There is no major connection in the letters (OK the S is right next
to the T.)
How should Jimmy approach Brian if he wants Brian to do
a favor for him? What would Jimmy actually DO? Does he
use words that all begin with B and T?
That could get a little challenging.
BUT, if he put a proposal on Brian's desk called Break Through
or Break Through for Brian Tracy, Tracy's nonconscious
mind IMMEDIATELY gives a greater than random weight of
attention to the proposal.
It doesn't mean he will instantly say, "yes" but it does mean that
there will be an "extra weight" assigned to the proposal that isn't
suggested elsewhere.
Initials and letter sounds make a big impact where they
shouldn't.
Don't get me wrong.
I was the biggest skeptic in the world when I was introduced
to this research four years ago. That research was limited
to the name and initials of the person, another random person
would eventually marry.
It seemed implausible that INITIALS could possibly matter
as to what COMPANY a person would work for, who they
would marry, what job they would have, what grades they
would attain, what schools they would attend.
To me it sounded like fortune telling and cold reading loaded with
all kinds of biases....but when the research keeps
coming in, over and over, the results constantly show
this incredible covert phenomenon.
And of course do realize that not everyone at Harvard
has the initial "H" in their name.
DO realize that covert influence is what influences
people that they don't see....that they aren't aware of.
Initials influence...a lot more than they should.
In fact it can get bad and sad....the research is in....
For people who like their name too much....and that
name has initials of bad performance labels (like a "D" or
"F" in school, for example) an individual can sabotage their
own success!
Here are just two of the many recent press releases announcing
results of some of these studies.
As you can the researchers themselves have come up with
of other discoveries that I haven't mentioned.
