More quotes by Guy Kawasaki
Enchantment is the purest form of sales. Enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better.

Then you get out in the real world and you think, 'I have to have a minimum of 20 pages and 50 slides.
