      How do you sell in a market where there's a need but clients don't know? With your terms "I will sell people stuff they didn't know they needed". I think the term is hidden desire but not so sure.

      I watched this again... the thing that sells the thing is marketing. It’s what will drive the sales and sell more things. Instead we focus on the products and varieties (thinking why people aren’t buying them like crazy) rather than marketing them which will lead to people buying them. Correct me if I’m wrong.

    It's well-known that multimillionaires failed multiple times before they experience success. More than that, they go to 1 million+ and back to zero a few times before succeeding. We need to understand this is a game of patience and acquiring skills. One failure won't define you and one win will not make you rich forever.

    Point 3 (5:00) sounds like a math problem. You might not know how to solve it unless you learn, and if you learn you'll see more ways to solve the problem. Some ways might be faster but they'll all end up with the same answer but if you don't know what you're doing then you have a small chance of getting it right.
