There is dark matter all around us. There are things that the human eye cannot see. What you see is not the only thing that you should believe. The world is made up of these intangibles that cannot be put into words or be repeated by others.
Some people can make the impossible seem effortless. This effortless effort is what we all strive for. People like this seem superhuman and make something so complicated appear elementary.
As soon as you start believing in yourself is when your journey begins. Once you start believing you can make things happen is when you start making things happen. The more you believe the more action you will take to make things happen. When you invest in yourself you see the returns immediately. You become a better person. You create more value for other people. Your life becomes easier. You move out of pain and into pleasure. Invest in your health, wealth, happiness and love. Invest in these areas and fullfil your life to its maximum potential.
When people are looking for a restaurant to eat at, when people are looking to travel somewhere, when people are looking to buy something the first thing they do is look at reviews. People will ask their friends for recommendations. People are looking for social proof and validation. No one wants to be the guinea pig so their looking for socially proven solutions. They want to know that if other people have done it then they can do it too. Everyone is looking at each other for what is good. People are looking at you when you write a review or make a recommendation. When you get the social proof people need then you are more likely to make a sale.
To influence others they have to know you. To sale something to people they must know you. To be known you must know yourself and know how other people see you. People buy from people they know like and trust. If they don’t know you then they can’t like you or trust you. Figure out ways to get to know people. Go to meet ups, call people, email them, post on social media. Let people know who you are. Let people see you, hear you and trust you. It is easier to be unknown and hard to be known. Be known for the right reasons. Be known for helping others. Be known for quality, value, trust, kindness, empathy, a problem solver, creative, enthusiastic. Be known for always being there when people need it. Be known for the work that you do.
Doing kind acts for people builds up a social credit with that person. When you do someone a favor the other person often says, “Thanks, I owe you one!” The other person feels in debt like they need to make it up to you. This is why you should always be doing kind acts for people when you have the means to do so. You will never know when the tables are turned and you need someone to do something for you. If are giving small acts of kindness these can have huge returns. The more you give the more you live.
The law of supply and demand is one of the first things you learn in life. Look at little kids playing with a toy. If there are two kids and one toy then they both want the same toy. This is true when you grow up to and a problem the United States is facing right now. Due to the pandemic and supply chains, there are many people going after few goods. This causes people to pay and buy more of the same goods. When people see something as scarce they are also likely to see it as more valuable. Sales people use this as a tool because a deal will go away or since there is only a certain amount of something it is exclusive.
Look at what influences you. Most people are influenced by pain and pleasure. People want to move out of pain and into pleasure. Then you can add in the concept of time. Are you moving towards short term pleasure and long term pain or are you moving into short term pain and long term pleasure. Very often you must grow through short term growing pains to get to long term pleasure. When seeing what influences know where it will lead you in the long term. Do not sacrifice your long term happiness or have regrets in your life.
When you want more then you need to ask more out of yourself. You need to ask more out of God. Ask for more problems or opportunities. Ask for more out of your job. Ask for more pay. Everyone can ask for more but you won’t get it unless you ask and deserve more. Know this ask what you can do to deserve more. Ask how you can be of more service. Ask how you can deliver more value. Ask how you can be stronger, wealthier, healthier and a better partner. Asking better questions will give you better answers.
When people are looking for something to buy they want to buy from someone with the same values. People seek out brands because the brand is congruent with who they are. When creating a product understand who your market is and what their values are.
What are their lifestyle habits? What is their income? What is their relationship status? What is their mood, their religion, their career?
Think of who you want to market too and be a brand people can get behind.
