If you just learned this powerful concept, you could change so many things in your life for the better.
Let me see if I can explain it.
In conversations, and in media, people spend a significant amount of time in choosing the right words, making sure they all flow together, and that the spelling is correct, and the grammer is right. Well, they are focusing on 7% of succes. Now it’s an important part, don’t get me wrong. The difference between the “right” word and the “almost right” word is the difference between lighting and a lighting bug.
What I want to share is that, if you knew that you could increase your success of the words you choose simply by being aware of HOW you are saying them. Here are some thoughts, ideas and techniques I have used around the world in speaking with folks, just like you.
Look at yourself in the mirror. I know that seems like something very simple to do, and it is. I am teaching you a secret to success, and success is simple. So look at how you look in a mirror. When you, what is the feeling you see. Not what you feel. What feeling do you see. I want you to really look at that image you see, because that is what those around you see.
There is a phrase I teach my students: Who you are speaks so loud that I can’t hear what you are saying. Emerson said this. It’s so very true, and when you really understand this, you will begin to realize why many of your conversations did not go as well as you planned, did not produce the outcome you wished for.
The words are important, I am not saying they are not. What I am saying is that if you use less words, and more of YOU, the words you need to use will be less.
Get better at You, and you will get better for everyone else.
3 Simple Steps for 93% Success
1. Record yourself
If your not comfortable in front of a camera, or you thing you “look funny” or “sound funny”, then that is what the audience is thinking as well. Get good at being in front of a camera and the results you get will dramatically improve.
2. Watch Comedians
Comedy is so much about timing. So you will begin to see how hard they rehearse to get the punchlines delivered just right. Also watch their expressions. You will see what they are NOT saying makes the joke.
3. Practice, Practice, Practice….
The key is make it natural, and the only way for that to happen is to make it a part of you. Know your topics as well as you know your phone number, your name ect.
Have fun.
