How To Get What You Want

Take Action - The Reverse

Take Action

Why are simple things so hard to accomplish?  If you want something, you have to go get it.  Sounds simple, but too many people can't find a way to get it done.

"I know what to do, but I'm too busy to do it now."  "I'll get to it soon."   This kind of attitude is for people that don't get what they want.  "I know what to do and I'm taking action now to get what I want."  "I know if I wait until tomorrow it will never happen."  This kind of attitude is from a person who gets what he or she wants.

Too busy to take a night class to learn a trade that makes you happier.  Too busy to give your time to do something you enjoy doing.  Too busy to write a book that has been burning inside you for years.  Too busy to get into an exercise and diet program that will make you love yourself that much more.  Do I have to say more - you are NOT too busy.  Go for it today!

"I know what to do, but I'm not sure I want to take the risk."  "Let me think about it."  "I know what to do and there is a risk.  I've evaluated the risk and believe that if the worst happens, I will recover.  I know I won't get what I want if I don't take the risk, so I'm going to go for it. No risk - No reward!" 

Which person do you think will get what they want?  I think that is a stupid question, but some of you might not.  Some of us are so risk adverse that we make ourselves believe we don't need or don't deserve to get what we want.  Some of us believe that the risk will ruin our life which would be worst than getting what we want and deserve.  I hope you are not one of those people.

"I know what to do, but I have to make a change to get it."  "My life is safe and predictable so why change it - why rock the boat."  "I know what to do and I'm going to make the changes necessary to get it.  I've decided I no longer want to stay with the this safe and predictable life I've been living.  I'm never going to get what I want if I don't make the changes necessary.  I want more out of life and I'm willing to leave my comfort zone to get all I deserve."

The latter sounds simple, but it's not.  Change is scary.  Change takes time to get used to.  Change has the risk of making things worse.  However, living a life that is half full is not acceptable.  Believe what you want, but until someone can prove me wrong, this is the only life you are going to get.  You won't die if you make a change to get what you want. 

Even if things don't go as planned, at least you went for it.  At least you won't be living a life of "shouldas and couldas." You'll be proud of yourself and feel positive about yourself.  That alone is worth making a change to get what you want.

Bottom line is, you have the power and control to take action to get what you want.  Think about what kind of life you want to live.  Taking action to get what you want takes guts.  Taking action to get what you want takes a strong belief in yourself.  Taking action to get what you want will lead you to a better life - a happier life - a more positive life.  Isn't that what we all want!!!!


The Reverse

This is an old sales trick to get what you want.  Many people don't see themselves as winners.  Some think of themselves as losers.  Some think of themselves as just average.

People want to be with a winner.  People want to buy from a winner.  People want to invest with a winner.  People want to do what a winner wants then to do.  People want to get something they don't think they can get.

The reverse is a way to get what you want from the these people.  If a person believes that something is special, they want it.  If a person believes only winners will get this thing, they want it even more.  This is not the carrot and stick.  This is telling someone they are not qualified to get the carrot so they will want it more.

A person who wants to sell something might say: "I want to sell you this bag, but I have a list of people who will pay more."  This old reverse trick has proved time and time again to make the person you are selling to want the bag even more.  You close the sale by saying: "OK, I'll sell you the bag at the price you want, but only if you promise me you won't tell anyone else what price you paid."  The person takes the bag and feels great about themselves.  The seller got what they wanted by using the reverse.

"I would love to go on a date with you, but I'm not sure we would hit it off."  Right away the person you want to date wants to understand why.  That's the first part of the reverse.  "Why don't you think we will hit it off."  "Well you are so great and I probably won't meet your standards."  Part two of the reverse.  "Thanks for the complement, but I'm sure that's not true.  Why don't we go out on a date and find out."  "Well Ok, if you think so.  that would make me very happy." 

The reverse got him what he wanted.  A date with someone he wanted to go out with.  I could go on with more examples, but you should think about what you want and how you can use the reverse to get it.  Work out the scenario in your head before you approach the subject with the other person.  Don't worry if you fail a few times.  You will succeed more times then you will fail.

Getting what you want makes you a happy, proud and positive person.  Go for it - you deserve it.
