Tip 2: Positive in, Positive out – Earl attributes his success to constant self-improvement and listening to positive messages, books, and podcasts. He believes in the mantra “positive in, positive out”. “So if I'm gonna listen to music, it's uplifting music. If I'm gonna listen to a podcast, it's gonna be about sales. It's gonna be about positivity and how to rewire my subconscious so that I can better take rejection,” says Earl.
