https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug02Post.mp4 Most of "game" is reversed engineered from folks who are naturally successful. Most of sales is reversed engineered from folks who are naturally successful. This idea, of copying what works, is as old as time. The first guy who invented a spear probably copied from somewhere else. Maybe he was chasing some deer, the deer tripped and accidentally impaled himself on a tree branch. Then the cave guy thought: "Damn! Why didn't I think of that!" He tried it, and it worked. Everybody else copied him. Then one guy thought about combining a rock with a stick, and made the first "blade on a stick." Everybody copied that, and here we are a million years later. So it IS a very, very good strategy to copy what others are doing that works. But when it comes to game and sales, it's a lot more than what we see. In fact, a "truism" from an old school economist from the 1800's (Bastiat if you're interested) is very, very helpful: It's not what you see, it's what you don't see. Of course, he was talking about economics. And he was talking about long chains of invisible cause-effect. X happens, which causes Y to happen, which causes Z to happen, but only under certain circumstances. But all we see is the X and then, sometimes, a little bit later Z. You need to see all the stuff going on the middle to TRULY understand. And when it comes to game, and to a larger extent all sales and persuasion, what you DON'T see is much, much more important. This is something a lot of people don't like to even think about. Because what you DON'T see is a function if inner game. The stuff few people think about, for ANY reason. Because inner game is all about confidence, or lack of confidence. Beliefs, deep feelings of inadequacy, all the deep subconscious things running in the background that we never even notice. This is what Jung was getting at when he talked about making the unconscious conscious. That unless we make the unconscious conscious, it will run our lives, and we will call it fate. This is externalizing in a nutshell. We try to get an outcome, and we fail. We blame things OUTSIDE of us. The world, the gods, fate. But the things driving our behaviors are INSIDE us. All the things that we might describe as INNER GAME. Understand this part of you, understand EVERYTHING. Instead of copying a lot of outer game techniques, and trying to come up with a huge memorized checklist, solving inner game is MUCH EASIER. Re-calibrate your inner game, and all outer game, in ALL situations will become natural, automatic, and much more effective. Get Started: https://mindpersuasion.com/anxiety-killer/

https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Aug13Post.mp4 I have very vague memories of my first understandings of money. I was a kid, and my younger sister was asking my mom why we couldn't buy stuff. My younger sister thought all you needed to do was write a check and the people at the store would give you stuff. I remember knowing that's not how stuff worked. There was a famous economist who lived back in the 1800's. He had a saying that it's not what you see, it's what you don't see. Meaning if you don't use very much brainpower, all you will see is A happening and B happening. But what you don't see is what happens later. Or what happened before. Physicists are famous for making some very crazy assumptions. But they do so to FIRST understand the most basic ideas, and then slowly get bigger and bigger. This is why in high school physics they talk about only two dimensions and no friction. Two dimensions means you don't have to worry about trigonometry. No friction means you don't have to worry about calculus. You can understand the basic concepts with simple algebra. But if you keep studying, things start to get VERY complicated. Most people stay way too long on the sidelines of life. Waiting for a guaranteed, step by step system. Somebody to show them how it's done. We've all be brainwashed by the horrors of mass education to fear failure. Most of our experiences with failure involves public ridicule. We get called on in school, give the wrong answer and feel terrible. Ever since birth, our brains are filled with false ideas that make us much better cogs in a huge machine. A lot of people tend to feel "victimized" for being lied to. There's a whole lot of different red pill ideas that describe this. The red pill is allegedly some heroic stance against a system of corruption and deceit. That you finally pull back the curtain and see how things REALLY are. This is only part of the story. The other part is there IS a reality out there. And whether you get in the game or not is YOUR choice. Sure, you may have had your head crammed with false ideas to keep you OUT of the game. But now what? If you are waiting for somebody to hold your hand and make it easy, you'll be waiting a long time. Since the dawn of time, the rules of life have been simple. You don't kill, you don't eat. You can only live so long by waiting. Get In The Game: http://mindpersuasion.com/watching-mind/
