HOW TO ENHANCE THE POWER OF YOUR MIND

You know all about the Law of Attraction, but have you heard of the Raikov Effect?
If you haven’t heard about this Russian success technique, you’re not the only one. In fact, I just recently learned how it came about and you’re going to want to read this...
The story is fascinating.


Back in the 1970s, a Russian neuropsychologist named Vladimir Raikov was experimenting with hypnosis on his Moscow students to have them take on the mindset of another person by simply using their brain.
His technique focused on pretending and acting like geniuses, such as Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Sigmund Freud so that the students could take on their genius-level mindset and access their ways of thinking.
His technique of extracting information and ideas by “pretending” you are someone else astounded researchers and it became known as the Raikov Effect.
The method has been refined throughout the years and today you can use it to tap into the skills and abilities of any genius to enhance the power of your OWN mind.
While I was learning about the Raikov Effect, I noticed how similar it was to the Law of Attraction, where you must visualize yourself and take on the mindset you would have if you achieved your goals — except this method amplifies the Law of Attraction to focus on your creativity and intelligence using someone else who has achieved their goals.
Imagine the thought processes Da Vinci went through to become the world’s most renowned artist or how Einstein used his genius intelligence to formulate unthinkable theories.
What kinds of accomplishments and successes would you achieve?
Imagine no more...

NEED TO BUILD SELLING RELATIONSHIP

Did you know that building and maintaining long-term selling relationships is the key behavior and skill of the Top 10% of all money earners in sales? 
If you could take everything we know about communications, put it all in a large pot, boil it and distill it down into its critical essence, it's about the importance of relationships in successful selling.

The Reason for Success

Most of your success in life will depend on your ability to get along well with other people, and on the quality of your relationships. Psychologist Sidney Jourard, found that 85 percent of a person's happiness in life comes from happy interactions with other people. The reverse holds true as well: 85 percent of a person's unhappiness or problems in life comes from difficulties in getting along with others.

Sell to Many People

Anyone can sell to a few people, some of the time.
But only the very best human relations experts can sell to a wide variety of people, and sell to them repeatedly. The only way that you can make the kind of big money that you desire is by selling more easily, and more often, to the prospects you talk to -- then having those prospects open doors to others through testimonials and referrals.
All top salespeople build and maintain high quality business (and personal) relationships with their customers and sell to them repeatedly year after year.

Decide Emotionally, Justify Logically

We are all sensitive to the quality of our relationships with other people. We are primarily emotional and we make most of our decisions on the basis of how we feel inside.
We may carefully consider all of the logical and practical reasons why or why not with regard to buying a product or service, but in the final analysis we tend to go with our gut feeling. We listen to our inner voices. We obey our hearts. We buy on the basis of how we feel about the relationship that we have with the other person. Where there is no relationship, there is no sale.

Focus on the Key Variable

Everything that you ever learned of value in the profession of selling, regarding your product or service, or personality, is only helpful to the degree to which it contributes to the building of high quality relationships with customers.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.
First, become a relationship expert in sales. Focus first on the relationship, above all, and the sale will take care of itself.
Second, take care of your relationships once you have built them. Never take them for granted.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR EMPLOYEES, OR YOUR COMPETITORS WILL!

When a new employee starts, we as managers already have their loyalty for hiring them, for giving them a chance. New starters come with enthusiasm, energy and readiness to move mountains.
That loyalty and enthusiasm can fizzle out quickly.
We lose loyalty if we do not understand what it is
Loyalty is "about showing up, being on time, being reliable, doing what you say you’re going to do, being trustworthy, putting in a fair day’s work, respecting the work, respecting the customer, respecting the organization, respecting co-workers, not wasting time, not making work hard for other people, not creating unnecessary work for other people, not being a bottleneck, not faking work." Jason Fried, CEO of Basecamp
It is about telling us what we need to hear, not what we want to hear.
They disagree privately.
They support our decisions publicly.
We lose loyalty if we ask employees for something that they do NOT owe us:
their health, their integrity, their sanity, their peace of mind, and their family: like asking them skip recitals and teachers conferences.
We lose loyalty if we hold them back from advancement
We lose loyalty if we run for cover when they need us most
We lose loyalty if we promote wrong people
We lose loyalty if we do not let them pursue their passion
We lose loyalty if we do not find time to help them despite our own problems
Strong people stand up for themselves.
Strong leaders stand up for others.
Do you agree ?

THE SINGLE GREATEST OBSTACLE TO SUCCESS IN ADULT LIFE

Did you know that the fear of failure is the single greatest obstacle to success in adult life?
Taken to its extreme, we become totally pre-occupied with not making a mistake, with seeking approval for security above all other considerations. We are essentially paralyzed from moving forward or taking action.
The experience of the fear of failure is in the words of "I can't", "I can't."
We feel it in the front of the body, starting at the solar plexus and moving up to the rapid beating of the heart, rapid breathing and a tight throat. We also experience this fear in the bladder and a feeling of needing to run to the bathroom.

The Fear of Rejection Holds You Back

The second major fear that interferes with performance and inhibits expression, is the fear of rejection. We learn this when our parents make their love conditional upon our behavior. If we do what pleases them, they give us love and approval. If we do something they don't like, they withdraw their love and approval-which w

The Roots of Type A Behavior

As adults, people raised with conditional love become preoccupied with the opinions of others. Many men develop Type A behavior which is characterized by hostility, suspicion and an obsession with performance to some undetermined high standard.
This is expressed in the attitude of "I have to, I have to," and is associated with the feeling that "I have to work harder and accomplish more in order to please the boss" who has become a surrogate parent.

The Most Common Trap

More than 99 percent of adults experience both these fears of failure and rejection. They are caught in an endless cycle trap of, "I can't, but "I have to," "I have to," but "I can't."

The Key to Peak Performance

The antidote to these fears is the development of courage, character and self-esteem. The opposite of fear is actually love, self-love and self-respect. Acting with courage in a fearful situation is simply a technique that boosts our regard for ourselves to such a degree that our fears subside and lose their ability to effect our behavior and our decisions.

Action Exercises

Here are two things you can do to increase your self-esteem and self-confidence and overcome your fears.
First, realize and accept that you can do anything you put your mind to. Repeat the words, "I can do it! I can do it!" whenever you feel afraid for any reason.
Second, continually think of yourself as a valuable and important person and remember that temporary failure is the way you learn how to succeed.
