Free registration at the forum removes this block.the world brain washes us from a young age to believe in its values, go to school, follow directions, get a good job & retire with your 401K. this is the best process for us to follow in order to keep the economy growing. only the huge gap between the rich and the poor combined with social Darwinism has created this situation where the rich can beat the poor down & the poor can't do anything about it.
most of us aren't educated in finance, don't understand what it means to be upside down in a loan, don't understand marketing or business, because public school only showed them how to take orders, not how the system actually works, these public schools were created in the beginning of the industrial revolution with one goal in mind, make better factory workers & to this day we've been indoctrinated into this assembly line process in everything we do, at the grocery store, at school, at work, it's just one big assembly line after another. Most people with only public education behind them only understand how to operate efficiently within the assembly line by following orders, not how to create anything of their own that can produce wealth, not how to manage their finances, not how to create strong relationships that lead to a more healthy lifestyle.
The Social Extraction
The weakness in this whole operation lies within it's predictability, no matter where you go, things are exactly the same, the subjugated workers, the manager policing the operation & the levels upon levels of leadership, so on and so forth, People don't like to admit this but everyone is a follower, that big bad manager is a follower, the guy above him is a follower & the CEO is a follower, the hot girl you wish you could get is a follower, the customer your trying to get a sale from is a follower, so with that said, the most important question you should be asking is how do you get them to follow you?
The social extraction is a strategy for making this happen by leading indirectly using open ended questions, giving directions rather than asking permission & pulling the prospect in the direction you want with small incremental directives that get them accustomed to following you rather than leading you. It sounds manipulative, but the overarching goal is to create good relationships with the type of people that help you grow financially & socially but you can't do that without being a leader first.
Whos the market for the ebook? the Demo?
I'm going to have to aim for whatever more left-leaning artistic type of people who are interested in this kinda stuff... these guy's seem too *logical* to get into this.
:smxB:
I'm sorry, I can appreciate what your saying, but I WILL NOT do that.
I have an instinct about things like this & while I'm sure your experienced enough to know what your talking about, I know I can do it this way.
If I do it that way it wont be 100% of what it could be, its supposed to be the ONLY product like it..
the ONLY product that can unify sales, leadership, success with women & lay it out for people in a comprehensive enough manor that they can apply it immediately.
If I narrow it down I have a generic book that sells on amazon for 5 bucks
If I do it this way I have a CLASSIC that nobody has every done before and nobody will EVER touch..
I know why you might think its bad to do it this way, but I need to do it this way.. It can and will work because I'm going to see to it that it does.
what If I already had the demographic focus down to an extremely deep deep deep level, I'm talking like... psychologically deep, but I just didn't know where to find these types? what would your advice be then?
Because this is way better than that...Man they got so much material on this. Why would they get it from you?
Tyler Durden - Blueprint decoded. Why get anything else?
You're setting yourself up for failure.
Your lack of willingness to take advice is troublesome.
I would tell you
- You don't know your demo as well as you thought you did if you don't know where they hang out or how to reach them.
- You THINK you've got a targeted demo in mind but you don't.
the skill of "LEADING AGAINST THE ODDS"
The world has subjugated people and indoctrinated them into being FOLLOWERS with no control over their OWN LIVES.
The culture of the industrial age suppresses our COURAGE like a SLAVE who's been broken so he wont try to escape!!!
Follow, Follow, Follow, How do you get control? Follow some more.
F*ck that! We've been following instructions since elementary school, it's bullshit
Stop Following and start LEADING
When You want a promotion, You have to deal with somebody who's perceived as superior to you, the same with a hot girl, a sale from a customer, a job interview, The odd's are always against you in these situations because of some perceived superiority & you know it so as a reflex you become small, you get quieter, your less witty, you loose control & it gets left up to hope.
HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY!!!
Here's a Strategy:
You cultivate the skill of leading against the odds & use it to become a stronger leader than anyone who's in the way of you getting what you want & run through them like a special forces trained killing machine extracting whatever it is your trying to get in the process.
when you want a sale, guess what? the odds are against you... whoever your trying to sell doesn't want to part with his money. when you want to date or have sex with a hot girl the odds are also against you, she doesn't want to be easy or maybe she thinks she's too good for you, want a promotion? there's 20 other dude's in line for it that are more qualified than you, want a job interview? SAME situation, the odds are against you.
but the loophole in all this is the secret that EVERYONE IS A FOLLOWER
they went through the same social conditioning you did, so the superiority is an illusion, there is no superiority or inferiority, just leading and following.
The people who make sales are just the people who can LEAD customer's, the guys who get girls are just the guy's who can LEAD girls, the guy's who get promotions and interviews are just guy's who LEAD their way through promotions and interviews.
All you need to do is understand that the "odds" are imagined and the whole superiority these situations project are ALL IN YOUR HEAD & these people become followers ready to take orders
are you tired of being forced to follow people that think their better than you?
are you ready to lead?
its all eyes on you.
I'd rather make a mistake of ambition than not know what I could have done if I did it my way.
PossiblyFair enough but why ask for our opinion if you are going to do it your way and your way only?
Validation of your amazingness?
Scrap your product
Find your market, then your traffic, then see what kind of product they want/need at said traffic source
Then sell that
I already found the market, have the traffic source and the product is modeled after whats already out there for them and made to be an improvement on that.
another reason I don't listen to people, don't know the whole story but already have a radical answer.
good question...
right now I think its authority status in a word, the current people who run this market have authority like hell... so the main challenge is not selling this, because honestly I can sell shit back to a dog..
it's establishing authority in my market, which is what I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do it... I have a general idea that I plan on narrowing down as I experiment little by little.. ie. asking for feedback, getting flamed on here, learning from this experience..
imagine I came on here & the whole site loved the idea and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, people would be hitting me up to get in on it left and right..
well, the only difference between this and that is the perception of authority, its the same in a sales environment, if people doubt you know what your talking about.. they wont buy shit from you, but if you come off like an authority, you can sell them their own shoes.
