Mind Control Basics - Learn to Effectively Persuade and Influence Others

You will never be able to wield complete mind control over another person, but you will be able to influence people's behavior in ways that benefit you. If you just come out and tell people what to do, they probably won't listen. But if you learn to communicate more subtly, the results can be different...


Mind control is getting people to do what they want to do (you simply influence what they want so it's in your best interest).

There are two ways to get people to do what you want.

The first, behavior modification, allows you to change a person's undesirable behaviors by using positive reinforcement.

The second method of influencing is reality modification. We'll concentrate most of our attention on this. This mind control technique is successful because of the way in which your requests are presented.

KNOW WHAT PEOPLE NEED

There are three main goals people subconsciously seek. They are:

1. Symbolic Rewards

2. Material Gains

3. Security

1) SYMBOLIC REWARDS

We all have the need for symbolic rewards, such as recognition and praise. Everybody wants to feel important and special.

The act of praising and recognizing another is a strong motivator and is an essential mind control technique. Always reward good deeds with praise, and give positive, constructive criticism for bad deeds. If you are patient, in time you will see the results of your compliments.

2) MATERIAL GAINS

Material rewards mean a lot to people, whether they realize it or not. In any capitalist society, a person's status is judged by his material gains. Therefore, since money produces material gain, it is a strong motivator, and its presence can have a strong influence on others.

3) SECURITY

Everyone needs security and stability. Security is attained when people feel they belong and are needed by others. People want security in their jobs, friends, family, etc. Influencing people's feelings of security is paramount to mind control.

There are many ways to increase other people's feelings of security:

a) Let people know what you have to offer and what you expect from them in return. Tell them why the relationship you have with them is the way it is.

b) Make people feel that they are needed and belong in the relationship with you. Show a need for their presence.

c) Let others know what their efforts are accomplishing and how they are affecting you. Make them feel important and special to you. Show them that their efforts are appreciated.

d) Make sure that all parties in the relationship are compatible.

Emphasise Comfort

Make sure people are comfortable in their relationships with you. If they are not, find out why and do something about it. You can't control another's mind if they don't trust you.


HOW TO WIELD MORE INFLUENCE

Know What You Want

Have a clear idea in your mind about what to achieve. Whether it be changing another person's undesirable behaviors or persuading him to accept your point of view.

Fix this idea of what you want to achieve firmly in your mind. Know exactly what you want, and clarify any vague objectives you may have.

Clarity of personal purpose is the first step to putting your mind control abilities to work.

Understand Expectations

Have a clear understanding of what others expect of you and what you actually expect of yourself.

People often set unrealistic expectations for themselves by gathering up all of the good qualities they see in others, and trying to have them all within themselves. No one expects you to be perfect.

Be Persistent

Resolve to do everything better and be persistent until you attain the results you've been trying to achieve. Anything worth doing once is worth doing again and again.

Don't let rejection or any other negative experience stop you. Learn from mistakes, better yourself, and keep on going. Nobody is successeful with the strategies of mind control on their very first try.

You Must Give in Order to Receive

The old cliché, "there's no such thing as free lunch," is a fact of life. If you want to receive something, learn to pay for it. Some things may have higher prices than others, and some things may have a higher value to you than others.

Examine your options carefully and match what you can give with what you want to receive.

Pay Attention To People

People will help you get where you want to go. It will never be easy for you to make it alone. People can teach you and help you become more influential with others. Listen to other people and learn from them. Most people use subtle mind control techniques every day of their lives and they don't even realise it. Can you think of some?

Expect A Lot

When you expect a lot, you can get a lot. Your expectations of others and yourself will become reality. Whatever you expect to happen will happen. If you push yourself hard, you will start to see results.

Build A Positive Atmosphere

When you create a "win, win, win" situation, you will start to win. When you start to think positively, your life will start to be positive.

Promise A Lot, Deliver More

Promise people a lot, and then give them more. This is the way the highest achievers have made it. Tell people what you will do for them, and then do more.

Give People What They Want

If you want things from others, you must first give. Don't expect others to make the first move - you have to. If you want to get ahead in life and be successful, you must make the first move. Don't expect to influence someone without establishing some repore.

Everybody has certain goals and objectives they wish to achieve. If you can help them reach their goals and objectives, they will want to return the favor. Give people what they want and you have taken the first step to successful mind control.
