Always Be The Buyer: Attracting other people's highest commitment to your biggest and best standards
Every entrepreneur starts out as a great salesperson. It's how you built and grew your business. But at a certain point, you're creating so much value that you become sought-after in the marketplace. And that's when you become the buyer. No longer will you just take any opportunity that comes your way. No longer will just any customer or client be worth your time and effort. Discover the characteristics of a buyer mindset that attracts others to you, and leave the selling phase of your life behind.

Did the audiobook. Dan Sullivan uses what he teaches so well in Who not How. He provides the expertise, partners with someone else to turn it into a great book.
Always be the buyer. Others need to raise themselves to your standards.

What a trite, diatribe of crap! This seems a mix of Seuss’s “All the places you’ll go” and Joel Osteen “God will provide if you just believe in yourself” without the deity reference. Here are a couple of gems for you.
1. Your experiences are uniquely your own! Bet you didn’t know that but in this book they validate the blatantly obvious. That, in deed, YOUR experiences and how you interpret them, are unique to YOU. Groundbreaking!
2. You can take a negative experience and learn a lesson from it that you can apply positively to the future. No shit, really? When I didn’t look both ways I almost got hit by a car. But now I look both ways - what a mind blower of a revelation! Thanks Dan!
3. You can learn from other peoples problems. Ya think? Probably why Pepsi didn’t come out with Pepsi II.
Please don’t waste your time or money on this. Thankful the book was free and the value of the content exactly what I paid for it - nothing.
It would be difficult for me to fully capture what a useless

This book has many illustrations, and motivational talks, making it very easy to understand for beginners in business startups.
There are few technical terms so you can read it like a magazine.
I was able to understand that a businessman's career path is from a salesperson to a buyer.

I Will Always Be the Buyer!
Interesting concept introduced and adopted by me. I’ve always sought like minded people and have immersed myself with them. But to have it put into these terms and concepts helped gel a different aspect of my life.
This is a great read 🤗
