I lived it. After I sold more than $1Billion, I thought about the experience critically, reflecting on the people who shared the journey with me and what I learned in the process. The result led to a deep exploration of how I could help others be successful. While it is written specifically for anyone looking for sales advice, many people have shared how this helped them land their first job after college, sell an idea to their boss, advocate for change, and get a date. We all sell, and I'm surprised at the wide appeal.

I have a digital notebook on my phone and anything that inspires me I capture. Inspiration and ideas come all the time, so be ready to take these golden thoughts down and act on them. I also use brain.fm to help me focus and allocate time daily to write.

After completing my book, I'm finishing my MBA and creating sales courses to help people be more disciplined, develop winning mindsets, adopt healthy patterns in their life, and boost their confidence. These are all traits that will make you successful in sales as well as any other activities in life.

Everyone has a story inside them waiting to be shared. One of the most challenging obstacles to overcome is your own limiting beliefs and fears. Too often we are consumed by what others think. If you have conviction, then set some goals for yourself. Find good models to help mentor you and give you tips, and build habits to keep you on track.

I enjoy hearing how my readers make sense of what I wrote. I'm interested in how it matters to them personally and how it impacts them.

I am always writing, and I keep notes in real-time via technology. I also use neuroscience principles to unstick myself, which keeps me focused and on track.
