There is an “X-Factor,” and it’s not what you think. It is not about bolstered confidence, repeated affirmations, or walking on hot coals. It’s not about the right idea, an ancient secret, or a stroke of luck. To hell with luck! It is NOT taught in business school, yet it is knowledge that must be learned. It is a skill that must be practiced. Those who have it are wholly satisfied. Those that don’t, struggle.
