How To Motivate and Persuade People

This is the basic law of persuasion "PEOPLE ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THEMSELVES THAN THEY ARE IN YOU!" Other people are enticed by your complete attention to them. In normal conversation when people are supposed to be listening they are usually thinking about what they are going to say next. Instead, you should be concentrating on what the person is trying to do. Are they telling you they are feeling unsure of themselves? Are they trying to give their ego a boost? Are they telling you someone else does not understand them? The specific words are not nearly as important as what they are trying to do. Listen to what they are doing. You can expect certain types of people to behave in certain ways. Even before they open their mouth you may have a clue from their body type and dress.
