A good salesman will never intrude. In the first place, he will know that intruders do not make sales, and in the second place he will have to have brains enough to arrange for the right kind of meeting with his prospect—no man likes to be panhandled, and some selling comes to close to panhandling.

The only reason you don’t feel this energy all the time is because you block it. You block it by closing your heart, by closing your mind, and by pulling yourself into a restrictive space inside. This closes you off from all the energy. When you close your heart or close your mind, you hide in the darkness within you. There is no light. There is no energy. There is nothing flowing. The energy is still there but it can’t get in.
