Please don't nod your head, tucking this away for future use. If you really knew better, you'd be doing better, wouldn't you? Use it immediately, and then, just watch what happens. What hapens is called RESULTS. Better results; measurably and repeatedly so, guaranteed. The same minute that you put your list of possible 'helpers' on paper, you begin thinking of additional people to add to the list. By the time you get a hundred people on your list, you will find that at least a few of them are saying 'YES' to you, others are gearing their minds, moving closer and closer to saying yes. If this shorcut alone is not enough to stimulate you to acting on it, put your seat belt on, you're about to get smarter. What is particularly exciting about this is that, hidden in the act of asking, right here you have another absotively life-changing benefit: every time you get a 'NO' from a particular person, you are now mathematically one time closer to having that person say yes.

The inventor who lost more money for more of his financial backers than any other inventor before or since?

That was the same guy who told a NY Times reporter at a news conference that he had not failed ten thousand times, rather, had learned ten thousand ways NOT to invent the electric light bulb, that he simply took ten thousand steps in order to announce at that news conference that he, Thomas Edison, had indeed invented a successful electric light bulb.

It is possible that you know more than Thomas Edison, or think you do. In point of fact, Edison also generated a good bit more profits for his backers than a thousand other inventors combined We have no doubt that you may well be a legend in your own mind. Simply examine the paper-thin difference between knowing it, and proving it. That single-ply tissue-thickness is a matter of a few minutes per day.   As with most subjects, talk is talk, and has its limits. What you do speaks so loudly we really can't hear a word you're saying.

The sole purpose of this document is to pound into your head that you have what amounts to a magic genie between your ears, that you can make huge leaps in a single day or two. Since learning this I've tripled my results in a dozen of my favorite areas, with as little as fifteen minutes per day. Before you know it, the minutes of superfocus add up to hundreds, then thousands of those little 15-minute chunks. Wow. How would you like to read a book or two per day, every day? I've been doing it since my tenth birthday, which was a bit more than ten thousand days ago. For me, it's worth two hours and more per day. It has certainly helped in the pursuit of radio shows, guitar, piano, breaking a hundred sales records for a half-dozen large NY companies... ...and 12,000 hand-created, completely free web pages... just for you.

This is not rocket science, and, at the base of it all, it's not necessarily important for us to understand all the why's and wherefores of a great shortcut... only that it gives a reasonably safe boost up the ladder. Like most people, I haven't gotten particularly smarter throughout the passage of a year, two years, ten years; It was the easy-enough task of staying focused on learning more high-powered shortcuts from my role models, reading about and interacting with them; then setting out to duplicate their precise words and efforts, just as Grandma does with a recipe.   My role models are those who do things at world-class levels repeatedly. The most exciting, encouraging fact to emerge from so many years, so many thousands of days of studying and interacting with winners is that every single last one of them, every girl Jill and every man Jack, every single world-class leader has overcome obstacles much bigger than yours. The proof is that they moved past their obstacles while you're still making pipsqueak efforts with your enormous reservoir of resources.

Very few people can say 'No' after seven requests

It's that simple. Ask a human being for something specific -- seven or more times -- and their ability to say 'No' diminishes, even as their likelihood of saying 'Yes' increases -- with mathematical similarity. You might look up the word 'apposite' in the dictionary. It fits here.

Obviously, asking fifty people significantly increases the likelihood of you obtaining what you want. The fastest known way to guarantee or at least reasonably assure you getting what you want is to ask each person repeatedly until they say yes.

  Find new ways to ask.   

As you shall or can notice with all shorcuts and PowerGems, your opinion - PRIOR TO YOUR GREAT EXPERIENCE - is, characteristically, of no interest at all, because it's of no benefit to any of us, least of all the most important person on the planet, whose face you can find right now in the nearest mirror, until it's been used a hundred times or more. That sentence is DESIGNED to be unwieldy, to highlight how ridiculous and truly useless the great majority of our opinions really are. Everyone has an opinion on approximately everything, and nearly every opinion is wrong. Only when we know it very well, and APPLY IT MANY TIMES is there anything upon which to craft an informed opinion.

The Shapelinks Way To Win invites you to give this concept more time than most, because learning it at deeper levels ensures that this effective shortcuts will serve you many times and in many ways:

Only when we succeed at it are we qualified to teach others. Then and only then is a person qualified to offer a worthwhile opinion. Those who ask for more inevitably receive more. It applies to you today as much as it applied to you as an infant hollering for your food.   Think about it.     Ask ask ask.

Modified repetition is the bulwark and bulk of every human skill.
