Influence and persuasion - Get anyone to do anything you want

[collegedropout]

it's an interesting concept, and the book is fabulous, one of those "Must Read" books in life. Same with (just got my hands on this one) maximum achievement, by Brian Tracy if there was such a thing as a modern day bible I'd say this one is in the running.

I wonder, how much of this idea is actually "making people do what you want" and how much is simply being open and receptive to avenues of success? And that includes influential people helping you. It feels a bit assertive to me and in my understanding LOA is not assertive, but you can attract people who want to help you and circumstances which flow.

Would aligning ones self with success in any avenue one chooses, whether it's the avenue of getting free things at restaurants, or the avenue of making music which would appeal to world market and having an in with the large medi moguls make more sense as a concept? I don't know or have any answers, am just thinking out loud. I can be persuasive. The more persuasive I become, the more it seems to be about allowing other people to feel they are getting what they want through you and by helping you and afterward feeling great about it, rather than to be about simply being so amazing that magically everyone does what you want. Or maybe I'm not confident enough for that one lol

I don't really believe too much in LOA in the sense where the I can sit on my ass and universe will grant me all my wishes just because I'm receptive to it, but I do believe it in the sense that when you tune your subconscious to exactly what you want out of life, you'll have a heightened intuition for the right opportunities and the right people.

I don't think they "come into your life"..but more like "luck is when opportunity meets preparation" where your subconscious is prepared and when you meet the right person, your subconscious will just know and take advantage of your opportunity. At that point, you'll get the desired outcome..some people will thank the universe, some people will be grateful for their subconscious. I believe more in my subconscious (something I can control) than in the universe, personally.


I'm also thinking out loud/BS'ing, just so you know lol.


And as for influence.. that's exactly what influence is. Being super empathetic and honing in on peoples' deepest needs and desires and helping them get what they want while you get what you initially wanted as well. People do things for other people who sympathize with them.
