Think Like a Pirate!

Have fun, be lazy, and cheat!

Sell anything to anyone, anytime, anywhere!
Pull successful shenanigans!
Stay outta jail!

Four Noble Truths in Zen:

  • The truth of suffering
  • The truth of the cause of suffering
  • The truth of the end of suffering
  • The truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering

More simply put:

  • Suffering exists
  • It has a cause
  • It has an end
  • It has a cause to bring about its end

Applied to Parley:

  • Folks perceive problems
  • Real or imagined
  • They desire solutions to their problems
  • Sales solves their problems

The Eightfold Path of Zen consists of eight practices:

  • Right view
  • Right resolve
  • Right speech
  • Right conduct
  • Right livelihood
  • Right effort
  • Right mindfulness
  • Right samadhi
    (meditative absorption or union; alternatively, equanimous meditative awareness)

Think Like a Pirate:

  • Everything is a sale (fundamental truth)
  • Superhero: Salesman! (Choice)
  • The Science of Parley (Caldini Sales Process)
  • Create Wonderful Opportunities to Buy (add value)
  • Live to Sell! Sell to Live! (Ikigai)
  • Over 100,000 hours (pay yer dues)
  • Think Like a Pirate (have fun, be lazy, and cheat)
  • Let it flow (be here now)


If experience is the best teacher,
why not just cheat and use mine?
