When I was a kid I loved to cook. I still do. Sometimes though, when I was doing some “experimenting” in the kitchen, things didn’t turn out so well. I was never one to follow directions, so I kind of just mixed whatever I found, hoping to get a good results. Most of the time […]
Whose The Director Of Your Life?
I’ve taken a few acting classes at local community colleges in the past. They’re great for a lot of reasons. One is you get to meet some interesting people who aren’t afraid to get out of their comfort zone. They also help you uncover lots of issues about expressing yourself. The best actors are the […]
Are Your Fears Really Real?
I remember long ago, I signed up for Toastmasters, as a means of self improvement. Public speaking is one of our biggest fears, and I figured if I looked one of my fears in the face, and realized that it was much smaller than I’d imagined, I’d feel pretty good. And I did. A good, […]
Wisdom From Dumbledore
There’s a cool line from the Harry Potter movies (and books if you’ve read them) regarding the difference between imagination and reality. (spoiler alert lol) There’s a scene where Harry is supposedly “dead” and while he’s dead, he’s talking to another character (Dumbledore) who’s also “dead.” Dumbledore gives Harry a bunch of wizard wisdom, and […]
Are You Satisfied With Your Life?
I used to live near this pretty decent sized, non-international airport. One weekend they had this special. You showed up, paid a very SMALL amount of cash (less than a hundred bucks) and in exchange you got two round trick tickets to a U.S. city, along with one night in a hotel at your destination. […]
Why The Ego Must Be Left Behind To Ensure Successful Persuasion
One of the biggest obstacles to persuasion is our ego. It doesn’t matter of you’re in proper face to face sales, or if you’re just getting somebody to agree that purple is a better color than red. Either way, your ego can get in the way, and destroy everything. Why? Because it’s the ego’s job […]
The Power Of Your Words
Stories have an incredible way of getting a point across. Since the dawn of time, humans have spent a lot of our spare time sitting around telling each other stories. Maybe it was the elder members of the tribe teaching the youngsters an important lesson. Maybe they were slowly evolving myths about the mysteries of […]
Give Them Helpful Advice On The Sly
Most of us have a love / hate relationship with advice. Meaning we love to give it, but we hate to hear it. If you’ve ever been in a touchy situation, and you’re considering your options, hearing somebody intrude into your thoughts with something like, “Why don’t you…” is usually not very welcome. Now, if […]
How To Become More Persuasive Than Superbowl Ads
I love a good TV commercial. The best ones are entertaining, funny, and often times get more attention and social buzz than academy award winning movies. Plenty of people watch the Superbowl, for example, not because they like football, but because the commercials are pretty good. It’s widely known that an ad on Superbowl Sunday […]
How Many Signals Are You Missing?
Many guys are absolutely blind to signals from women. It’s common for guys to think of girls as some kind of super human, angelic species that can do no wrong. We see a gorgeous woman from across the room, and suddenly assume she’s the answer to our prayers. When we approach, we are subconsciously trying […]
