Dale Carnegie on How to Win Friends and Influence People | 10 Best Ideas Book Summary (PART II)

11 Questions That May Change Your Life: http://www.clarkkegley.com/download/ The Most successful leaders all have one thing in common: They’ve read “How to Win Friends and Influence People” Today we have PART II of the book summary and book review on "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie.This book will rock your communication. Dale Carnegie's classic public speaking and interpersonal communication book, how to win friends and influence people is packed full of actionable ideas and takeaways. You might also consider getting the full book for this – it’s killer! Here are the best 10 ideas from “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie (PART II) FULL BLOG POST: (coming soon) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/29XwSTc ★★★ BEST 10 IDEAS ★★★ 1. Don’t Criticize Condemn or Complain Puts everyone on defensive. Some people grow through praise, others through criticism. 2. Arouse In The Other Person An Eager Want There are 3 motivations: First two are push / pull. Think of carrot or stick. Avoid pain or go towards pleasure. Third is above both those. Higher motivation. Third is your why - often gets overlooked. Driving force behind everything we do. For ourselves need a why that makes you cry (read Start With Why). 3. Smile Shows people two things: 1. You are happy (as if having good time) 2. Friendly (oddly enough in animal kingdom means threat, but hey - humans are weird) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/29XwSTc 4. Be a Good Listener. Encourage Others to Talk About Themselves. EX: My mom, “making friends is easy. you just smile and ask questions about the other person.” Everyone has that ONE area they can get wound up on and just GO. Lights them up. EX: My grandma quiet farm woman, get her ranting about conspiracy theories and you’re there all day. TIP: Become an expert at finding that secret passion everyone has. Ask questions! 5. Make The Other Person Feel Important - and Do It Sincerely EX: Jim Kwik my friend. Bill Clinton - amount of presence he brings shocking. and he’s highest ever can get in world! Still does this! EX: Say, “your right, NAME” or “You’re so right about that, NAME” or “You hit it on the head when you said ____” GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/29XwSTc 6. The Only Way to Get The Best of An Argument is to: A) Avoid it! B) Show Respect For the Other Person’s Opinions. Never say “You’re wrong.” C) If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically. (sincere apology) D) Begin in a friendly way. 7. Be Sympathetic With The Other Person’s Ideas and Desires. "Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.” - Dale Carnegie 8. Begin With Praise and Honest Appreciation. Massage people into conversations. Ease into something 9/10 works better. Foreplay before you get to the meat. Even if most of us define as “no b.s / straight shooter / no beat around bush small talk” person - different when it’s personal! Harder to do. Compliment sandwich. Praise - criticism - praise. 9. Call Attention to People’s Mistakes Indirectly. How do you give negative feedback without sounding like a jerk? or asshole? EX: Swap “BUT” for “AND” EX: “We’re really proud of you, Justin, for getting better grades this quarter. But if you worked harder in your math class, you would’ve done better.” vs. “We’re really proud of you, Justin, for getting better grades this quarter, and if you continue to work just as hard next quarter, your math grade could be as high as all the others.” 10. Praise The Slightest Improvement and Praise Every Improvement.

Tony Robbins on "Unlimited Power" |10 Best Ideas Book Summary

11 Questions That May Change Your Life: http://www.clarkkegley.com/download/ How do you find your true purpose, design a life you’re constantly proud of, and live with non stop passion? discovering it in this week's book review “Unlimited Power”. The New Science of Personal Achievement" Unlimited Power is an awesome book by Tony Robbins. This book summary and book review of "Unlimited Power" will go over the BEST 10 IDEAS from Anthony Robbins' book. You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this – it’s great. FULL BLOG POST: (coming soon) MP3 DOWNLOAD: (coming soon) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2fnZjk5 MASTER JOURNALING: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ 1. MODELING “Success Leaves Clues” - Jim Rohn Modeling comes from “NLP” - main “new idea” (at time) of this book. No one who’s successful was born that way. Pathway they used - model it get similar results. Sow similar seed get similar rewards. Musicians = model scales. Painters = reproduce masterpieces. Kids = alphabet. Drums = cover songs. Who are your heroes? How can you model them? 11 Questions to change life ebook. 2. SUCCESS CYCLE All success can be broken into four steps: POTENTIAL - ACTIONS - RESULTS - BELIEFS - wind this bad boy up as fast as possible! Roger BANISTER SUCCESS STORY: On may 5, 1954 - conventional wisdom said it was impossible to run a mile in under 4-minutes. Never been done. Next day Rodger Bannister ran the mile in 3:59.4 - then 6 weeks later Australian ran it one second faster! Since 1954, 14 others have broken the 4 minute mile. Previous year alone - about 50 people broken it! Even high schoolers. 3. RAISE YOUR STANDARDS We get in life what we settle for. Everyone gets their “musts”. Not everyone gets their “should” “I should workout more. I should invest ore money. I should find a way to peruse music. I should tell partner I love them more. I should spend time with family” stop should-ing on yourself! Secret to lasting change is transforming should to musts. 4. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION Decision happen in a moment - getting ourselves to make a change that takes time. EX: In relationship, where you KNEW it wasn’t right for you. Complete wrong person. Either of you? But you couldn’t make the hard call. Take years? Months? Eventually you did and felt weight lifted. Cakes years to take action. QUOTE: “If you keep doing what always done, keep getting always got”For things to change, we’re going to have to change. It’s our moment to moment decisions that shape our lives. 5. QUOTES Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers. A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided. We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish. 6. GROWTH GROW OR DIE. everything in life growing or dying. Progress is what makes us feel alive. Any job you had, felt somewhat stimulating at first. No matter what job it was, day one felt shorter than day 100? Why was that - what is BOREDOM. It’s when you stop growing / learning. 7. SECRET TO LIVING IS GIVING All this personal achievement means nothing if we’re not sharing. Give to get. 1 + 1 = 3 (Wayne Dyer) (how serration in our brains works) 8. SUFFERING COMES FROM FOCUSING ON YOU If you’re feeling depressed, if you’re suffering, if you’re anxious it’s because of a one thing. A ME FOCUS. Suffering is a ME focus. Selfish - all about you. 9. BEST RESOURCES TO LEARN MORE TED Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpc-t-Uwv1I Program: http://www.clarkdanger.com/resources/ Book: http://amzn.to/2fnZjk5 10. APPLICATION OF THIS Remember, ideas a worthless. Knowledge is potential power. ACTION is what real change comes from. Take action on this. I remember hearing these ideas back at 16 - no clue how to take action, just started writing them down. Kept refining that method of success journal - 8 years later I put it into UGTKAJ course, get at MBJ.com - best ways to take action on these ideas.

FULL BLOG POST: (coming soon) MP3 DOWNLOAD: (coming soon) GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2dh5FfK MASTER JOURNALING: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ 1. FIXED MINDSET "A fixed mindset comes from the belief that your qualities are carved in stone – who you are is who you are, period. Characteristics such as intelligence, personality, and creativity are fixed traits, rather than something that can be developed." "NOW" mindset CHALLENGE avoids OBSTACLES gives up EFFORT minimal CRITICISM avoids SUCCESS OF OTHERS feels threatened 2. GROWTH MINDSET "A growth mindset comes from the belief that your basic qualities are things you can cultivate through effort. Yes, people differ greatly – in aptitude, talents, interests, or temperaments – but everyone can change and grow through application and experience." "NOT YET" mindset CHALLENGE embraces OBSTACLES fortitude EFFORT works hard CRITICISM learns SUCCESS OF OTHERS celebrates 3. PROGRESS MINDSET How our brain works shows that less about getting things right and more about progress. Something we all know - go to the gym can't lift 300lbs off the bat. Keep showing up get stronger and stronger. 4. HEALTH FIXED: Health consulting and podcasting - get all the time: I'm fat. I'm genetically disadvantage. I'm big boned. No diets work for me. Guys trying to get bigger, "all genetics" GROWTH: I CAN change this! This is where I get serious. Going to model successful weight loss stories/ etc. 5. SPORTS MICHAEL PHELPS Won 25 medals! record for ANY olympian of ANY time in HISTORY. As a kid diagnosed with ADHD. Kindergarten teacher told mother “Michael can’t sit still / quiet / not gifted / never be able to focus on anything”. Michael spend lots of punishment time by lifeguard stand of pool disruptive behavior. Flash forward today his coach Bob Bowman (been with M since 11) says “Michael’s ability to focus = strongest attribute”. Utilized selected focus. From 14 onward trained 7 days / wk 365. Training Sundays got extra 52 days yr. Spent up to 6hrs a day swimming. FIXED: I can’t focus - screw this. GROWTH: I want this - keep showing up. Training 7 days a week. 6. BUSINESS FIXED: My channel - "Nothing works". Discouraged and ready to quit. GROWTH: Realization that the only real metric that matters is growth. As long as the growth percentage rate is increasing - everything will follow. Over time. So i decided to hustle and push myself harder than I had ever pushed. Model successful channels, see what works here (book summaries), make it less about me and what I want to talk about - more about you and fill a need. Over 6 months channeled doubled. On track to double every 3 months. Have +4,000 subscribers a month growth vs. back in March had +300. 7. MONEY FIXED: I'm POOR - I can't afford it GROWTH: I'm BROKE - how can I afford it? 8. RELATIONSHIPS FIXED: Mindset in relationship: "Never find love again” “I’m unlovable” “Im a bad person they didn’t want to be with”. FIXED: If we have to work at it, means we're not good together. or Blame partner for everything. GROWTH: "Good you broke up, only have so much time / room in your life - now you have that to find a healthier person for you. Wouldn’t want to be with anyone who didn’t want to be with us!” GROWTH: How am I that? Always 2 sides no matter how thin slice it. 9. TWO MOST DANGEROUS WORDS Carol Dweck talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiiEeMN7vbQ 10. GET ON YOUR OWN TEAM How to change your mindset? One of ways: Coach yourself!

Here are the best 10 ideas from “Think And Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/2chCaz5 MASTER JOURNALING: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ (2:15) 1. MINDSET The real thing that will make you rich is your mindset. Focus on modeling how successful people think. Thoughts ARE things. (3:00) 2. DESIRE Want it bad enough - it becomes an obsession. "Burn the ships" mentality video: https://youtu.be/6NjEC03ia6I BILL GATES: 10 years in cubicle grinding it out - no one shows this. STEVE HARVY: Homeless sleeping in his car driving to gigs that paid $50 - gas was $30. Becoming successful does not come without work or sacrifice. (6:00) 3. FAITH Fake it till you make it advice: “Dress for job you want, not job you have” BETTER ADVICE: Act as IF. Get this into your MIND! Think AS IF it has already happened. (8:00) 4. TWO QUOTES “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” (9:20) 5. SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE Two kinds of knowledge: GENERAL vs. SPECIALIZED Become the "Linchpin" - the thing they CAN’T OUTSOURCE will make you rich. JOURNAL QUESTION: What is something YOU and ONLY you can do? (11:00) 6. ORGANIZED PLANNING Achievement. “Grow rich” massive goal - takes lifetime. How do we stay motivated on the day to day? Solution - make it NEAR to you. HOW to achieve BIG goals? Break into small ones. EXAMPLE: You want to get 6 pack abs. Currently 30b overweight and don’t exercise. Possible! First step? Get gym membership. Next? Get online program / coach / trainer. Next? Lose 3 lb. Then 6 lbs. Then 10 lbs. Celebrate THOSE wins. Keep fine tuning / learning = better results. NEED to just START. EXAMPLE: Travel SEA. First step? Save money - buy ticket - research lonely planet - all separate goals break into smallest step. Our brain built for milestones! check lists / to do boxes LAST THING: My mentor tells me: Clark, NEVER leave site of setting a goal without doing something twoards it’s attainment. Take the FIRST step NOW. Literally buy a program online - sign up for gym today - buy book online - etc. (14:50) 7. PERSISTENCE STAY WITH IT. NO goals happen overnight. Ditch the “big break” mentality (i.e. ONE thing missing. ONE deal make you rich. ONE blog post go viral. ONE diet lose hundreds, etc). Don’t look for your “BIG BREAK” - create it. How create it? Do the work, show up! (17:00) 8. MASTER MIND You are AVG. of top 5 people hang around. Get a group of people together for specific purpose. Learn from their 20/30 years of complete different experience and life. (Private mastermind facebook group coming soon). (19:15) 9. BECOME BORED THINK and grow rich. Requires HARD work do the deep dive. “all of man’s problems arise with his discontentment of being able to sit in a room alone” -Seneca Do the work. Active form of boredom by journaling: http://www.mybestjournal.com (21:00) 10. JOURNAL WORKSHOP MONEY FROM CH. 2 1. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. 2.

Top Affirmations and Mindsets I have a right to exist. I am of high value to myself. I have a right to honor my needs and wants, to treat them as important. I am not here on earth to live up to someone else’s expectations; my life belongs to me. (Also, no one is here to live up to my expectations.) I do not regard myself as anyone else’s property and I do not regard anyone else as my property. I am lovable. I am admirable. I deserve to be treated courteously and with respect by everyone. If people treat me discourteously or disrespectfully, it is a reflection on them, not on me. It is only a reflection on me if I accept their treatment of me as right. If someone I like does not return my feeling, it may be disappointing or even painful, but it is not a reflection of my personal worth. No other individual or group has the power to determine how I will think and feel about myself. I am worthy of happiness. I am “enough”. I am able to rise again from defeat. I have a right to make mistakes; that is one of the ways I learn. Mistakes are not grounds for self-damnation.

This book summary and book review of The Way of The Superior Man will go over the BEST 10 IDEAS from David Deida's book. You might also consider getting the full book or audiobook for this – it’s killer! Here are the best 10 ideas from “The Way of The Superior Man” by David Deida GET THE BOOK: http://amzn.to/28V2tIY MASTER JOURNALING: http://www.mybestjournal.com ★★★ BIG 10 IDEAS ★★★ (2:00) 1. POLARITY Polarity - Masculine and Feminine - Night / day. - Black + white / color - Up / down - hot / cold - east / west - moon / sun This is what creates ATTRACTION - magnets. (0:00) 2. Stop Hoping For Completion If you’re not doing it right now - probably won’t ever do it. Success fantasies - can be the REASON you hurt and the reason you don't take action. (0:00) 3. Live At Your (REAL) Edge (don’t fake it) 32,850 - number of days from birth to 90 y.o. Lean just beyond edge. Small gains. Gym - increase slowly. Safety path (educate 20 / work 40 / retire 20) vs. Danger path (risk it all) (0:00) 4. Never Change Your Mind to Please Your Woman Or anyone for that matter Safety mechanism - b/c if your idea fails = ALL on you. If change mind = safety of blaming someone else. BUT if it succeeds = you DON’T feel confident (not your idea). Add stock to your own decision making skills, not others. (0:00) 5. Discover Your Purpose Today Know Thyself - True North - You and Only You Can Do! Discover your STRENGTHS today! Martin Seligman “Know your strengths, use them often” Authentichappiness.com - strengths finder (24 sig. strengths) (0:00) 6. Enjoy Your Friends Criticism “You are the AVG of top 5 people you hang around most” We can be too close to ourselves / need objective perspective Someone who knows you WELL - willing to call you out. (0:00) 7. Do Not Use Your Family As An Excuse S.E.A. - travel saw people from EVERYWHERE. Hostel. People who “didn’t fit mold” (eat pray love / infinity sign tattoo / granola hippie whole foods) Are you willing to give up excuses? Everyone has eliminated the excuses traveling = why people get along so well! Never going to get easier. NEED to start TODAY. (0:00) 8. Praise Her #17 - Praise Her Freely Men grow throw challenge (jump fence / lift weight / dare you to X) Women grow through praise (X looks great on you / so pretty) Both superficial - deeper in relationships. She NEEDS praise form you. NO MR. FIX IT. Just wants to be listened to and encouraged - not fixed. Speaking to your woman, call glass half full not half empty. Praise qualities you want to see GROW (0:00) 9. Live As If Your Father Was Dead Baggage from dad - Kid who looked to others of what to do. “What we should do” - get rid of those expectations (0:00) 10. Hear Her Complaints As Warning Bells #31 Her Complaint is Content Free When a woman “nags” should be taken as “get it together” Trying to make you better. Deeper issue. Not that you didn’t clean the garage when you said you would 2 weeks ago - that she can’t trust you + you don’t keep word. No follow through - flake. Lack of integrity. Your word is your bond - your masculine core - your integrity - the polarity that’s attractive!
