I promised to share with how you can get whatever you want when you ask for it. That's a great tool to have at your disposal. See The Video #62;#62; Click Orphanage Video#60;#60; As I mentioned to you the last time, I was in my village last December. A man came to me and asked me for some money. I don't recall how much it was but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. I say ridiculous because the man is not a family member. I don't even know him. Apparently he is not from my village. I said to him, "you must be kidding? Aren't you?" He went on to tell me that he was serious. Then he proceeded to share with a whole list of problems. He was on to something. Once he noticed that he was not going to get what he asked for, he immediately lower his request by something like 75%. That sounded very doable to me. Without a flinch, I gave him the money. He was happy. Well, 15 minutes later, it downed on me that the man used a very powerful strategies I had learned years ago. I picked it up while I was devouring books at the public library. Are you ready to learn what that strategy is? Great! Here it is... It's the law of comparison or contrast if you will. The way it works is very simple. And you can start using it today. When you want something, always ask for something much bigger. Let's say you need to borrow $1,000 dollars from a friend. You might want to ask for $7,000 or more. Once your friend flinches, you automatically drop your request to $1,000. You see, the mind must have options before it can compare and decide. Supposed you want a raise? Instead of asking for what you want, ask for far more than you think you can get. Then drop your request significantly. You'll have a far better chance in getting what you want. Simply put, always plant a big number in the person's brain before you drop the lower number. Make sense? It's like in business. You ask for a high price. Then you lower it on the spot to a price that's ridiculously low. That's called "the irresistible offer". Remember the television ad? Yeah, the price for today is $900. But if you act today, you can get this, that and the other for only $97. When Ugly Isn't That Ugly After All. Well, maybe your car is average to you now or somewhat ugly. But if you take that same car and put it next to a very ugly and beat car, you might notice that your average car is suddenly very beautiful. Have you ever heard the saying that you never know what you have until you lose it? It's because you have to something to compare what you had with. Alright, that's all I wanted to share with about this. Also I told you about the Christmas dinner I had with 28 kids at an orphanage in Haiti. To them it was the best Christmas they've ever had. They thanked me profusely for giving them so much for that Christmas. But in reality, I should be the one thanking them. They made that Christmas the best ever for me. They sang, danced and performed for me. They hugged me and made me feel so appreciative. So, I want to share with you one of the songs they sang that brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy it!

I think the last time we touched base was about a month ago. I do get lots of email from some of you asking me if I have been hiding. Hiding? No. Let's Start the Conversation. I want to know your feedback =#62;Click Here I'm just out there seeking my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and making a difference at the same time. I really love the making-a-difference part. Talking about instant gratification! You get off stage, people in your audiences start telling you what they will do differently to change their current situation. You know what? Many times it's not because of something I said. It's because of something I didn't say. It's because of something that makes them think of the solutions to their problems on their own. That's why I believe we each can be a catalyst for change. Of course, my speeches always, in some ways, communicate to the reader that if I can do it, you can, too. And, it's usually after they hear how I fought, battled and overcame poverty and sickness in tiny Haitian village. Basically, I tell them enough excuses or trying to get your all ducks I a row. The situation is never going to get as right as you want it to be. I say to them. Just start now and perfect as you go. How much more information do we need before we muster the courage to start? How much more information do we need before we can step into the light and go for the promotion; start the business; and do the things we are afraid of? The answer is NONE. Yes, you need solid and useful information to help get there faster. But you can acquire the information as you go. Does that make any sense to you? Yes? Speaking of information... Why is it that we are drawing in a sea of information yet we continue to starve for more? Why it is that we are so confused? If so much information is available to use for free, why then do we continue to beat a path to the guru's door? There are several reasons. You see, the mind is silly. We love free stuff but yet inherently we know free is not good. In fact most people judge quality based on whether what they are getting is free, cheap or expensive. Here's what often happens to us: Since we can get so much information for free, we quickly dismiss it as useless. Another reason is the information we are getting often has no emotion to it. Or, shall I say no stickiness to it? There's not enough creative adaptation to it. It's not well organized. And it isn't in a format that fires up our inspiration engine. Basically, it isn't so much about the message; it's about the messenger. And this is a whole topic in and of itself. The sad commentary about all of this is too much of useless, dull and uninspired information distracts us from focusing on really what matters. A good example is the email addiction. I know something about. Hey, I struggle with it, too. Alright, on with something inspirational... As you might recall, last December I told you I was going to Haiti to have Christmas dinner with 28 poor kids at an orphanage. Did I tell about that dinner already? Maybe not. My first stop was in a city called Cayes. There I visited an orphanage for three days in a row. Then I headed to my beloved village. Since I didn't have the time to set up two dinners back to back, I decided to share some dinero money with my fellow villagers. By the way, I have a very powerful technique I want to share with you next time. It's a persuasion technique to help you get what you ask for every time. A fellow villager tried it on me as if I didn't know what he was doing. Though, I kind of forgot about it until he laid it on me. I'll make a note to share it with you next time. It's a psychological trigger. Hint: it's about the Law of comparison. Anyway, It was the best Christmas ever for me! I had the time of my life with those kids.
