Beginning Persuasion: Starting With The Basics

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler."-Henry David Thoreau

My daughter, Victoria, is becoming a beautiful pianist. Beginning piano students have a huge body of knowledge to learn-how to read music, hand position, tempo, foot pedals, where on the keyboard to place their hands. It takes lots and lots of effort to make a piece sound effortless. Students are not simply given a Beethoven Piano Sonata and expected to put it all together at once and play it.

Even advanced pianists learn pieces hands alone--learning one hand separate from the other--eventually putting them together to play the piece.

There's a long road from beginning student to a sonata.

As with many disciplines, in music, as in persuasion, learning something deeply is about breaking things down to their elements and then practicing.

I think everything is powerful in its simplicity and when we start junking it up with too much complexity, that's when it goes awry.

Looking back at all the trainers and teachers in this field who weren't successful, I find that the main problem they faced was making things too complex, too soon. Humans are impatient. We want results now, now, now, but many of us don't understand that results come as a result of practice.

Even to this day I drill myself on the basics. Mastery of the simple details, the patterns, the embedded commands, the pacing, the leading. . . these are all ingredients that when combined become delicious persuasion.

After working and working on the fundamentals, the separate pieces, all of the sudden I noticed huge advancements. More and more complex patterns easily and naturally began to happen.

The most profound things in the world are very simple. When you master the simple things, more and more you'll find the big things come together with ease.

Take a few moments and evaluate the core of what you're persuading people to do. What are the simple principles? Focus on these, and watch your results begin to climb.
