    I was looking up Jordan Belfort from the new Wolf of Wall Street movie and I came across this gem. Although he used his abilities to break the law (spent 4 years in the federal pen and still owes over 100 million in restitution) the lesson is still golden. This is from an article that talks...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Reading it for the second time now which I would highly recommend doing for those who read it more than a year ago. I am getting entirely new insights out of it based on new experiences. It's on my read again and again list.

    @TedM, First off, a veteran is a veteran. And Benjamin is a great name! haha Thank you for your service, no matter when and where. For everyone else, I know I have some pending questions to get to and I usually try to take them in the order I get them but I wanted to get to @TedM's question...

    Hello from Belgium!

    Waffles.... This is making me miss it. And the beer monks! Now that is a religion. Lol That is by far my favorite city in Europe. Sorry @lamberreke, we aren't trying to high jack your intro into a Belgium beer and waffle celebration. Haha

    That is a great way to put it. Human interaction is very much like a dance. Studying the technique is vital, but there is nothing like getting on the floor to learn. Once you get good, you can just feel the flow of the conversation and know what the other person needs to hear. It is like a sixth...

    Hello from Belgium!

    INTRO 
    @lamberreke Enchante et bienvenue! I guess I should see if you are from the north or the south before trying out some of my rusty French. I was in Bruxelles for the Weekend of Beer in 2009. Fantastic time! This is a great place to feel the entrepreneurial energy. We really have some great...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    @KLaw Here are my thoughts... I did cold calling in the evenings when I was in high school. I was 17. Yes, I was that hated telemarketer that interrupted you during dinner. This was when the real estate market in Phoenix was really heating up. I was working for a fastlaner who had a beautiful...

    @GravyBoat, this is so KEY. We get stuck inside our heads so much that it hurts us in the pursuit of perfecting this art. A human intelligence agents best asset is always his own confidence. Fake it until you make it. One of my favorite quotes. “Whether you think you can, or you think you...

    @Stephanos83, I'll answer your question in a second. I have to take a personal time out... Everyone reading this thread, THANK YOU. I don't think you actually know what the response to this thread has done for me. Prior to this, I didn't really know what I had to add to the conversation. I...

    @throttleforward Yea I could see that now. haha What is funny about the "girls" aspect of using this skill is that it is a natural byproduct of the process of retraining yourself to see the world differently. I don't have a picture of me on the forum but trust me, it ain't this face that got me...

    Exactly. Emotion trumps logic, logic trumps emotion. Emotion is really the key to a lot of human interaction. Not to say intelligence agent's or entrepreneurs have to be running around crying on shoulders. But a positive energy communicated through words will tear down walls. Spot on. THIS is...

    @randomnumber314 Yea they probably were. It becomes second nature after a while, and has to be turned off to maintain good and honest relationships with those you care about. I was in a brick and mortar service business. I love that other veterans are on here. Want to fix the veteran...

    @IAmTheJeff Love the motivation man! Let me know what you get when you try it. Like I said, crash and burn stories are great (if that happens) and success is even better. Let's get those mother's middle names! haha @DanielTArgueta Let me know how it went for you guys. I could write another post...
