These skills need only to be set free or ‘unlocked’ in order to realize maximum gain, both personally and for the company. In this regard, no one beats the San.
This is how successful business has always been done, is currently being done and will continue to be done.
Everyone has the natural ability to do the same. This is the Back to Basics approach!

“Embracing our natural instincts, leads to supreme success. Deviation therefrom, encourages the extinction process …”
