Hey my friends! I just wanted to ask a simple question today. Do people listen to you? Or do you have a hard time getting people to do anything?
I wanted to ask this because the answer to this question will determine your success rate in business or as an entrepreneur in general. I was talking with a buddy of mine who is in a network marketing company and he had on average out of 30 people he would invite to a home business overview only 10 of them show up and 1 or 2 of them join his business. Then one day he recruited his Karate teacher. This guy invited 20 people to a home meeting, 19 people showed up, and all 19 joined the business. Hmmm, so what is the different between these 2 people. 1 had 30% of the people show up and less then 10% join him and the other had 95% of the people show up and join him.
The answer is Influence! Another word for this could be Credibility. If you are having trouble right now in your business you may lack this most important fundamental. It’s ok though because this is something you can fix if you are willing to work on yourself daily and grow as a person. If you are the person struggling to have people listen to you then I would highly suggest you go read or re-read the book called “How To Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie.
Go read the book again, this time really take it to heart so that you can become a better entrepreneur!
Hope this helps someone!

This post is very true Mike! I have been finding it difficult talking to people that I know personally because I feel like many of them like to prejudge me and the things that I am involved in. I do have the book you mentioned in this post and I have read it once before. I think I will pull it out and read it again when I finish my current book I'm reading!
