1. A lesson I learned today: for a successful man, it’s crucial to take the other party seriously during the first business meeting to increase the chances of success—just like having sex with a woman for the first time, you want to make it a memorable experience for her. First impressions are everything. 2. You must demonstrate sufficient capability for the other party to grant you the respect you deserve. When coming to China to find suppliers, Adi Boss rents luxury cars and stays in five-star hotels. Showcasing his factories in the Balkans and his fan base is a testament to his unique business acumen. 3. Business is business. If a potential supplier treats you with disdain or arrogance, making you feel uncomfortable, it doesn’t necessarily affect the partnership. Their disrespect simply stems from the perception that you aren’t yet powerful enough.
