Now you're just going to listen, absorb that, and then show them the value of your program in light of their needs." - Andrew Strohm   19:06 "They'll come and say 'I'm having difficulty selling my services or my product.' And I ask them, "Well, what's it worth?" And they normally give me a short term perspective." - Andrew Strohm   20:49 "Is that your good life? And if it's not your good life, how much longer are you planning on doing that?" - Brian Keith   23:09 "It is incredibly worthwhile and pays dividends for the rest of your life to have a professional look at you and say, 'Why are you doing that?' It sucks!" - Brian Keith
