Sales tip: NEVER sell to your own wallet. If you are selling a product that you believe in, NEVER think how much YOU would pay for it. Make it a value proposition. Have the CLIENT pay for it based on THEIR wallet. Have a look at this t-shirt. Yes, it's real, yes it has customers.

I want you to imagine someone who has A LOT of money and is DEEPLY interested in investing in their own business because they understand what it is for. 99% of human beings are used to making purchases for consumption. Very few know about purchases for investment.

If you're starting out you can price a project on the spot IN your head BUT only if you have some experience in building things. You'll have to build a few things at a loss to get there but it's about having experience.

The way to price something is simple. It's something I've honed in on over the years of working with people and companies. Do you want to be good at it? You want to LEARN it? Sign up for my gumroad early access book! You can't READ? Fine, sign up for my ONLINE COURSE!

Yukh. Makes me sick just reading that. No, I'm not going to make money teaching things like this because that's not where my value creation skills are about. I want you to learn how to sell. I want you to know that not every purchase is a consumption.

I'll teach you step one. Next time you are at a restaurant and you get bad food, don't be polite and leave quietly. Don't get rude and belligerent. I want you to fight your entire societal training. I want you to call for the owner/manager and explain why the food was bad.

Do it professionally. Say it was too salty or too bland or it lacked spice. Be SPECIFIC. Ask if they could offer you an alternative dish. Tell them you like the place but this time the food was a miss. Sounds easy. It'll make you feel like you're about to pick a fistfight.

Once you've done that, you've mastered the only skill required. The skill to SPEAK up for yourself, and what you believe. Then come back to me. And I'll share with you some of the lessons I've learned.

You haven't really lived until you practice the beautiful Japanese art of attempting to mend a cherished but broken object using Kintsugi. This falls squarely within the philosophy of Wabi Sabi (the idea of impermanence and change.)

You maybe wondering what this is. It is a poetic distillation of a powerful idea.

You take a beautiful bowl. You break so as to dull its beauty. This moment is a defining point in the history of the object.

You then sit and meticulously repair the object with a mixture of resin and gold. What you end up with is a transformative experience that yields to the idea that the broken lines mended with care add more beauty than before. Repair requires transformation.

There’s a clown using genetically gifted athletes as an example to propagate some personal preference for a particular exercise. For public health reasons, I just want to say a few things. You are free to obviously follow anyone’s suggestions.

There is a line to draw. If you hear that Einstein spent his mornings walking to clear his mind while attempting to solve problems that’s useful info. It doesn’t mean you’re going to solve the next mystery in physics.

99% of human beings are capable of walking. So the easy sleight of hand is open to use here to trick people. Let’s talk exercise physiology. It involves biomechanics. Joint structure determines function. Human beings have vastly different joint structures.

Lessons from Learning Swift:
So the idea is to inject time via @paulportesi when learning things. Time lets ideas settle into your mind. Read a little, think a bit, try a lot. But of course, we're going to apply this from multiple dimensions.

One of the greatest living actors Anthony Hopkins is rumoured to have the following approach to his craft. He apparently reads the manuscript of any movie he's going to be in about 200 times. That lets him memorize it deep in his bones.

@golang

So what's awesome about the modern languages like @golang and @SwiftLang is that you can actually read the language specs and documents in their entirety without too much strain. I've been spending free time just reading the docs and specifications.

Picture this. You're standing at the beach. You see the tides roll out. You see all the animals running inland. You have two options. Follow the animals, or sit there until the Tsunami appears so your need for data can be satisfied.

The problem with people like this is simple. They'll tell you that models are effective and useful. They forget most models are wrong and some are deadly. You can model a chess game. It's not about as difficult as it gets. I've had 3 people arguing with me about models.

They always introduce chess. So here's the response for that once and for all. Look, chess at some tournament is fine. But imagine you're playing chess in the prison yard. Are the rules of chess the same? Yep, but what happens when you take the queen of your opponent...

Contextual selling:
This morning at the hospital I had to talk to 3 different nurses to get all the information I needed. Given the pandemic, they were tired, and naturally very much on edge. They didn't want to listen to someone peppering them with questions.

I realized what I was doing but more importantly, I read their emotional reactions. They contextualized me in a frame of reference as the "annoying patient's son". Now in all my years of doing sales, I know a thing or two about turning a situation on a dime.

Here's what you do, you flip the context around and all of a sudden your content becomes very much viewed through a different lens. Sales at heart is about contextually giving the content a home. So as their tone got more irritated with my questions...
