The Billionaire and the Goat
A while back, a friend sent me a photo that stopped me cold.It was a picture of a billionaire — a name you’d recognize — standing on his ranch, bottle-feeding a baby goat.No entourage. No stylist. No designer boots or artfully distressed jeans. Just a man in a flannel shirt, holding a bottle while a small goat nuzzled against him like it had known him forever.And it hit me—this is why most people will never sell to the wealthy.Because they’re not actually seeing the person.They’re selling to the persona.When you sell to the wealthy, never forget that. You’re not talking to the image you see on CNBC. You’re talking to the person who just wants peace, clarity, and a sense of control again.That’s what the best professionals in the affluent market deliver—not more noise, but relief.If you’d like to learn how to do that—how to see through the glamour and connect with the real human being behind the net worth—visit GetWealthyClients.com.You’ll find my full collection of programs, books, and trainings that show you how to attract and retain affluent clients by appealing to what they actually value: authenticity, calm, and trust.
