Doing Persuasion Right

Blog, Influence, Success, WWIBy Bob Burg October 31, 2014 8 Comments

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…

Human Nature, Happiness and Adam Smith

Blog, Book Reviews, SuccessBy Bob Burg October 23, 2014 4 Comments

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!? Yet, the author of The Wealth of Nations did indeed write The Theory of Moral Sentiments. That…

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.

Actually, That’s What Makes It Bragging

Blog, GeneralBy Bob Burg October 7, 2014 13 Comments

It’s a well-know phrase I recently saw tweeted. “It isn’t bragging if it’s true.” I’ve also heard it said, “If it’s true…it ain’t bragging.” Either version might be based on the late St. Louis Cardinal’s Hall-of-Fame pitcher, Dizzy Dean who reportedly said: “It ain’t braggin’ if ya’ can back it up.” However…it’s not correct! Actually,…

Question Regarding Capitalism vs Cronyism

In a Facebook group run by my friend, Dov Baron, he posed the following question: Capitalism…Do you see a difference between Capitalism and Corporate Capitalism? Should we keep either, both, and if so how do you see us repairing the system? Many responded. One I found to be particularly interesting was from someone we’ll call…

Want to Influence? Don’t Deny Human Nature

Blog, General, InfluenceBy Bob Burg September 17, 2014 1 Comment

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.
