Unlocking B2B Sales Potential with LinkedIn and Shopify Magic

Bill Perkins showed up at the New York Mercantile Exchange every day until he got a job as an assistant peon. He started with a salary below $16,000 per year and drove a limo in the evenings to make ends meet. Yet, he dedicated his nights to reading books on trading, the oil market, and options. Through unwavering determination, he became a millionaire by 30. Today, he is one of the world's most successful hedge fund managers and entrepreneurs. In this episode, Bill shares his wisdom about making money and how to spend it. He also explains why your goal should be to die with zero dollars in the bank instead of as a millionaire.
