New buyers will pay much higher prices.

However, there is one very important key to success that I’d like to talk about today: action.

I’ve talked many times about the principle of the mastermind. Napoleon Hill, who was one of the first people to talk about it, described it this way: when you get more than 2 people in a room with similar backgrounds, similar needs, and similar goals, then you form an additional entity (paraphrasing). This is the mastermind. It is the power of communication and connection with other people.
