| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Jim. |
| 0:03.0 | Welcome to Silent Sales Machine Radio. |
| 0:06.0 | And Stan, I'm going to address a recent post from our Facebook group that sent me into |
| 0:13.4 | a line of thought that it's been a while since we talked about this podcast episode number |
| 0:18.1 | 213. |
| 0:19.9 | We kind of talked about this topic a little bit as well, |
| 0:22.4 | but I've got a different direction today. It's mindset. What does it take to get the right |
| 0:27.8 | mindset to succeed in business in general? Internet, business, Amazon, any business, what does |
| 0:34.4 | it take? And specifically, I was listening to another podcast, and I'm not |
| 0:39.3 | trying to call them out or anything because I'm not looking to debate, but I actually have a |

| 1:04.2 | just an observation after several years of watching people. And while I agree partially with that, I would state it completely differently. |
| 1:13.3 | It's not a matter of personality or character traits. It's a decision you make. Success in business |
| 1:20.6 | is a decision you make. Now, let me lay a nice foundation before I start to share what else I have |
| 1:27.3 | for you in this episode. |
| 1:28.6 | This isn't Jim's opinion. I do my best to point out very clearly when I'm using my opinion |
| 1:36.6 | on topics. I go back to the firm foundation of the most timeless, proven, time-tested business advice in world history. |
