The beginning of the article seems very convincing, but it is hampered by the fact that it finishes off with a hurried list of rather weak points like "Show up", "Don't fail", and "Before/During/After the negotiations", which doesn't even fit within the "9 most important things" list structure.

Oh, and the last few points are basically links to linkbait articles like "the 100 rules for being an entrepreneur"...

Weird, considering the good beginning.
