Stop Haggling. Start Playing.
Most negotiations feel like a hostage standoff over the last slice of pizza. What if making a deal actually felt… fun?
In this hands-on community workshop, you’ll team up with someone you trust to test-drive a surprisingly simple game: trade proposals, rate your genuine excitement on a scale of 1 to 10, and keep tweaking until you both land on a deal you’re genuinely excited about.
Whether you’re renegotiating a work arrangement, asking for a favour, or settling the eternal battle over who’s on dish duty forever, you’ll trade clumsy haggling for radical curiosity. Bring one real agreement from your life, and leave with an outcome both sides actually want to sign.
Inspired by The Happy Money Game (Art of Accomplishment), this experience throws out fear-driven, transactional dynamics in favour of fluid, values-aligned relationships with money and life agreements.
What We’re Flipping on Its Head:
- Consumer → Investor: Stop buying into raw deals; start investing in decisions that pay off in your real life.
- Busted Limiting Beliefs: Call BS on the idea that every trade requires a winner and a loser.
- Collaborative Value Creation: Unlock dynamic options that excite both sides.
The 3-Hour Game Plan
- 6pm to 6:30pm Land & Refuel: Warm welcomes, eats, drinks, journals in hand, and a taste of the underlying philosophy.
- 6:30pm to 7:15pm | The Four Teachings: A snappy, interactive dive into Joe Hudson’s core money paradigms.
- 7:15pm – 7:45pm | Real Talk Journalling: Guided reflection on your own money quirks or current sticky agreement.
- 7:45pm – 8:30pm | The Happy Money Game: Partner up, rate your excitement (1–10), and finally practice saying the scary thing out loud.
- 2:30pm – 3:00pm | Debrief & Victory Lap: Group sharing, lightbulb moments, and wrapping up.
💡 The Takeaway: You won't just leave with warm feelings and good notes—you’ll walk out the door with one real-life deal completely negotiated and ready to execute tonight, plus a repeatable blueprint to turn every future standoff into a high-excitement win.
