Mostly, I've noticed that taking advice that I don't have any emotional connection to never turns out well.
In sales I tried taking some advice from a big name (read a few of his books, tried things out. Listened to his podcasts, etc) but things never turned out well.
My sales results plummeted and I was pissing people off.
Over the course of many months and much frustration I finally realized that I didn't have any emotional connection to his advice. It was just information to me and it made no sense. It was like being given a puzzle piece and then you had to figure out which puzzle it fit in. And it could be ANY puzzle, anywhere in the world, but you didn't have any puzzles in front of you.
F*ck that.
So from now on I'm only trying out techniques and advice that sparks a bit of emotion in me. Some kind of emotion that says "You know what? Maybe that's true." and then I'll try it out.
But if I hear something and I can't connect anything internally to the advice, I'm skipping it. This goes for sales and PUA and everything in life.
Coincidentally, upon returning to my emotions/intuition, I've started to do really well in sales again.
Could it be that you are only emotionally connected as you say to those pieces of information that you understand easily?
Sometimes information that isnt written or explained well gives us the opposite to learning, we shun away from it but when its given in a way we understand, a way we can connect to then we fall for it.
It may simply be that the info you came across was not the best for you and the same information from another teacher would be better?
I remember 10years ago saturating my mind with as much information from self help gurus as I could find and I realised that some resonated with me more than others. Some gurus I could see through more easily than others, in that they were simply selling & marketing to me, the cash pot.
Some years later I realised they were all regurgitating the same information and that same information was never actually fact checked but always touted. They saw something that sold and remarketed it because it was the snake oil we all sought.
Now as im wiser I realise that there are only a few principles that we need to obtain success in any field....
1) Change our minds (thus we are here using these subs)
2) Obtain the correct information or education.
3) Take daily consistent action, whether for 1minute or 5hours, but start somewhere and make it daily and consistent as that is the real key to success.
What I found was that #3 is the hardest without #1 helping us.... so therefore autosuggestion or as we all here are doing, using and helping Shannon to create the subs that will work for our respective endeavours.
hope that helps.
I feel like you didn't even read my post. Please refrain from giving unsolicited advice thank you.
