Joe Girard is a former salesman and motivational speaker. Having sold 13,001 cars at a Chevrolet dealership between 1963 and 1978, Girard has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's greatest salesman.

As a high school dropout, he started working as a shoeshine boy, then he worked as a newsboy for the Detroit Free Press at the age of nine, and then as a dishwasher, delivery boy, stove assembler, and home building contractor. In 1963, the then 35-year-old walked into a Detroit car dealership and begged the manager for a job as a salesman. He sold a car on his first day, and sold 13,000 more cars in the next 15 years, averagely 6 sales per day for 12 years.

Girard’s dominant character is Collector. In the past Collector was considered the “good” Money character and Gambler was considered the “bad” one. This is because in ancient China, the emperors own everything. They don’t know how trade creates wealth, their idea was traditional: for someone to make money, someone else must lose money. They like farmers because farmers create wealth; businessmen were considered leeches because they don’t grow anything, they simply buy low and sell high.

The difference between Collector and Gambler is: Gambler is speculative money, Collector is hand made money. People with Gambler are more likely to make big money because they have the vision to risk big amount while Collector makes people haggle over every penny, so nowadays Gambler is the hot topic and Collector is not being taken seriously. But we know why Girard’s Money is Collector Money instead of Gambler: He is a salesman; one great sell doesn’t make a career, you need to work like a farmer to build it up.

Since he is so good with money, why was Joe Girard was so unsuccessful (he had had 40 jobs, no money and $60,000 in debt) before he walked into the Chevrolet dealership? Let’s look at his fortune line. Girard has too much Money and he has to yield to it. He yields to Earth so Fire serves as favor and Water serves as foe. Girard has (12)(1)(2) as his first three steps of fortune. (12)(1)(2) are the three steps of Water, so Girard had a bad time. We know the Metal-Water semicircle ends at (2) and Wood-Fire semicircle starts with (3), check here: http://hhftn.blogspot.ca/2016/02/the-basic-7-how-to-pick-favor-and-foe.html, and the fortune was 3(3), Fire sitting on Wood, so he was begin to success. The 3(3) fortune started since 1960. But the year 1960 was 7(1), and 1961 was 8(2)... so he needed wait until 1963 for his time. 1962 was 9(3), 1963 was 10(4), 9 and 10 are both Water, why 10 is OK but 9 is not?  Because 10 would merge 5 and becomes Fire.

I know he is a motivational speaker, but I know the reason of his success more than he does.
