Mastering the art of human connecting
Written by Brian Zimmerman
Have you ever wondered what made the greatest people in the world really great? I'm talking about Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie - people that really had influence and affluence in a way that could never really be explained unless you had the ability to ask the greats themselves. Over the past couple weeks, I've really been studying the great lives of some people in search of what made them the greats. I discovered something they all had in common. In fact, it's something that seems so easy, yet not too many people actually do it. It was the great ability to make people feel great about themselves. It was how they connected with other people.
When was the last time you really made someone feel great about themselves? I've discovered that in order to really get what we want in life and live a life of true discovery you need a mass following behind you. Without people pushing and assisting you to get what you want in life it becomes really challenging because its pretty tough to go about doing things on your own. So on your journey to greatness I suggest you start making people feel really important about themselves. I would no longer talk about people in negative ways. Further more, I'd suggest “speaking increase.”
When I talk about speaking increase you speak to people in a matter that is not fake. It needs to come from your heart. You'll discover that counterfeit money is only good for so long. Being counterfeit yourself in the way you communicate with people is about the same thing. You can only be counterfeit for so long. The great of our life time had the ability to make others around them feel great and feel important.
When you really study this subject you'll understand the greats had the ability to make others feel great about themselves and feel important. In fact research even shows that the main thing people want in life is the feeling of feeling important. You'll notice that there are people that join gangs in order to feel important. There are people that will do things in their lives for the soul reason to feel important.
When you understand that people just want to feel important you'll begin to have an advantage over others. [not saying you'll manipulate people] You'll understand that you want to make others feel important, which will lead you to discover that you need to give people what they want in order to get what you want. When you operate from this level you'll no longer have to sell to people if you previously used to push the sale on people. You'll live a easier life full of influence and affluence
