Quotable moments from this episode:

“A lot of people two step their life; just go out and say ‘if I could just make enough money, then I could be happy’. That’s a mistake. What you want to do is figure out how you want to live and design a business around that so you get paid to live how you want to live.”

“People are afraid that when the other person is talking they are out of control, but really just the opposite is true. In sales (or deal making), you want to ask questions and (then) listen. Then when you do your explanation you have to leave enough so that they can engage. If they ask you questions, even if they object, they are engaged and interested. If there’s no conversation there’s no deal. Most amateur sales people just talk; big mistake. Learn to listen.”
