Why Women Should Dominate Sales (02:32–04:33)
- Innate Skills: Women naturally listen and care more—skills vital to sales.
- Notable quote: “Women already have the skill of listening. It is hard for a man to listen. They have the skill of caring. It's hard for a man to care… Women also have these abilities inside of their life that works amazing inside of sales.” (02:42–03:30)
- Challenge: Female superpowers like attention to detail can become kryptonite when they create self-doubt or the need for perfection.
Getting Paid to Speak (04:33–05:51)
- Advice: Focus and get known for ONE thing; keep giving value before asking for money.
- Quote: “Can I make somebody a dollar without them ever paying me a dollar?” (05:11)
- Visibility: Consistently show up and deliver value to build your brand.
Overcoming Sales Hesitance (05:51–07:25)
- Reframe: Don't focus on product or price—focus on the outcome for the customer.
- Quote: “Don’t get stuck up in the price of what you charge and the actual physical product. Get stuck on the outcome that it provides for another individual.” (06:39)
- Mindset: Every person is a buyer; “people don’t walk around naked… People buy everything.” (07:08)
How to Choose Who/What to Sell (07:25–09:27)
- Due Diligence: Check track record, expertise, and whether you’d recommend the product to your parents.
- Quote: “Would you sell it to your father and mother?” (08:29)
- “I believe I could sell anything, but not forever.” (08:48)
- Alignment: Choose products/services you personally believe in for long-term fulfillment.
Handling Rejection in Sales (09:27–11:04)
- Learning Mindset: Treat each ‘no’ as a lesson to refine your approach.
- Strategy Example: “Maybe I should change up the script… Hey, Bob, I got about 20 seconds here. I'm busy on my end too. I'm gonna shoot you over an email before you even ask me." (10:23)
- Tip: Stay conscious and adjust quickly from feedback.
Investing in Yourself (11:07–12:14)
- Metaphor: “It’s like a time transformation machine…I’m paying for somebody’s experience because they went through all the mistakes.” (11:16)
- Benefit: Fast-tracks learning, anticipates and eliminates future problems.
Finding Meaning in Charity (12:14–13:47)
- Purpose: Charity is “the biggest reflection of God… it gives people hope.”
- Practicality: Give in a way that resonates with you—time, skill, or money. “Find something that you’re passionate about so you could keep fueling it to help more people.” (12:51)
Legacy: Inheritance and Impact (13:47–15:23)
- Approach: Split legacy between family and loved ones. Focus is on building character in heirs so they do good with wealth.

Handling Investment Requests (31:19–33:38)
- Stormy’s Rule: Be cautious; avoid investing in people’s startups unless there’s a massive track record.

Self-Investment & Bitcoin Education (33:38–37:12)
