In the old days, I told people to go look at people's walls, look at the books they read, their degree, the school they went to, the knickknacks they collect. All these things give you a clue in who somebody is, and enables you to figure out your commonalities that you could share that with that person to build intimacy and trust. 07:45 – Jon's Valuable Free Resource(VFR): http://www.nimble.com Discount Code: jon40 08:36 – Q:'What's my favorite book? and What's my purpose in life?'
