Today, Den reveals the secret to success in business. Hey, did you just scoff? I get it. But please suspend your judgment until you hear at least the first two minutes of this episode, okay? There really is a secret to success, but it ain’t glamorous, sexy or exciting, but… it does work.
Plus, there are sales and marketing tips aplenty.

Well, as the saying goes, there’s a sucker born every minute, and a lot of them are clicking on these ads! – 1:00)

- The secret power behind “The One Thing” maxim. – 16:00
