This talk was really good. How far could we get in life if we only asked…

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A SEAT ON MOUNT OLYMPUS? When I ask that question I am using Mount Olympus as a metaphor for your ideal state of life. I use it to describe the end state of being for “successful” people. So what is the secret of most successful people anyway? I remember when I was poor that is what I wanted to know. “What is their secret and how can I get whatever they have?” is a question I used to pose to myself daily. Do I have to bathe in mud? Is there a special ritual I need to do? After searching and searching, I found out that the answer was no, but here is what I did find out. I needed to study the rich. I needed to study the famous. I needed to eat what they ate. How did they sleep? I needed to figure that out also. I would have given my left finger if I too could be one of those handsome, sexually dynamite, always happy, rich people. The good news is that I did not have to give my left finger. The conclusion I came to is a glorious one. Pay attention.

Getting to Mount Olympus takes mastering and understanding different skills and different subject matter. It’s a journey. This month will be another step in that journey. You will learn how to fascinate and influence your target market using the same tricks that Lady Gaga, Glenn Beck, and BMW use. We can both agree that you really can’t make anything happen without people. You can’t really get anywhere without engagement. I want you to ponder this. So why do some people always seem to get their way while others do not? Fascination and Influence. you are going to learn how to get these skills and use them for maximum success. So pay close attention and take notes. Then maybe one day you too will be sitting on Mount Olympus. Another skill, Keril? Yes, and stop pouting. Just understand that if the path to get everything you want was straight and symmetrical there would be more people like you, which in turn would mean more competition and reduced profits. Yes, the road to success is wrought with complexity and drudgery, but it is worth it. Here at NMBG we give you the map one topic at a time. This month is all about fascination and influence. Learn it like you have never learned anything before.
