And I found out what five things that people want and need in life.
And I decided I should share it.
You know, if you want to sell something or try to convince someone you need to know what that person wants out of it.
And there are only four to five things that a human being wants and needs.
Enjoying life
to feel belonged
be better than others
food and drinks
to have comfortable living conditions
When you know what one of these things the person you are trying to convince wants, you can focus on that specific thing. This doesn’t only just convinces someone to buy something, it can be used for other things like convincing you parents to go somewhere or get something.
For example, If you are trying to to sell something to some athletes, you should give some reasons to how it will make them perform better and be more superior than the others that they are playing.
Sometimes you don’t want to do your things that are important for yourself, so you can grow yourself. Thats when you either want or need motivation and here is a good idea for it.
I was reading a book once called Sea Stories by Admiral William H. McRaven who has retired. And at one point in the book he meets a soldier who is in physical therapy because he lost several of his limbs. The soldier acts un fazed and he says, “You should see the other guys.” And the general was surprised due to the fact that basically that soldier was “the other guys.” He had lost his arms and a leg but he was still light hearted. This man lived on to inspire veterans who even had it worse than him.
So this leads me to say that if this man had lost several limbs and can still be happy and optimistic. You should be too without a question. This in the end can and should be your motivation. You should say to yourself, “If he and other people can I definitely can too.
You know the saying: Step by Step? Well whoever came up with that word is right and today I am going to explain why.
You can never complete a major goal in one day, you must take certain measure and time. Everybody wants to be rich and have tons of money. But they know it will take time. And money doesn’t grow on trees so they just quit and accept that they will stay were they are. And thats were they are wrong. That is why it is essential to be patience and be persevered so you can keep on marching.
Let give you an example of why the little things matter:
So you brush your teeth in the morning and night before you go to bed right? Right there you don’t think about it because it has become a part of your daily routine but you taught yourself to be disciplined. So has a part of making your bed and doing your daily exercise.
When you are tired of doing the same thing without any result. That’s when you must hold your perseverance. perseverance is when you are persistent in doing something without stopping until you are successful. For example, Thomas Edison took 1,000 unsuccessful tries to create the light bulb. well that is perseverance. This is a question for you, what if he gave up on the 999th time?
So keep trying until you have reached your goal. This is one of my experiences was when I was learning to do pull-ups. Just because I couldn’t do it didn’t mean that I couldn’t do it at all in my life. I set a goal I worked on that goal and I accomplished it. So that’s when you truly want something, go get it and strive for it.
These are all of the human instincts that is needed to know and that you can use in your daily life.
Acceptance: It doesn’t matter who accepts you, but if you are “accepted”, it will make you feel more comfortable. Like when you have friends, family, or even people who greet you in public.
Greed: Not just with money, but also other things like love. Because you naturally do not want to give to other people, but it is your choice to do so.
Fear: As in losing what you have or done, not doing things that you wanted to. Or keeping things that you can’t let go of like loved ones. What if you you had a very little amount of time to live, what would you do? That is fear.
Have you ever been like: “Oh I wish I did this later so I don’t have to do it now.” Well here are some of the consequences and the possible solutions. When you say you’re going to do things later, make sure you’re going to do it in the first place. And when you do it make sure it’s soon or else it will be too late. And when it is too late you will not fully act with 100% because you are rushing to get over it. The next thing that’s unbeneficial is that once you try to do something, you’ll be less intrigued and fired up.
Some of the possible solutions to this are:
Simply, just do it without delaying
Prepare yourself so you have time to do what you need to do and not rush
Mentally say/prepare that you are going to do it no matter what so you won’t loose the motivation
The meaning behind “have to vs want to”. Is that when you get a job and you don’t want it you will do bad there. Because you didn’t want to do it in the first place.
And every single time you go there you will think of it as a “have to” than a “want to”.
And as you have that mindset you’ll think of it as a job. Because if you like what your’e doing then it won’t be a job anymore. It will be a part of your life.
When it becomes a part of your life you’ll be able to do your job freely. Instead of dragging yourself through the day. So that means, no problems will appear. And if they do, you can quickly adapt instead of being frustrated or even quitting.
Sometimes all of us let our discipline drop and we have something that we know isn’t good for us. For example last 4th of July I slacked a lot and after that vacation it was so hard to get back on track. And sometimes we slack for so long it becomes normal and a routine to eat too much, get no exercise, and don’t do things that are educational for us.
Right now i’m in summer vacation and i’m still being active. And I’m not saying that you don’t need pleasure time you can still reward yourself but always outweigh the pleasure from the work time. In the end discipline and routine is the key to success.
In the second part of this post I will Be talking about consistency.
After we have mastered discipline, all we have to do is stay consistent and keep being consistent until we have met our goal. Some people can’t keep going so they give up or cut short. If you take a break, you are only slowing yourself down. Discipline And Consistency Is Key.
Recently me and our family had to sell our old grill because we bought a new one. I was told to sell the grill on craigslist. I sold the grill. Here is my overall experience.
Here’s How I Sold My Grill On Craigslist
This is my first post.
“Brinkmann grill The Brinkmann grill is a 5 burner that has a side burner and works well. All you need is a quick wash. The starting price for the grill is 40 dollars, but there is room for negotiation.“
After I wrote my first ad, nobody responded. The mistake I made was that “All you need is a quick wash”. Who wants to wash the grill after buying it.
Then I took off that as you can see on my second post down below. Also I added, ” multi tasking” for the side burner. Here is my 2nd post
This is the picture of my second post
Tell me, would you buy this grill? The picture is blurred, It is dirty, . Also I only wrote down the description instead of the benefits. People want to know the benefit and why my grill is better than other people in the marketplace. And also why they have to buy it.
After the second post, there was still no reply. Now I really have to think hard about improving my ad.
I did some research and found out that my price is lower than the market price. Also I have cleaned the grill inside out, now its nice and shiny, and I took some new pictures. Instead of saying it needs a quick wash, since I washed the grill I wrote, “It is clean and ready to use”.
My third post:
After I fixed all these mistakes, there were floods of people who asked if they could take the grill.
As you can see I reposted my ad three times because of these mistakes that you will see in the next paragraph. And all the times I re-posted the ad, I learned one lesson for each time I failed.
Here are three things that I learned on the way
Make it easy.: On my text above, at first I said it needed a quick wash. Then I corrected it and said it was clean and ready to use.
People want to know the benefits and why they have to buy.: People probably already did some research on what you’re trying to sell to them.
Post better pictures.
after I sold that grill I was hyped to sell more things.
I bought a new basketball with the new money. This was my first amount of money I earned.
Today I will be talking about how to use clear copywriting so that your reader will be interested in your content.
1.Use simple words:Simple words are easy for people to read so you don’t have to figure out what that specific word means. Instead talk in the way you talk with your friends, in that easy simple language.
2. Be specific: When you’re not being specific your customer will not know what you are trying to say or sell. So they will be confused about what you’re trying to sell. But when you be specific to your reader they will read It throughly. For example, instead of saying , “he is good at sports and can run fast.”You should say “he is good at basketball and has a pace of 6:26”. That is more specific than number one, just those little more describable words.
3. Go straight to the point: When you linger around the point of your copywriting, people will get bored and throw your ad away. So when you keep it short and straight to the point the person will be able to pay attention and know what you are trying to sell or advertise.
Now you know how to write clear copywriting. Thank you for watching my video, if you like it please share and subscribe.
