We often see people say and do things when attempting to persuade that bring them the very opposite results they desire. They’ll argue, plead, beg or scream before finally walking away in anger and frustration. It’s much more fun to watch someone really doing it right. Even better, through observation we can use their example…
It’s his “other classic”…the one that few in our modern times have ever read. Including most economists! After all, how could Adam Smith, the “Patron Saint of Capitalism” have written a book dealing not with economics but with…self-help!?

For all that I travel, I rarely have the pleasure of seeing one of my speaking colleagues at an airport. Even less so, being on the same flight. So, it was awesome seeing my great friend, Prosperity Authority and New York Times Bestselling Author, Randy Gage right before a flight…and finding out he was on the…

Last post we saw that to attain a desired outcome you must first see the situation as it is, not as you wish it were. Not to be confused with a lack of vision, it’s simply understanding that in order to manifest that vision we must acknowledge current truths. Want to design a device that…
There are certain natural laws of life. They are not necessarily good or bad. They just are. They are immutable; unchangeable. With those laws, you have two choices: acknowledge them, or deny/ignore them. What you cannot do is change them. They are what they are. Let’s take the oft-used example of gravity.

Our main motivation is happiness. Defined by Harry Brown as “the mental feeling of well-being” it is understood differently by each individual. People make decisions based on what they believe has the best chances of bringing them happiness… within the limited choices they have. What are those limits?

I define Influence as the ability to move a person(s) to a desired action, usually within the context of a specific goal. Ultimate Influence™ is the ability to get the results you want when dealing with others while helping them feel genuinely good…about themselves, about the situation, and about you. The person who does this…
