Part of our radio show preparation is a daily review of an email called The Hustle which looks at trends and activities in business all around the world.

We don't have much in the way of background or credibility checks on Mr. Puri so reader beware but his choice for essential skills is interesting to consider.

1. Controlling your emotions. This is #1 for a reason -- learning to control and (maybe more importantly) understand your emotions is imperative.
2. Copywriting. It’s crucial. You need to be able to convince folks to buy your product or service.

4. Persuasion. There’s a reason How to Win Friends and Influence People is an all-time best-seller. It’s important in business and in life.

You can find My First Million on the podcast dealer of your choice (Spotify and Apple).
