Best way to sell something: don't sell anything. Earn the awareness, respect and trust of those who might buy.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it.

I want you to back yourself into a corner. Give yourself no choice but to succeed. Let the consequences of failure become so dire and so unthinkable that you’ll have no choice but to do whatever it takes to succeed.

No one hangs up the phone until the customer buys or dies.

There are always patterns in everything, there are patterns in books, there are patterns in human behavior, there are patterns in success, there are patterns for everything in life. You just need to pay attention to them.

You don’t choose who you fall in love with, do you? And once you do fall in love—that obsessive sort of love, that all-consuming love, where two people can’t stand to be apart from each other for even a moment—how are you supposed to let a love like that pass you by?

There’s no way to succeed in business without the highest ethical standards.
