					<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Four-Year-Old Toddlers of the Apocalypse</p>
<p>I witnessed some truly disgusting behavior at a kids&#8217; 4-year old birthday party on Sunday (from the parents)&#8230;</p>
<p>And I think it&#8217;s part of the reason this country&#8217;s so messed up.</p>
<p>The horror show started with pass the parcel.</p>
<p>Now call me old-fashioned but back in my day &#8211; you only got the prize if you were the lucky git holding the parcel right at the end.</p>
<p>But no.</p>
<p>Not any more.</p>
<p>Not in today&#8217;s society that frowns on competition like it&#8217;s a disease.</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>In &#8220;New Age Pass the Pussyfoot Parcel&#8221; everyone wins.</p>
<p>Every single layer of wrapping paper plops a chocolate prize into the ungrateful lap of a drooling toddler.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yes kids &#8211; you win every time in life. You don&#8217;t have to work hard, be persistent or get lucky. Just show up and you&#8217;re fine.&#8221;</p>
<p>(Several kids walked off before the game had ended happy with their effortless win).</p>
<p>But it got worse with musical statues.</p>
<p>(Now there&#8217;s a phrase I never thought I&#8217;d hear myself saying) </p>
<p>Yes, you know &#8211; if you get caught moving you&#8217;re eliminiated until eventually one competitor is left standing. Right?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Not in today&#8217;s &#8220;it&#8217;s the taking part that counts&#8221; society.</p>
<p>In New Age &#8220;Competition is an evil which must be stamped out&#8221; musical statues there is no elimination;</p>
<p>In fact, several &#8220;winners&#8221; were picked at the end for being &#8220;the best statues&#8221;.</p>
<p>Facepalm.</p>
<p>You know what&#8217;s wrong with all this pussyfooting around?</p>
<p>It signifies the end of what made the human race successful &#8211; competition, survival of the fittest and winner takes all.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re breeding a generation of wimpy, non-competitive, losers with a misguided sense of entitlement. </p>
<p>And yet you need a killer instinct to survive and thrive in business today.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s dog eat dog.</p>
<p>And if there&#8217;s one killer instinct or skill that makes the difference between winning and losing in business it&#8217;s;</p>
<p>How to sell.</p>
<p>Usually you have to pay top dollar to get top training on this.</p>
<p>In fact &#8211; my friend John Thornhill recently invited a guest speaker to conduct a webinar about how to sell as part of his high ticket mentoring course which cost $2000.</p>
<p>It covered how to sell in 7 simple steps and it went down a storm.</p>
<p>But you needed to pay the $2000 pricetag to get access to the webinar.</p>
<p>However, the guest speaker, Randy Smith, decided the information was too good not to share.</p>
<p>So he &#8220;stole&#8221; it.</p>
<p>And now you can grab these &#8220;how to sell&#8221; secrets for yourself without having to pay the $2000 price-tag.</p>
<p>So put your party hat and dance over to this link before your competitors do;</p>
