It’s Not What You Say … But What You Hear!
What can I say that will make a difference for you?
The answer is, absolutely nothing!
It doesn't matter what I say.
What matters is how you listen.
The foundation to everything is how you listen.
Salespeople always think the key to selling is saying the right thing to make a customer buy. Yet the top salespeople in any industry spend more time listening to their customers (to identify their wants and needs) than telling them about their product or service.
The power of listening works in all aspects of lives including investing.
There are so many different ways we can listen.
Yet we don't realize how often it is that we are talking, because most of the time that we are talking it is not without mouth but with our mind.
We think that we are listening, but in the back of our mind we're saying stuff to ourselves (silent internal chatter). Stuff like, "I have other things to do" or "I better check my email/blackberry"
When you listen from "How can I use ‘that’," "How can I apply ‘that’ in my life,", or "What can I take from ‘that’ point, that I haven't taken before - even though I understand ‘that’ or heard ‘that’ before – what about ‘that’ am I not applying 100% in my life?" ... you get so much
more!
There might be an email message that totally distracts you from your life, and yet another recipient may have their day brightened by that same e-mail. Similarly, there may be an e-mail that can totally change the world, and yet nothing happens.
Again, it's not because of what is said.
It's because of what is heard.
So my question to you is, "are you ready to listen?"
I meet new potential investors every day who tell me they would love to get into real estate investing because the opportunity is so amazing, yet they have very little money to invest. Are they ever amazed after we chat further about how they can still make money and build their bank account without necessarily writing a fat check to get into this world of investing. All you have to do is listen!
