“Ownership is not the most important thing. It is the only thing that counts. Nothing else counts in the getting of money. Shareholder thanks do not count. A good salary and a company car and health plan and pension don’t count. Most share options (usually nothing more than the promise of chickenfeed to salaried employees, and a promise broken half the time, too), don’t count. The gratitude of colleagues doesn’t count. Nothing counts but what you own in the race to get rich.”
>> How to Get Rich
“所有权不是最重要的。它是唯一重要的。在获得金钱方面，没有什么比这更重要。股东的感谢不重要。高薪、公司汽车、健康计划和养老金都不重要。大多数股票期权（通常只不过是对受薪员工的承诺，有时也会违背承诺）不重要。同事的感激不重要。除了你在致富竞赛中拥有的东西，没有什么更重要。”

The mindset:
Before we get into the "what to say", we need to fix the "how to think", This is 90% of the battle.
Your job isn't to push a product; it's to diagnose a problem. You should be listening, asking intelligent questions, and determining if you're even the right person to help them. If a doctor listened to your symptoms for 30 seconds and immediately tried to sell you on a specific surgery, you'd run. Don't be that person.
In the first half of the call, the client should be doing 80% of the talking. If you're talking more than them, you're pitching, not discovering. You're losing.
You don't need this client. You are evaluating them just as much as they are evaluating you. Think of it like a first date. You're not trying to force a second date from the moment you sit down. You're genuinely trying to see if there's a connection and if you're compatible for a long-term relationship.
Do not read this word-for-word. Reading makes you sound like a robot and breaks all trust.
>> Here's the script that change everything for my freelancing business
在我们进入“说什么”之前，我们需要解决“如何思考”，这是90%的战斗。你的工作不是推销产品；这是为了诊断问题。你应该倾听，提出明智的问题，并确定你是否是帮助他们的合适人选。如果医生听了你30秒的症状，并立即试图向你推销一种特定的手术，你就会逃跑。别做那种人。在通话的前半段，客户应该完成80%的通话。如果你说的比他们多，你是在投球，而不是在发现。你输了。你不需要这个客户。你对他们的评价和他们对你的评价一样多。把它想象成第一次约会。从你坐下来的那一刻起，你就没有试图强迫第二次约会。你真的想看看是否有联系，以及你是否适合长期关系。不要逐字逐句地读这个。阅读让你听起来像个机器人，打破了所有的信任。

And never put money on a pedestal. Money is no better than a hammer. It is a tool used to do a specific job. But if a carpenter never swung his hammer because he was afraid of damaging it, nothing would ever get built. The difference is money can disappear overnight or lose all its value over events outside of our control.
>> Master yourself first
永远不要把钱放在神坛上。金钱并不比锤子好。它是一种用于完成特定工作的工具。但如果一个木匠因为害怕损坏锤子而从不摆动锤子，那么就永远不会建造任何东西。不同的是，金钱可能会在一夜之间消失，或者在我们无法控制的事件中失去所有价值。

You're right that it's all word of mouth. Almost everyone on Earth has been screwed or abandoned by their last computer guy, so they start out quite skeptical. Knowing that their loved one trusts me and that I'm not going to vanish is a huge thing. It's more personal than a doctor-patient relationship!
>> What are the most unique business ideas you've seen that make really good money?

Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact and that is everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use. and the minute that you understand that, you can poke life and actually if you push in, something will pop out the other side. you can change, you can mold it.
>> You can change it
一旦你发现一个简单的事实，生活就会变得更加广阔，那就是你周围的一切，你称之为生活的东西，都是由那些并不比你聪明的人组成的，你可以改变它，你可以影响它，你也可以建立自己的东西，让别人可以使用。一旦你明白了这一点，你就可以戳破生命，事实上，如果你往里推，就会有东西从另一边冒出来。你可以改变，你可以塑造它。
