“These Experiences Impact Your
Annual Income.”
· 1. “But Pop, I get Bored fast. Don’t say it, ‘I have a limited
attention-span’. I remember. A goldfish has 9-seconds, and my generation has
only 8. Tell me something I can use.”
· 2. “I’ll tell you some stuff I learned this week Online. You stop me if
it’s irrelevant to your life. Just the top-5.”
· 3. “Yeah, a Chinese menu. I like options, multiple-choice & learning,
if-it-doesn’t-put-me-to-sleep.”
· 4. “Why is it better for you to see yourself as the Underdog in
school and at-work? Even in relationships and in making money?”
· 5. “See, that’s a loaded-question. The question tells me what to think –
I learned from you, not to let people Program me. The word, ‘Better’
influences me to say being the Underdog is the right-answer.”
· 6. “Pretty smart, Kid. Would you want to know more if the Subject-Line of
an email said,
· “Could You Use three (3) Shortcuts to Raise Your Annual Income
about 53%?”
· 7. “Wow, do you have those shortcuts?”
· 8. “Sure, but why would a rational person give something that powerful to
just anybody?” Critical-thinking, Mike. It’s a nice lie to rope you in,
bait-and-switch. When it’s too good…it’s no good.”
· 9. “Bull, you got it. You wouldn’t mislead me, or your readers. I wanna
know the 3-shortcuts, and I-will decide if it’s a fraud or really
worthwhile for me.”
· 10. “You are really getting good. Tell me, is your SpeedReading101
background the reason for your core improvement?”
· 11. “Indirectly. The faster I read, the MORE I read because it’s not
boring. The more I know and learn, the better I handle myself in school and
later at work.
· “Pop, I know I am making better decisions.”
· 12. “Mike, is this a ‘loaded-question’?
“Is Using a PowerPoint in your
presentation, good or bad
to convince, influence & persuade
individuals or groups?”
· 13. “I’ll play along Pop, I have never been to a lecture or presentation
where they did NOT use PowerPoint. So my answer is Good, even indispensable.
Right or wrong?”
· 14. “98% of presentations use PowerPoint. And it’s deadly harmful
to winning the hearts & minds of your audience of one or twenty-one folks”.
· 15. “This one I got to hear. PP is no good.”
· 16. “When you put PowerPoint on a screen so your audience of even a
one-on-one can see it, you create a distraction (clutter) for their
“Attention-Span”.
· 17. “Got it the first time. The brain does not multi-task well. Either
they give their learning concentration to you,
the speaker, or to the PowerPoint
slide.”
· 18. “There is only one-reason to use PP, and it’s legal.
To avoid a lawsuit from any Deaf
(hearing-impaired) organization about disability discrimination at your
workshops.
· Never use PP for one-to-three hearing folks. And Always tell the audience
to ignore the Wizard PP, and take notes instead. Do really get it?”
· 19. “Sure Pop, PP is your competitor for the attention &
comprehension of who you want to influence, right?”
· 20. “Get this one, and be a millionaire. You know that facts are dry and
put you to sleep. Stories are lively dialogue and arouse curiosity.
· People remember your Stories and the point they make for LIFE. And they
like you better for sharing the story.”
· 21. “Old-hat, so-what?”
· 22. “There is only one thing more powerful than a story. Don’t guess. It
is telling a slightly Funny story. If you can make a Homo sapiens s-m-i-l-e
or maybe chuckle, you win their friendship. They will do what you suggest
forever.”
· 23. “Wow, I never thought of that. And it even works with winning girls.
Wait, and in job interviews too, huh Pop?”
· 24. “What can you tell me about being “Funny”?
· 25. “Maybe next time. But here’s a hint. If YOU are the butt of the joke,
people will love & remember you for the rest of their lives.
· And be influenced, persuaded & convinced You-are-the
best-of-the-best. So what? Answer: Sew-buttons on your nose and see if it
sticks. That’s a school-yard joke, Mike.”
See ya,
