Master These 4 Mind-Altering Technologies for Unstoppable Success

Success is an elusive master. Sometimes, people succeed, and it is hard to see how they did it. Other times, we see people doing all the ‘right’ things and not achieving the success they profess to want.

In today’s world, the tools for success are available to everyone. The trick is doing the work and leveraging the techniques to ensure success, or in other words, doing the work.

Caveat: you have to do the work. Reading books will whet your appetite but leave you hungry. Do the work and enjoy each new level of success in your life.

Here are the technologies that determine your success. See the deeper explanations below.

1.????? The Silva Method? - Formerly called Silva Mind Control. Learn to use more of your mental power quickly, easily, and elegantly.

2.????? Neurolinguistics Programming – This is something you cannot learn from reading books. Attending at least the introductory class twice is required to become slightly proficient.

3.????? Antifragile – by N.N. Taleb This way of seeing the world you can get by reading the book(s) by Taleb. For the maximum benefits and impact,?read all the books in Incerto, his collection. Add in Skin in the Game.

4.????? Navigating Virtue: Ethics and Etiquette in the American Business Landscape by Phyllis Davis. This book is your ticket to fame and maybe fortune. The techniques, nuances, and power plays are spelled out in exquisite detail for you to practice and become proficient in.

The order in which you learn the techniques is not critical, though the above is the easiest. The important part is engaging all of them as soon as possible. Behavior is the highest form of communication; these techniques are the most influential ways to leverage your behavior today. The order above was the way I went through them. It is also the order I suggest to my clients. Silva has gone out of fashion because attending classes and doing the work is required. Both activities mean a commitment to success.

NLP (Neurolinguistics Programming) is THE most powerful set of communication skills you can master. All organizations that gather data on humans use some of these techniques. The technology is the hardest to learn, knowing Silva helps; it is the slowest to master and is the most impactful method you can learn and use. The T.V. show “Lie to Me” is the best place to see how this technology works. NLP workshops are even more challenging to find than Silva. You may have to travel to get the training.

Interesting side note: I spent over three years learning, practicing, and using NLP until I used it unconsciously. Find a partner to practice with, and watch good spy movies to catch the nuances.

Nassim N. Taleb is a writer you need to read. Listening to him is a different story because he is a terrible speaker. Reading his books will change your life for the better; stick with reading his work. Once you learn the essence of his books, you see the world in a new and brighter light. Your behavior changes, and your outcomes improve in your favor.

Phyllis Davis’ track record of over four decades being an authority on ethics and etiquette in American business started with being in the international oil business. Wining and dining with the rich, powerful, and influential to engage them in investing requires fitness at the highest level. Her keen eye, quick wit, and willingness to engage with those in power taught her the best ways to influence others. Her decades of offering training in her ABETA (American Business Ethics/Etiquette Trainers Association) courses have allowed others to continue spreading the methods worldwide.

The original masterwork for success in business/court was Machiavelli and his tome, The Prince. Being successful in sixteenth-century Italy required knowing how to act like a prince who grew up in power. Today, the business world is different, and a flub seldom brings an end to life. It can, however, bring an end or at least a painful fork in one’s career trajectory.

If you are serious about your success, plan on a heavy learning schedule over about a year. Is it possible to make progress sooner? Yes, the minute you start behaving differently, asking questions more elegantly, and learning to listen to what others are saying, you will increase your impact and change your career trajectory to a steeper slope. Hiring a business coach trained in all the techniques is the quickest way to make yourself more powerful.
