Ask for more than what you want.
It is human nature to want to negotiate and make deals. The price given is never the final price. There is always room to barter and negotiate.
If you are a salesman then start with you most expensive items first. The customer will see these enormous price tags and be blown away. Then show them what they really want. When they see this more average price it will feel like a whole lot less than just going with the average price first.
This strategy is to be used for ethical purposes only.
When trying to influence people there are two things you must accentuate.
This is how sales people and marketing people take advantage of the unsuspecting consumer.
No matter what life is going to have ups and downs. There will be pains and pleasures.
All of the pain is a given.
The success and pleasures are up to you. These feelings are not given. You have to go out and take these. You have to make these happen. This is what it means to live a life with no regrets. Even if things do not work out you want to be able to say you gave it all you got. You went after your dreams. You didn’t make excuses.
You might as well fail doing something you love.
What is the good in this?
If you are experiencing something painful then what can be good about it?
Everyday we follow the same mental patterns. We think the same thing and have the same feelings. People have tenancies to be angry, upset, frustrated, stressed, depressed. Some people have tendencies to be happy, fulfilled, excited, and loving.
We must recognize what are tendencies are and if we don’t like them then change them.
I am committed to being happy! I figure out what makes me feel good and do that. I figure out what makes me angry or bored and avoid that. Do more good and less evil!
What metaphor you use for life with change how you see the world.
Life is a BITCH!
Life is like a dance.
Life is art.
Life is a war.
Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.
Each one of these metaphors will give your life a different meaning and cause you to take different actions. Whatever you think life is you will play into the story that you have given your life. The mind will make you right. If you say life is a blessing then you will act like it and be grateful for every moment you are alive.
Use metaphors to your advantage to make your life more exciting, playful and meaningful.
If you want to make progress in anything there has to be metrics.
Find a system that works for you that highlights what you with to make progress on.
You will never know if something is working or not unless you have data to back it up.
Give yourself a grade everyday to see how you did. How can you do better? What went right? What went wrong?
Seeing results will motivate you to stay focused and keep pushing.
Experiment with different systems and find out what works for you.
Step 1 – Know what you want.
Step 2 – Know what is preventing you from getting what you want.
Step 3 – Solve the problem with style.
Make it memorable.
These three decisions will drastically help guide you. Don’t overthink your answers.
To infinity and beyond!

Sometimes if there is not an immediate result then people lose motivation and focus. We are easily bored and have a short attention span. Time is the most valuable asset everyone has so no one wants to waste their time. If you are trying to lose wait the people think the worst thing is to waste time on something that doesn’t work. They try everything and the pounds never come off. This is frustrating for anyone going through this struggle All they want is the feeling of being fit and sexy.
They want this feeling so bad they will look for solutions to get this result immediately. The pain of staying fat is a motivating thought. So motivating that it causes some people to try and cut corners or take a magic pill where there is no pain and only pleasure.
The pleasure is in the pain. You should not wait until you reach the destination to feel good. You should embrace the pain and do the hard-work. Pay the price and you will gain the reward.
