🙅‍♀️ When someone gives an initial "No" to your proposal or idea, being ready with fallback position is often the catalyst to getting to "Yes."

🎁 The rule of reciprocity dictates, when you concede or moderate, most people concede or moderate in return. However, that may not be enough.

🔑 The key is to be ready with your concession immediately after hearing no.

🤔 If you wait, whatever you put on the table will be interpreted as a new offer, not a concession that should be met with a concession.

✅ Masters of influence understand this, always anticipate "No" AND are ready in the moment with alternative options.

👶 🦴 Think about children. Sometimes they wake up in the middle of the night crying because of growing pains. They don't understand that their bones are stretching, their bodies are changing, but they know they’re experiencing pain.

🏋‍♂️ The same is true throughout life. When I competed in powerlifting and bodybuilding, growth was far from comfortable! Some workouts pushed me to the point of nausea.

🏃‍♂️ Training for marathons wasn't much different. Running farther and faster required thousands of miles, early mornings, sore muscles, occasional injuries, and many days when quitting seemed like the better option.

🤔 Physical growth demands discomfort. But I've come to believe the hardest growth isn't physical. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹.

⛅ The inspiration for 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙫𝙚: 𝙒𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙚𝙩

⁉️ Sometimes a simple question can spark a thought and inspire an idea.

❤️ My daughter, Abigail Ahearn, asked a question that was the inspiration for my most recent book.

📕 More than any other books I've written, I'm proud of 𝙄𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙫𝙚 any because of something Dr. Robert Cialdini said after reading it.

😳 Cialdini told me it was completely unique because he'd never seen anyone make the connection between his principles of influence and faith.

😊 I feel like I've put something into the world that is completely uniquely and reflects how I see influence from an eternal perspective.

🙏 ✝️ Full confession: I don’t feel bad when I don’t open your email. I don’t feel bad when I don’t return your phone call. And I don’t feel bad when I don’t reply to your text.

📣 👂 That might sound strange coming from someone who teaches ethical influence. After all, isn’t it polite to respond when someone reaches out? Usually, yes.

😳 🎁 But there’s an important distinction we often overlook reciprocity was designed for human relationships, not automated marketing campaigns.
