This recording is slightly longer than usual, but when you have the opportunity to listen to Dave share his wisdom you never want to cut it short.
Tip # 1: It’s so important to look after your psychology, your mindset and how you think. You’ve got to find ways to keep optimistic and stay motivated every day, however at last weekends Business Black Ops, guest speaker Jocko Willink explained that motivation is fine, but being disciplined is far more important.
Tip # 2: Brendon mention that you can only go so far yourself in achieving high performance, but eventually you have to persuade people, and influence them to help you adopt your dreams…HOWEVER (Now Dave shares what he really thinks).
Persuasion and influence and two entirely different things. Persuasion is hard, you’ve got to get people looking at things in a new way and think about things from a new perspective, but to be influential is ultimately what you want.
To be persuasive you really want to know what they want. Their wants and needs, and what their dreams are. Find the intersection and deliver to them what they really want and need and this builds trust.
When you use persuasion and you build trust, that’s when you can really influence someone. They will automatically come to you knowing you will honestly tell them what they need to know.
So yes become a more skilled persuader, but really focus on becoming more influential.
