Short transcript excerpt of a Blair Singer YouTube motivational talk arguing that having a good idea and working hard are insufficient without sales skills; energy is decisive in selling—"the person with highest energy usually wins"—and generating income requires sustained energy.
But how many of you also know people that have million dollar ideas but don't make any money with their million dollar ideas? It's not because the idea is not a good one. It's probably a very good one. And it's not because you don't work hard, because I'm sure you work extremely hard. Usually. The problem is. The problem is they don't make any money because they don't know how to sell. Here's the rule. Two people come together in a selling situation. The person with highest energy usually wins. Again, part of the goal. If you want to make money, generate income, it requires energy. The more energy you put in, the more you learn. Good.
