Dissecting hundred million dollar negotiations from two GOATs of personal branding: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bethenny Frankel.
First, unleash the schmäh: how Arnold Schwarzenegger mastered the art of persuasion and persona to become one of the world's most famous and highest paid stars. Schwarzenegger's movies have grossed more than $4 billion worldwide at box offices. At the peak of his career, he consistently earned $20 to $30 million per movie.

There is a word that Arnold uses to describe his efforts at self promotion, heard repeatedly in the Netflix mini documentary series "Arnold."
The word is schmäh, an Austrian German idiom that is behind his singular global success. Think about applying schmäh to your own marketing. Steve Jobs did it. Maybe you can harness that playful, larger than life vibe in selling your own products or services. But the key is that you have to believe in it for anyone else to.
Plus: The Bethenny Clause - and what she has in common with Arnold as a brilliant marketer and negotiator.
