Sales - Earning a skill without comprimising integrity

Robert Kiyosaki says most talented people are just one skill away from riches, and that skill is sales.

But what is the nature of that skill? What is the line between selling value to people and selling out?

You may start a store and sell goods for 5 times what you paid for them, and you may feel wrong about that. On the other hand, you may work for someone, selling those goods to people at the same price, and feel just fine. Why is this?

The key to success in sales, to making it work for you, is to do what you honestly enjoy, with sincerity, and integrity, but also not lose perspective on the other side. Like anything in life, it can't be forced, and it can't be over thought. You have to work at it, and find a way to pull it off naturally. No sales will lead you to be overlooked, even purely altruistic wikis have to market themselves. Too much sales is to be a faker, a sell out, the milli vanilli of the world.

Balance in subtle sales is to be part of the googles of the world.
