Hi everyone, just saw a video on YouTube. It basically says that you can have the most brilliant business idea in the world, but still don't have success unless you posses this skill: sales. I know there are a lot of people that are very doubtful on the level of education they have to achieve before building their first business, so is there any particular skill or book that are absolutely necessary before opening a business?

Assuming you like, and perhaps play, basketball judging by your picture - what book did you read to learn the skills you need before picking up a ball for the first time?

Or did you just pick up the ball and adjust from there?

The answer is the same to your question.

You don't know what you need to learn next as you have not started.

Heya!
What Stargazer said is completely true, however if you were like me and genuinely (somehow) didn't understand "Sales", I'd recommend the following video series
View: https://youtu.be/-mzk_KJyFyw


You don't have to watch everything, heck just one video would be enough (or none if you already know what "Sales" is).
Either way, this series itself taught me quite a bit!
Oh and it's also why I started on my side hustle.
