"You'll never amount to anything in your life!"— said my geography teacher
"You'll be lucky if you get a job at McDonalds!" — said my manager at my first job
"Why can't you even mop the $#@!ing floor!?" (also my manager)
Joao, no one believed in me...
"You can't immigrate to a new country and start over!" — my classmates
"You can't drop out of college and start your own business!" — my aunts and uncles
"You can't become an entrepreneur without a business degree!" — my college professor
Yet through it all - I survived. And I thrived. And it reminds me of one of my favourite underdog stories ever…
Initial D…
Takumi, the hero of the story, doesn't have a supercar or some other fancy sports car...
He just has a Toyota AE86.
It's not powerful, it's not expensive, and it's not really a car for racing at all...
But no one can beat him! And even though they all have better cars - he is still better and he still wins.
And in life, it's the same.
Some people will start out with better circumstances than you.
They may look like they have it all. Or that the odds are all stacked against you.
But just like I did it. And just like Takumi did it. You can do it too.
You can prove them all wrong.
They said to me...
"You can't write best-selling books. You're not an author!"
"You can't get 1,000,000 subscribers on YouTube. You have a weird accent!"
"You can't become a global educator. Who the hell do you think you are! You don't even speak English properly!"
But here I am...
You see, in life there will always be haters.
There'll always be doubters.
There'll always mockers.
And there'll always be people who get in your face. And people who insult you from the sidelines.
But that's okay.
Let those people say what they want…
Because you're going to prove them wrong with your actions.
And your success will keep growing...
Until it's too hard to ignore.
Then we'll see...

The Asian 'Dragon Warrior'
I cannot promise you that after going through this complimentary training you'll instantly get an edge over most people in business…
And I cannot promise that you'll get good enough to use these skills for the rest of your life to prove the haters wrong...
And I can't even promise you that you'll instantly have more confidence and more success starting today…
But what I can guarantee ... is this training will completely change the way you view business and sales. And who knows - maybe it's that slight edge you've been looking for all this time.
