By the way, habits develop most quickly when activity follows a "same
time, same place" type of format. Ritual.
I suggest you start small.
Devote just a short period of time to your task, gradually
increasing it, as your self-control will become stronger. Make
sure you do it EVERY day. It's important. Excuses like "I'll skip
today, I'll do extra tomorrow" will not work.
Screw that. Every loser on the planet thinks and does that.
Enlist Support
NOTE: It is also very helpful if you find another person, a friend or
a spouse to help you stick to your goal. Social support reduces
the need for personal self-control.
That's where your EGO comes in handy.
Telling the other person you don't want to work on your plans
equals you admitting that you are a loser with no willpower.
And you most definitely are not, so you will get your lazy butt off
the chair and begin working on your bright future.
Let me share with you one more trick a friend shared with me.
Strategy to "Motivate"
You've decided to go jogging today, but when the time has come you
really don't feel like getting up from the couch and doing
any form of exercise. I myself feel like that quite often.
In that case you tell yourself "I am not going to go jogging.
I will just get up and put my jogging shoes on".
It is a lot easier on your willpower to do a little easy task,
than a big one. In most cases by the time you will get up
from the couch, put you shoes on and get distracted from the TV
show you were watching, you will probably decide to go jogging
after all.
I don't jog, but I use this strategy REGULARLY.
Under no circumstances are you allowed to become "negative."
Have an Outcome Based Attitude
Keeping an outcome based attitude towards your goals will help you
strengthen your willpower. This is what helps me when I feel
down or upset.
Imagine how the same situation could have been worse.
Your car won't start in the morning, because the battery died.
Big deal! Your engine could have exploded on the highway
while you were doing 75 miles per hour. Now that's bad. You
should congratulate yourself because you are actually the lucky
one.
What if friends and family see you as becoming a "workaholic"
(as opposed to a 'I don't work-aholic.')?
Your Success Is Up To You!
You must realize that you are THE ONLY person responsible for
your own success of failure. You have to realize that whatever
you choose is not an option but a necessary priority for your
life.
Always compare alternatives to using your CONSCIOUS WILL,
in your mind, side by side.
Would you rather watch TV, or make your dream come true.
When you think in terms of priorities things will start to fall
into place in terms of setting time aside for things which are important
to you.
Never before in the field of persuasion....not by anyone...anywhere...
The Science of Influence: Vol. 37-48
The Science of Influence in Action!
It took 19 months to put this together because the research was so in-depth and it was crucial to make sure it was right.
Reciprocity?
Consistency?
Contrast?
Expectancy?
I've never been able to answer this question...but now I can with certainty:
Which of the 10 laws of persuasion is the most effective?
Better...
Which is more effective with women...?
and...
Which is more effective with men?
Then, based on detailed research you'll find out which are the second and third AND fourth most powerful laws for influencing both men and women...in order of effectiveness.
Can I give you more?
The research says there are 8 "personas" of persuasion.
I've never talked about this with you before.
(Of course, I didn't have all of this until early last month...)
Personas are the valences people "use" when influencing. They include characteristics, attitudes and valence of salespeople.
Some salespeople are passive. Others are client-centered. Still others? Solution focused and so on. There are 8 clear cut defined types of salespeople and influence personas.
So what?
Here's what you are going to learn:
What are the 8 personas?
How to identify them.
Which one sells the most, and, which ones sell the LEAST.
Which single persona sells 53% more than ANY of the other 7 styles.
In other words, you are going to learn what SPECIFIC characteristics can CAUSE you to sell 53% more of your product than ANY OTHER set of characteristics.
Better?
Only 4% of all salespeople have chosen to adopt the characteristics of the winners...and 81% of all salespeople have the characteristics of the two LOWEST producing people.
You'll find out all!
Scientifically proven. No opinions, guesses, theories, or maybes.
This is THE answer.
I'm not going to hype or oversell these 12 volumes in the Science of Influence Library.
The content herein is second to nothing I've ever done before and I have no idea how it can ever be beaten as for the "wow" value factor. I don't want to put a percentage of sales increase out there for you. (Let's just say that I feel REALLY good about it.)
As I listened to this set, I realized that I've sounded more "excited" on other programs. I've been more elegant. I've been funnier. I might quote too much data. I said a few things I wish I wouldn't have.
I've never had as many final solutions as are in SI 37-48. And now they are YOURS.
Here's the rundown of everything that is in this content masterpiece.
