Last week, at my first live workshop, I invited this guy to give a presentation on selling yourself…
…and he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK.
His name is James Altucher, and he’s an american hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, and best-selling author.

What’s the SCARIEST part about an “Awkward Conversation?”
If you’re the awkward one, you’re flushing your chances of making lasting friendships, forming valuable business partnerships, and persuading prospects to buy what you sell, down the toilet.
And you won’t even know it happened.
Why?
Awkward people are oblivious. Everyone knows it but them.
Now you might think, “I don’t have to worry about this… I’m not awkward…”

I’ll never forget this…
One time, after I spoke at a conference, a guy came up to me to introduce himself
He said, “Hi my name is…” and then he shoved a business card in my mouth.
Yes, IN MY MOUTH.
At first I thought maybe I had something in my teeth. Then I thought, “is this guy SERIOUS?”
I took his business card, dropped it on the floor, and walked away.
Networking fail.
What’s strange is…
