Getting Others to Give You a Chance

Scott Smith - Motivation and Coaching
About this episode

Not a day passes by without someone asking, "How do I get another person to help me get what I want?"

Persuading others is one of the keys to getting what you want in life - and here's a big secret; it's NOT about you!

You'll get what you want faster by focusing on how you can help others solve their problem - and "Ladder of Desire."

This is how it works:

1) Most folks lecture others. That's a low level of communication and rarely builds a real connection.

2) A more practical solution is showing others how and explaining how to solve their problem. 

3) The most powerful is to offer to take care of their dilemma for them. That is the top rung of the 'Ladder of Desire.' Everybody wants their problems to disappear. Make that happen, and you'll be a Hero!

When you follow this approach, you make friends, prove your value, and are more likely to have your favor returned. Do good first.
