    The way of the wolf

    BOOKS 
    If you guys like "Way of the wolf" then I would suggest "Sales EQ" by Jeb Blount as a follow up. I've been going through a bunch of sales books lately and both of those are two of my favorites.

    MINDSET 
    More power to you. In my opinion, I'm not a superhero nor am I trying to rid the world of something impossible to get rid of. I'm all for providing value, and if you want to get rich you SHOULD provide as much value to as many people as possible. That said, some wars are best not fought...
