Keeping It Simple: Persuasion For Beginners

By:


"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 is a piano student. At first, when beginning any instrument, students have to learn a number of things from reading music to understanding tempo to really grasping the emotion of a piece. All of these things to into music. It's not common that a person can hear a piece once and then sit down to play it as if they've been practicing for years.

Even an advanced player learns a piece 'hands alone', as in, learning the right hand separately from the left hand and then, eventually, putting them together.

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

The secret to learning anything well is to break the subject down to its elements and practice, practice, practice. This is true for many disciplines from piano to persuasion.

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.

There are many people in the world of persuasion who have not succeeded--trainers and teachers, speakers and students. I believe the reason they weren't able to succeed is because they didn't break things down to the simplest form and 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.

Simplicity is profound. And when you are able to master the small steps, the simple basics, you'll find more and more that the bigger picture comes into focus.

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.
