Are you really frustrated by the fact that it's difficult to influence others when nobody knows who you are, you don't feel like you have any power or influence right now, and the people you want to influence reject your ideas (even when you're genuinely trying to help them)?

Plus, do you constantly ask yourself these questions about how to move forward?:
• How can I quickly become a person of influence?
• How can I use influence to have a positive impact on people?
• Is influence the same as manipulation or unwanted control of others?

One last question...

Do you ever find yourself thinking "Influence is somehow connected with manipulation, mind control, or brain washing." or "You've never seen yourself as a leader or person of influence." or "You don't see how the ability to influence others has any relevance to your job, life, or situation."?

I know I did!

And finally, to make matters even worse, sometimes (no matter what you do) it just plain feels like self-absorbed critics are actively going out of their way to sabotage your success with influencing others and improving the lives of those around you.

Well let me tell you, I know exactly how you feel because I've been there myself... more than once!

When all is said and done, my guess is you really just want to influence people toward positive, productive outcomes in life and business, communicate a way that creates immediate impact with everyone you meet, and guide and mentor people to live their best lives. Yes?

If this sounds at all like you...
