This Conversation Hack Made Me a Millionaire — Here's How It Works | Entrepreneur Original
I have made millions of dollars by making music hits and selling more than 80 million records. I have also built multiple multi-million dollar businesses. I did this by selling my value, talking my way out of tough situations, negotiating deals, using the power of persuasion, and being able to reasonably deal with some of the most unreasonable people throughout my life — both in business and the streets.

And to a certain extent, it's true — these things fulfill certain needs. The problem is that we usually take it too far or forget what we should focus on. Most of us still grind our lives away in hopes of adding more commas to our bank accounts. But what happens after you achieve these things?
