(It\u2019s weird, but I can virtually guarantee you that, by shifting one little thought in your brain while talking to clients, you can exponentially increase the chances of selling them, even if you\u2019re not the \u201cbest\u201d option to buy from.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A secret way to get yourself (without inviting yourself or even telling anyone you\u2019re interested in doing it) invited to speak and train at events, seminars, masterminds and other high paying events.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Why the easiest and most reliable way to lose (or get fired by) a big client or customer is to do exactly what they tell you to do.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The one attribute JV partners are repulsed by more than anything else.

(And the secret to truly giving \u201czero fugks\u201d \u2014 and having everyone know it, without you saying a single word. A secret that can irresistibly draw JV partners, clients, and customers to you like flies to a fresh, steaming pile of dog poop.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The \u201cgolden rule\u201d of negotiation that works like magic whether you\u2019re buying a house, negotiating a deal with a client, or even trying to get an A-list JV partner to want to do business with you on your terms.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Why being \u201cnice\u201d is a sure-fire way of not only hurting your own business\/profits, but your client\u2019s business\/profits too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What Brian Kurtz (Target Marketing Marketer of the Year and former Executive VP at Boardroom) taught me about power\u2026 and how not to squander it.
