Persuasion & Faith Are The Kings & Queens Of The World
Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Welcome or welcome back to Success with Srini. On the podcast episode today, I want to carry forward the conversation I started nearly 11 days ago on how our thoughts design our destiny.
Yesterday, I celebrated Les Giblin, I insisted that you should get the book, How to Have Confidence and Power in Dealing with People. This book by Les Gibson, changed my life when I read it for the very first time, when I was starting my journey in self improvement. Numerous times I’ve read this book, I had multiple copies of this book, I bought this book to only give it away on radio. Get the book, your life will change. Okay, let’s take the conversation forward. Today I want to share 10 Principles of Persuasion. See, at the end, all you need is influence and persuasion. Those are the two things higher influence and better at being persuading people. If you get these two things, right, you got whatever life you got going. And you’ll have more money, more happiness, more joy, more fulfillment, all of that. So these are the two precursors for anything that you are doing or you will be doing in life. These two things, okay.
10 secrets I have collected over these years working with people. And these are the 10 things that you’ll need to win. Okay, let’s get into this. Number one, people tend to believe what they need to believe. To persuade them build up, whatever you have to offer, you have to build it up. That’s the message. Number two, to change another individual’s viewpoint, show them how your way will reward them more than their present way. Number three, a promise is the most persuasive tool. People use different, difficult, complex words. Promise is the most powerful persuasion tool. Present people with an exciting picture of what they can expect to gain and they will be on your side. Okay. Number four. Take the attitude in your mind that it is easier to influence people than you may think. Honestly speaking, it is. It is very easy to influence people, it’s not hard. Number five, backup, whatever you’re saying. Whatever you’re offering, whatever you are giving, with an absolute, confident personality. People are reading your confidence. The next one, keep your appeals simple, and to the point to oversight. Don’t undersell it, keep it simple to the point. The next one, create an atmosphere of friendliness and relaxation. Prove to the other person that you are here to give them something not simply to take away something. Next one, concentrate wholeheartedly on the principles of persuasion. In other words, concentrate on everything that I said from the start of this podcast till now and take it into your heart. And the last one here. If somebody has an objection, most of the times people are very strong with their objections, and oftentimes they are unreasonable with their objections. Quietly step aside and let it pass by harmlessly. Don’t take it into your heart.
Okay, those are the 10 things that I would do to win. I do that to win every day, every day. Okay. Thomas Carlyle said, “Not brute force but only persuasion and faith are the kings of this world.” You have a wonderful day, wherever you are. If you’re starting your day or you’re closing your day. Take this into your heart, start applying these starting from tomorrow. You’ll be amazed how your life is going to change in just a matter of days. That’s all for now. You take care, and I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Bye now.
Praise Is Known To Create Wonders
Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Welcome or welcome back to Success with Srini. On today’s podcast episode, I am sharing something that I learned many, many years ago from my book from an incredible author. Towards the end of this episode, I will tell you the book, and I’m sure you’re going to get this book, you will read this book. Somehow I had that feeling.
When I heard for the first time about this book, I got my hands on it. So if you are a success minded individual, you will also do the same. Okay, for the last few days on this podcast, have been talking about how our thoughts create our destiny. I took Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu’s quote and I kept on expanding on it. It was all about why we need to focus on our thoughts, and our words and our actions. And today, I want to share with you how to develop the skill of using the right words, or saying the right words, it’s a skill. So today’s podcast episode is the how, and the last 10 days were all about why.
Anybody who’s listening to you, is listening because they want something.
The first, the foremost thing. Anybody who’s listening to you, is listening because they want something. Your spouse, your manager, your co workers, your children. Everybody wants something from you, unconsciously the brain is. If I’m talking to this person, what is there in it for me, every conversation, every word that they’re hearing or listening from you is what is in it for me? So if I’m doing this podcast right now, your brain, your brain unconscious brain is asking what is in it for me? What do I learn by listening to today’s podcast episode, or listening to Srini? Or to this podcast? I’m subscribed. I’m listening to this. What is it for me? Guess what, what we do? We always talk about ourselves, our brain always talks about ourselves. I’m very careful about it. Even today, after like 15 years, doing 20 years, nearly on stage, 12 years, nearly 12 years on radio. I always try to check myself, I want to guard myself my thoughts because I don’t want to get on a microphone and talk about myself. I see people do. They talk about themselves. I have done this, I’ve done that. And the best of the greatest. Nobody cares how great you are. Nobody cares about your story. But they will care about your story, if you care about their story.
So for example, if I ask you what’s the secret to success? How did you get here? What is it one thing that you want to share? What’s the one mistake you made? So that I can learn from a mistake? And I will stop making or repeating that mistake? How was your childhood? Tell me a little bit. A few words about your parents, a few words about your mentors, is what I’m talking about you. And when I talk about you, you are activating value to me. In a way, I’m raising your self esteem when I’m talking to you about you. When you’re expressing yourself, and somehow unconsciously, as a result of you raising your self esteem, that automatically happens, you are attributing value to me unconsciously. Yes, there is a place for you to talk about yourself. And the place is when you’re invited to talk about yourself. For example, I was invited to talk about my Everest expedition. Not a successful expedition. It’s a failed expedition, at least as of now. But I was invited to talk about it on a radio show. And I talked about my experience because I was invited to talk about it. There was an organization that invited me to talk about my Everest experience in person life. I went there I spoke about it for about 45 minutes. There was an audience that was expecting me to talk about my budget expedition and I did that I cannot talk about myself on this podcast. You are subscribed audience or you will be subscribed audience I want you to subscribe to a second line of thinking or a certain value that I provide I will not be providing any value talking about myself. So there is a place to talk not this place. If you want to really get people to comply or to agree with you, you need to agree with them.
In every disagreement, there is an agreement.
In every disagreement, there is an agreement. I like what you’re saying, I agree with you, I see your point, I understand what you’re saying, I see where you’re going with it. When you start using these lines of these words or these phrases, in any conversation, you’re unconsciously moving. The person who’s saying what they’re saying to your way. And by doing by saying these words you are creating, see, one of the human traits is we dislike people who disagree with us. And we like people who agree with us. So why not take that as an asset within which you are agreeing? In every disagreement, there is an agreement and your job is to seek that agreement. Every time I’ve seen somebody saying no, it part of them was always saying yes, my job is to look for that yes. And when you do that, you become an incredible influencer. And you will be loved by everyone. If you do that.
Happy talk.
The next one is happy talk. Your job is to always start, carry and end every conversation with a happy talk. Nobody wants to listen, that the whole world is going to collapse, the economy is going to collapse, everybody’s going to die, everything is going to break apart. None. Nobody is interested, everybody wants you to be happy, they expect a happy conversation from you. So go around and start having happy conversations. That’s the biggest secret in this podcast episode today. And if you are unable to start, carry and in any conversation, in a happy note, then you need to go meet a therapist and get help because your emotions are overriding your reality.
If you want to have great conversations in public, then you need to have a conversation with yourself.
Okay. This is an incredible one, the next one. If you want to have great conversations in public, then you need to have a conversation with yourself. By public I mean people around you, in your relationships, everybody outside of us is public. There’s nothing called private. You with you is private, you with anybody else’s public doesn’t matter how close the relationship is. In order for you to have an incredible conversation of public you need to have an incredible conversation in private. That is you with yourself. So here’s the technique, take a paper, write down everything that you want to tell yourself. For example, you had a bad day, you write down three and you had a bad day. It’s okay to have a bad day. It’s okay. Some people are unreasonable. It’s okay. The world is going to collapse. It’s okay. The economy is going to fail. Write a letter to yourself. read that letter. Like literally write don’t type this in on a computer, write it, read it. At the end, trash it. Start your next day with great emotions, resolve today’s emotions on the spot.
This is the biggest secret you know where I learned all this? As I told you in the beginning, from a book, I came across this wonderful book, How to Have Confidence and Power and Dealing with People by a legendary. What do I say, self improvement expert, philosopher, maybe. Somebody who changed the direction of success that would be appropriate. Les Giblin, Les Giblin, was born in 1912, led a difficult life he became a sales agent. And as he was selling door to door he started to study the human character. He started to study how people act and react and interact and picked up all those nuances and wrote this incredible book and many books he wrote four or five books, did many seminars how to have confidence and power in dealing people get this book, read the book. I read the book, everything that I’m saying on this podcast is flowing out of me because I read that book multiple times. And this book has sold nearly a million copies or more since it came out.
That’s all for now. Hopefully today’s podcast episode is helpful. If it is, then write a review. Read it, share it with your friends and family. And most importantly, please come back tomorrow. I have some more ideas have on share with you. That’s all take care. Bye now.
5 Secrets To Creating Positive Energy
Here is the complete transcript of the podcast
Welcome to Success with Srini. Before I get going with today’s podcast, I want to poke you, today is the February 1st of year 2022. 31 full days are gone for this year. There are only 11 more months left. So if you started out with some goals, with some resolutions with some ideas, with some ambitions for yourself for this year and beyond this year. Question is, how far are you into achieving them? Question for you. You don’t need to answer me, you got answer yourself. Okay, moving on.
I got a question, “I start my day, in a big way but then along the way I lose energy. Is there a secret to having positive energy?” That’s the question. I have a podcast episode that I did nearly a year and half ago, on this very topic, how to create positive energy, how to maintain positive energy. It was a very deep podcast. I thought of, kind of replaying that podcast today, as a part of today. But then I decided I shouldn’t. Because ever since I recorded that about a year and a half ago, two years ago, I have changed. My mindset has changed. I’m acquiring new ideas, new thoughts. I’m experiencing brain expansion. So I’m a different individual today than what I was two years ago, at least with my understanding. So I thought I’m going to answer this question in a different way, hopefully a different way.
1. Interact with nature.
Now, if you get the the old podcast episode, please listen to that one, too. Maybe there are some ideas there that I may not be covering on this one. But here is how I would approach this. This is what I do. By the way, it’s not my approach, this is what I do. The first the foremost thing I do is I interact with nature, at least once a day. Interacting with nature means that you put your head under the sky, you put your feet on the ground, and you may decide to put the body in the water. So go walk, go run, go jog, go hike, go swim, get out of the house, walk around, and keep changing the environment if you can. Right? Just pull yourself from the house, pull yourself from the car, and then put yourself under the sun or under the sky. So some interaction with nature.
2. Meditate.
The second thing, which actually is my first thing, which is when I start my day, early in the morning, 4:30, 4:45 then the first thing I do is I spent about 15 minutes just meditating. And that for me is spirituality. Okay? Now your spirituality could be a prayer, your spirituality could be with yourself a little bit, meditating or whatever. Whatever your definition of spirituality is. Spirituality is proven to induce positive energy, we already know that. Because the in that time you are directly in sync with your unconscious mind. And unconscious mind is the only pathway to your higher self or God, or whatever you believe in. So spirituality is in my list is number one but then that’s number two here as I’m going through, going through one of the first one in nature, second one is spirituality. If you would have asked me this 15 years ago, 20 years ago, specifically spirituality, I wouldn’t have given that much importance to it. Now, as I’m growing older by the day, and my children are beyond my shoulders now at this point. This is playing a big role. In fact, if this is the only thing I have to do in the day, and I don’t do anything else, I could maintain my entire mindset, a positive energy and a mindset throughout the day. So this is a much now where I stand with my life. But then please give spirituality also a room in your pursuit for positive energy.
3. Look back into your life.
The third one is a level of introspection within which you are looking back into your life. And all the good things that happened to you are nothing but blessings. So you’re counting them as blessings. The house you have, the car you have, the experience you have, the money you have, the connections you have, the relationships you have, all those are blessings along the way. If you just put your mind that way. Just kind of for a minute, think that everything you have is a blessing and everything that you have today was nothing but a thought many many years ago may not be exactly the same way. Maybe you wanted a different kind of a life but you got this but this one in itself is a blessing. You just kind of put that kind of an introspection in your thinking, now you have a different level of energy flowing through the body.
4. Find an excuse to help someone.
The next one I would do is find an excuse to help someone. This could be your children, your spouse, your manager, your coworker, your employees, your clients, whoever you can just one act of help. Maybe this is an act of you just being volunteering something by just giving your time away or something like that, some money. I don’t know. This is very, very personal thing and I cannot specifically tell you what it is, because different people have different definitions for this. Help means a different takes a different position in each individual’s mind. But then, if you just engage in an act of helping someone who is in need, then that induces a different kind of energy. And this has to be done. Maybe once a day, maybe twice a day, once a week, it doesn’t matter. But it does create positive energy.
5. Engage in an act where you’re constantly shifting your perception.
And the last thing is, I would engage in an act where I’m constantly shifting my perception. So let’s say I perceive that something is not going to go right. I instantly tell myself, what if it goes right. Maybe I’m going to a meeting where a meeting somebody who I don’t like, what if I ended up liking that individual? What if you know I’m investing in something or I’m starting something or I’m buying something? My understanding is, maybe it’s not right. Maybe this is not something I should do now maybe this is something that I think I’m over expanding myself to do it or overspending myself to do it. What if it turns out to be the best? What if the conversation you are going to have is going to become the best? What if the podcast right now turns out to be the best? I don’t know. Shifting the perception, shipping the perception sometimes, in fact, talking about his podcast, I started the podcast and have a feeling this may not go right, I may have to do a retake. I may have to say something differently. But amazingly, I didn’t. I end up leaving the podcast as is. And at the end, I feel good about myself. Wow. Okay, so this came out, okay. I’m not saying everybody’s going like this, but at least I need to feel good about this. So by simply shifting the perception. So these days, my perception of the podcast is I turn the microphone on, I speak, I’m going to get the best. That’s the perception I have, why would I start with a negative perception when I’m trying to achieve something positive. And not only just the energy right? During this recording, but then I need to maintain the energy outside to wait after I’m done with this.
So that’s the mindset, these are some of the things that I suggest you do to get. First of all the positive energy you need, and then maintain that throughout the day. This as the start is hard. You have to go run, you have to go hike, you have to start meditating, or you have to start Yoga, you do whatever, all this is hard. But then you do it over a long period of time, it becomes second nature. This podcast started on January 3, officially a month done. And now we are in the second month hard when I started this became easier as I kept on doing it. And it comes to a point where this is becoming second nature. I don’t even think as I’m speaking. Of course, there are things like I may say something a couple of times here and there, I will repeat myself maybe I’m going to I have a thought where I’m expressing myself and then suddenly I shift my thoughts. So different kinds of words come in and will not close a loop with a thought with which I started a sentence all that is happening, it will happen. But then it becomes easy. So, in one of the earlier podcasts I talked about reputation and frequency, if you get a moment, just listen to that one, it should be there somewhere below this. You get the idea. You see perception is important. And perceiving that there are 1000s of listeners listening to the podcast. I just got the update this morning that for the month of January we were just shy of 1000 downloads of this podcast, which is okay. I can’t expect a lot because my effort is not that much. Some people put their entire life into podcast. I put my life into radio, but I did not intimate into the podcast I am now and my results will be here 5, 7, 10 years from now.
You see that’s how this works. That’s how this works. If you want to buy something without Looking, it’s price. You have to work, whatever work you’re doing without looking at the clock. I saw that code somewhere on Facebook a couple of days ago.
Okay, that’s it. Wherever you are, start your February 1 in an incredible and in an amazing way. Okay? So if you are sliding away, slipping from your deadlines and from your goals and from those thoughts that you had when you started the new year, go back to them. Bring back the energy, bring back the effort. And you’ll get back the engagement. You take care, I’ll talk to you soon. Bye now.
