Ar-Ra'd, Verse 17)

The path of business is one that benefits God's creation, brings dignity, and establishes you firmly on earth.

If you want to endure, you must choose this path.

🌟 Words of the Greats

Winston Churchill said:

"If they throw stones at your path, know that you're moving forward."

Mark Twain also says:

"There are two important days in every person's life. The day they're born and the day they find out why they were born."

Today, you've found the reason for your birth: growth, dignity, business.

💥 Silence the Naysayers.

Isn't it better to spend your energy on your own growth instead of paying attention to meaningless words?
Isn't it better to become so successful that even the naysayers can no longer deny it?

Remember:
A tree that bears no fruit never gets stoned.
Today, you're a tree that has started bearing fruit.

So it's natural that some would want to stop you.

🔥 Final Step: Firm Determination

Decide.
Money and dignity with Arad, or empty illusions with people who have nothing to offer you?
You've chosen the path of the elite, so follow it to the end.
A day will come when those same naysayers will kiss your hand and wish they had your courage and boldness.

✨ Come, stay strong, bold, and determined.

Instead of listening to silent voices, let the sound of your dignity and growth resonate in the world.

God is with you because your choice is the choice of growth.

4. Don't Be Zero, Be At Least One!

This isn't a slogan; it's a bitter but saving truth.
Some Arad members are zero in all their daily tasks.

Meaning they've done nothing.

Made no connections.

Sent no messages.

Produced no content.

Taken no steps.

Gentlemen!
Being zero means being dead in business.
When your performance number is zero, it means your tree is dry, without even a sprout.

💡 Even One!

We're not saying you should go from zero to a hundred overnight.
We don't expect you to become a world champion today.
We're just saying:
Be one.
Just post one piece of content for yourself.
Just find one person and connect with them.
Just find one new customer.
Just make one more call.
This small one can become a spark of hope.

🌱 Hope for Growth Starts with One

When you're one, there's hope.
When you're one, it can become two, four, ten, a hundred, a thousand...
But when you're zero, you'll always remain zero.

💬 Information Isn't Enough, Build Connections.

Some say, "I have a lot of information."
But what's the use if you have no connections?
Information without connection is like having a garden full of flowers that no one sees and even you don't water.

💥 Who's Responsible for Failure?

Those who remain zero will eventually say, "We didn't get results."
But is there any result other than zero for someone who does nothing?
Such people will say they were in Arad but made no deals.
But the truth is, the problem is with them.

🤝 What Do We Want?

We're not asking you to make hundreds of calls or find dozens of customers every day.
We just want you to be one.
Don't be zero.
Move.
Move forward.
Plant seeds to build a tree.

🌟 Time to Grow

If you haven't done anything today, send a message right now.
Post something.
Make a call.
Find one person.

✨ Don't be zero, be even one.
With this small "one," build a future you never imagined.
