I learned a neat trick once when I used to sell cars. See, building rapport with a client is essential. But it’s a double edge sword. If you’re doing any kind of sales, persuasion, or seduction, once rapport is established, you’ve got to step back and start leading. Otherwise, you’ll too easily fall into the […]
How Often Are You Hypnotized?
When people hear the word “hypnosis,” a few things usually come to mind. Somebody on stage clucking like a chicken. Somebody taking advantage of somebody. Losing weight, or quitting smoking. But what if you found out that you are ALWAYS hypnotized, to some extent? What if you found that being under a state of hypnosis […]
Embrace The Shadow For Less Resistance And More Success
Have you ever heard of something called “cognitive dissonance”? It’s one of those things about human nature that makes us feel “smart” when we understand it, and even “smarter” when we identify it in other people. People on various forums are always pointing out how “other people” are “suffering” from some kind of “cognitive dissonance” […]
Create Success Like A Sex Crazed Caveman
I love reading books about evolution, and primitive behavior. I always like reading how scientists are figuring out what we did back in the day and how it relates to how we behave today. See, humans change very, very slowly. Most of our instincts, desires, and natural born skills center around a hunter / gatherer […]
Fire Up Your Goal Seeking Magic
Many people struggle in life. Well, if we’re honest, most of us struggle. Why is that? One reason is that for many of us, we don’t really know why we do things. We go to work so we don’t get yelled at. We pay our bills so we don’t ruin our credit. We wear clothes […]
She Said That The Quotes Pattern Is Perfect For Covert Persuasion
The quotes pattern from NLP is incredibly powerful. You can use it quickly, in a simple conversation, or you can use it as part of an extended metaphor to really throw your listener into massive hypnotic loop filled with amazing discoveries and old knowledge that they didn’t know yet that they’d forgotten. Now, the quotes […]
What Just Happened?
It’s been said that there’s three types of people in the world. One group makes things happen. Another group watches things happen. The vast majority of us stand back and say, “what just happened?” Everybody has the same basic needs. We want food, shelter, stuff, companionship. These are very vague descriptions. The pursuit of them […]
Look For Treasure
One of the cool things about the human brain is don’t know much about it. Why is that cool? Because there’s so much potential. Think about it, when you think about your quadriceps or your nose hairs or something, it’s just an easy to understand, bio-mechanical piece of equipment. Once you know what it does, […]
Union Negotiations – Integration of Parts For Massive Congruence
You know how when they have those high level negotiations on TV, be it unions or heads of state? The structure is pretty simple. Both sides throw out what they want, and they sort through everything to find out areas where they overlap. In those cases where there’s no overlap whatsoever, negotiations usually stall out. […]
Frame Control
Why did the followers of Jim Jones willingly drink poison? Why do those crazy cult leaders have sex with all their willing female members? How is it possible that politicians (from all countries and all ages) stand in front of crowds of intelligent people, and tell bold faced lie after bold faced lie, only to […]
