Never underestimate the power of the human ego. In pretty much any kind of persuasion or conversation, most of us are a split between information and ego. Meaning whatever we’re trying to convince people of, either friends, customers, or potential lovers, half of the message is the content of the message, while the other half […]
How Many Great Ideas Do You Have?
When you’ve got a great idea, that’s just the start. Plenty (countless, actually) of people have had great ideas since the dawn of time. But we don’t know about them. Why? Because like another idea, unless you communicate it to others, in a way that’s accepted and acted upon, there’s not really any difference between […]
How To Persuade With The Napoleon Hill Model of Thoughts As Things
Napoleon Hill was famous for coming up the expression, “thoughts are things.” When he said that, he was speaking in terms of having some kind of goal, or visualization of what you’d like to “manifest.” Then as you focus on your goal, or the reality you are intending, it will slowly come to pass. For […]
Experts Say That Everybody’s Doing This
We humans are a funny bunch. On the one hand, we seem to revel in the idea that we fiercely independent, and nobody, but NOBODY, tells us what to do. On the other hand, we are incredibly swayed, at the unconscious level, by the opinions of others. It’s well known to advertisers that social proof […]
Why Logic Is A Myth, And A Better Way To Persuade
Trying to get people to believe something that’s based on your opinion is a tough nut to crack. And let’s face it, unless you are convincing somebody of something that’s been proven several times in a laboratory, written up a scientific periodical and reviewed by several scientists is a long way from being “true.” In […]
The Forest, The Trees, And Covert Hypnosis
It’s easy to lose the forest for the trees. What does that mean, anyway? Think of a big, huge forest, expanding over several thousand acres, backed by huge snow capped mountains that would make Ansel Adams blush. But instead of noticing all the huge immense beauty, you get hung up on some small piece of […]
How To Increase Your Conversational Charisma
What do you think of when you think of objections? If you’re like most folks, you usually think of them in terms of sales, or perhaps in the dating and seduction world. Or perhaps therapy. Patient comes in, wants to stop smoking, but they can’t. Any reason they give you is going to be an […]
The Inside Secrets Of Language
I saw an interesting lecture the other day, by an economist. The subject was free speech laws and advertising, and what role regulators play. Her angle was kind of unique, in that she had a unique view of what communication is, and what its purpose is. Many people assume that language is purely for transmitting […]
Become A Verbal Ninja Assassin To Turn Problems Into Opportunities
Sometimes you’re jamming along, everything’s going good, and then you get blindsided. Now, sometimes these are life altering events, like car accidents, diseases, job losses, etc. Beyond your control, completely out of the blue, and absolutely unexpected. The best thing to do in these cases is to simply retreat and regroup. Surround yourself with loved […]
A One Two Punch With Powerfully Persuasive Potential
One of my favorite patterns from covert hypnosis is the quotes pattern. It’s extremely versatile, and a lot of fun. You can use it to insult people, sexually proposition girls you’ve just met, or pretty much say anything to anybody and not get “caught.” Basically, you take what you’d like to say to them directly […]
