The Blonde's Secret Weapon Technique

Power Persuasion is about taking advantage of the natural ways in which people think and letting your prospect persuade themselves.

One of the secrets of power persuasion is that people don't always think everything through as thoroughly as they should. In many cases, we use "rules of thumb", which are called "judgmental heuristics" in psychology. These are usually reliable and will normally point us in the right direction with a minimum amount of investigation.

One of the judgmental heuristics that many people have is that women with blonde colored hair are 1) more fun, and 2) less intelligent. As with many judgmental heuristics, the truth doesn't always match with the rule. 

Somewhere along the line, however, intelligent blondes found that the impression could be used effectively to their benefit, and they developed a persuasion technique that is quite impressive.

In order to maintain the illusion of ignorance, these gifted persuaders discovered that they could ask as many questions as it took to get their prospect to come up with the right answer. Then once the right answer was spoken by their prospect, they would simply say something along the lines of "Wow, you are so smart. I would have never thought of that." 

Unfortunately for us mere mortals, this technique actually requires a lot of intelligence to pull off well. You really have to understand human psychology and logic in order to direct your questions to pull out the right answers from your prospect and not give yourself away.

Leading questions are a subject unto themselves, and I cover them in some depth in the Keys To Power Persuasion course. For now, understand that one of the easiest ways to lead your prospect through the use of questions is to suggest the answer within the question itself. 

Here are a couple of examples:

"Of course, I know nothing about this, but what would happen if you turned those knobs? Is there one of those controls that might help in this situation?"

"All I know about cars is that you have to put gas in them once in a while. But I once heard someone talk about a gizmo called a 'differential' or some such. Is it possible that something like that could be the problem here?"

"You say that one of the things that slow down a computer is the connection between its memory and the processor, whatever that is. Would it be possible for someone to build them together, on the same chip or something? Would that make them go faster?"

There are 4 general rules to using questions to lead your prospect.

1. Ask each question in a way that is interesting to your prospect, so that they remain involved in the process.

2. Ask each question based on what your prospect already understands.

3. Ask each question to focus your prospect's mind in the intended direction, one step closer to the desired information.

4. Ask each question in a way that suggests the answer your prospect should give.

In cases where your prospect feels as though they are an expert in the subject under discussion, it can sometimes pay off handsomely to let them think that they know more about the subject than you do. Playing to a person's ego can oftentimes make them want to do more for you than upsetting their self-image of superiority. 

Just ask any smart blonde.

How To Choose An Alternative Health Therapy

If traditional medical treatments are not helping your recover from or prevent illness or pain, you may wish to consider an alternative health therapy to take the place of traditional options or to use in conjunction. These alternative therapies are now being widely studied, as many people are having miraculous results with them. However, within the alternative medical world, there are a number of choices for treatment. Choosing a medical treatment plan can be difficult, so research the many options carefully before choosing any kind of alternative therapy treatment.

There are many types of alternative health therapies you can learn about. The most commonly known alternative medical option is chiropractic. Acupuncture and acupressure are also very widely known and accepted ways of treating illness and pain. In the place of medications, herbal remedies and homeopathic remedies can be used, and a detox diet is also the cause of medical well being for many people who wish to stop using medicines, which contain many harmful chemicals and can increase risks and cause side effects.

Some types of alternative therapies focus specifically on the sense of touch. These include massage, Rolfing, reiki, and therapeutic touch. There are also alternative therapy treatments that involve your other senses. Aromatherapy is triggered by sense of smell; color therapy and light therapy both have to do with your sense of sight, and music therapy involves your sense of hearing.

If none of the aforementioned alternative medical options strike your fancy, you can also try prayer, meditation, yoga, hypnosis, magnetic therapy, polarity therapy, apitheraphy, or biofeedback techniques. There are many other kinds of alternative therapies as well and your doctor should know a little bit about all of them. Use this as a starting point to narrow down the list and then research each to choose what is best for your body.

Once you have chosen an alternative health therapy option, you must next find a professional for treatment. Be wary of anyone not certified. Most alternative therapies have certification programs or are practiced by medical doctors. In many cases, practicing without certification is illegal. Certification programs help you feel at ease with your professional. Shop around for the best prices and ask your regular doctor for recommendations. Word of mouth is a great way to find medical professionals, so talk to friends, family members, and co-workers about the local businesses. You can also read reviews online and contact the Better Business Bureau for more information. Your health care is important, so make the best decisions possible.

Acupressure Massage: A Massage that Cures

When most people think of traditional Chinese forms of medical treatment, acupuncture comes to mind first and foremost. Acupressure massage is another form, however, that is very similar to acupuncture and can also help in relieving pain and discomfort. Acupressure is especially good for people who fear or are otherwise skeptical of sticking needles into their bodies. Related to massage, you should explore acupressure as a treatment option. Although it is still not considered valid by many traditional medical doctors, studies are beginning to be done, and these show that the technique is very effective.

An acupressure session will start much in the same way that an acupuncture session begins. The professional, who should be certified in traditional Chinese medicine will assess your health situation and determine the cause of your problem. The root of all medical pain and suffering is poorly flowing energy in the body. An acupuncturist and an acupressurist stimulate points on the body to help correct this energy flow. These points are, in many cases, not at the place of your pain, but instead found throughout the body.

A common kind of acupressure massage used is called cupping, although many other forms are also popular. In this technique, the professional uses fire and small cups to create suction to the body at specific points. This treatment has been used not only in ancient China, but also in other ancient civilizations, such as Greece. Today, practitioners as well as those who have been helped by acupressure are seeking to help it become better known and to have people take the technique more seriously.

Acupressurists are usually acupuncturists who have learned acupressure skills as well. Always visit an established business for these needs, and be sure that your acupressurist is certified. The office should be clean and be sure that his or her tools are sterile before treatment. Your regular doctor should be able to direct you to an established acupressurist in the area, or you can call the Better Business Bureau to find out more about local TCM businesses. Your regular doctor can also tell you more about how acupressure massage can be used not alone, but rather in conjunction with traditional medical treatment like exercise and medication. This is the best course of action and most effective. Don't discount nontraditional forms of treatment, like acupressure, when planning with your doctor-these could end up being most effective for you.

7 Steps to Great Makeup

7 Steps to Great Makeup - - -

1. Avoid wearing too much

Makeup is meant to enhance features not bring negative attention to you. That's what wearing too much makeup will do; it will bring you unwanted attention. Don't wear too much of anything such as:

i) Eyeliner: dark, thick eyeliner will make you look overdone and will ruin the rest of your makeup.

ii) Mascara: too much mascara looks fake and will flake. It looks especially bad if worn with thick eyeliner or dark blue eye eye shadow.

iii) Foundation: Make sure your foundation is the same color as your skin. Foundation is meant to protect and give the face a smooth look. The magic word is blend.

iv) Powder:The same holds true for powder - not too much. Also, be sure to blend your makeup so there are no obvious lineS

2. Lips

Apply lip liner to completely cover the lips, add color and your lipstick will stay on much longer. Make sure your lip liner doesn't show. Also, your lip color should match your skin tone; wear cool colors if you have cool coloring and warm colors if you have warm coloring. If you want to make your lips look smaller, keep your liner on the inside of your lips. However, if you decide to make your lips look larger, going outside the natural outline of you lips is a mistake. This can look quite messy and unnatural.

3. Appropriate makeup
Wear makeup that is appropriate for the occasion. If you are going to the beach you shouldn't wear the same or as much makeup as you would if you were going dancing. Also, when you are in daylight your makeup should be a lighter than when you are out for the evening.


4. Too little or no makeup

Some women don't wear makeup because they are not sure how to use it and are afraid of being overdone. If you are unsure, start will light colours in your shade. Start slowly and add one product at a time. Maybe start with foundation, add mascara, blush or lipstick. If you are not used to wearing makeup, using a lot a first may be a little too much for you, so start slowly. The bottom line is a little is better than none. If you are still unsure seek professional advice.

5. Overall look

When your makeup is completed it should look natural. That means avoiding colours that clash. If you have dark skin and hair you will look better in darker shades; light colours will make you look washed out. If your hair and skin tone are light, light colours will look better on you. Dark makeup will make you look older and harsh. If you have oily skin, first use oil control moisturizer and foundation. Then be sure to wear loose powder, keeping pressed powder with you for touch ups.


6. Hair color

Your hair color should also be in harmony with your skin. If you have dark hair and you want to add color, keep it close to the same shade. If you have light hair, use light colors. As you age your skin will lighten, so should your hair color. One last thing about hair color - if you do color you hair be sure you keep it up, don't let your roots show.

7. One last thing

Keep makeup looking fresh all day by doing regular touch ups. Don't let your makeup fade or crease. Smile!!!

Good Photos Are Important

When you're first starting out (and from that point on!), good photography is important. It baffles me to see what some models use to market themselves. Just a quick scan of many of the portfolios on modeling sites, such as OneModelPlace, will reveal an abundance of poorly lit, poorly exposed, uncropped, out-of-focus, and badly composed photos. Photos that would look bad in a photo album, let alone a model's portfolio!
If you were an agent or a model scout looking for talent, who would you pick, the aspiring model with mediocre photos or the model whose images really catch your eye? Putting "snapshots" online does not make you a model. Be critical. Get good photos. Avoid representing yourself with photos that do not accurately reflect your potential and level of expertise.

Modelling Tips For You

The market determines what models are needed. These needs tend to cluster into market segments and allow us to look at types of models. It is important to understand the type of model you want to be. By understanding the type of modeling you are interested in you can learn what the requirements are and if you can meet them. This also helps in avoiding getting ripped off (more about this on the scam page). I have seen the greatest number of rip-offs and bad business decision happen when a wannabe model is thinking of one type of modeling (usually high fashion) and a scout, agent, photographer, etc. is recruiting for another (life style, Playboy glamour). So it is very important you understand what type of modeling you are interested in. 

Become a Model and Get Paid to Model

Imagine having an exciting high-paying job as a professional model. Imagine walking down a runway at a designer fashion show, or having your photo taken for Vogue or your favorite magazine.
