The Art Of Misdirection

We’re Not Talking Mind Control, Are We?

Do you think it’s possible to control someone’s attention? Or predict their behavior? Imagine the things you could do, if you could control someone’s mind. In a very uncanny way, a pickpocket teaches us a great deal about getting people’s attention.

Hailed as the greatest pickpocket in the world, Apollo Robbins has studied human behavior for the past twenty years from a very unorthodox way, by picking pockets. As he describes and you will see in the video below, people often think about misdirection as something off to the side when in fact it is often right in front of them.

If you were able to keep up with him in the video, you’ll recall how Apollo introduced us to our inner security guard, whom he’s named “Frank.” Just in case you were misdirected and missed it, Frank’s job is to process our sensory input and then react accordingly. However, Frank can’t react to something new, if he is already focused on something else.

In fact, this concept was illustrated beautifully when Apollo brought a member of the audience onstage to demonstrate how focusing on something right in front of them hampered their ability to focus on everything else. Is there an ethical way of controlling someone’s mind, or behaviors?

Consumer Purchasing Power and Behavior

In our blog post “Getting to Yes“ we talked about some of the basic reasons why people buy something. What we didn’t talk about and what you may not even realize is how long you’ve been a consumer with purchasing power. In fact, you probably never realized you even had this awesome power when you did. Do you remember when you were first asked what you want to eat for breakfast? Or what toys you put on your first list to Santa for Christmas?

Even if you were not aware at the time, the decisions you were making were developing the rules by which you would make future purchasing decisions. Consumer behavior, often at the subconscious level, is influenced by things like our environment and the current situation we’re in, personal and psychological factors, family, culture, and more often than not by marketing factors that are controlled by the marketer.

Businesses and marketers are constantly trying to figure out trends and what makes buyers buy, so they can better reach those individuals who are most likely to buy their products. And in their efforts to do so, they often try to influence the consumer’s behavior with things they can control. Things we take for granted and never think twice about like a stores layout, arrangement and grouping of products, product pricing and discounts, and especially the advertising message.

Each of these many factors can affect the buyers behavior. Some of these influences are temporary, while others are not. Either way, these factors typically influence the way you make a purchase, what additional products you buy, or why you keep your money in your pocket and buy nothing at all.

It’s Really Not Misdirection

When all is said and done the steps a marketer takes to improve the sales of a product or service, just like in the Apollo Robbins video above, is really not misdirection at all. In both instances specific and precise steps are being taken to actually direct the “buyer” or pickpockets’ “target” to perform a specific action or head in a defined direction.

In the case of the true pickpocket unethical steps are actually being taken, because one person is trying to take something that doesn’t belong to them. However, in the case of the marketer they are using ethical practices (note… and we totally discourage any unethical practices) to point out the benefits and features that their solution has in such a way that the buyer subconsciously agrees with them and buys the offer at hand.

Getting into the minds of your target audience and knowing what makes them tick is a very powerful ability. As Maslow theorized in his hierarchy of needs, once people have fulfilled their basic needs— things like food, water, and sleep—only then can they begin to fulfill their higher-level needs. In fact, Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever”.

Learning how to properly “direct” a buyer through the decision making process is a goal that you will want to master. Doing so will allow you to fulfill their higher-level needs and to sell more products and/or services.

Hopefully you’ve come to understand that the art of misdirection is really an art of direction, and that mastering and applying it ethically can give you an enormous advantage in business. We will continue exploring and discussing this concept in more detail in future postings, so make sure you stay connected with us and…

Until then,
To Your Success!

Optimal Living

Look up the word optimal and it is defined as best, most favorable, or most desirable. So what does “Optimal Living” mean and of course, what does it have to do with the Millionaire Success Network?

When you ask someone about how their weekend went or how they’re doing, the standard response is, “fine” or “not bad”. However, getting them to talk about all the great and wonderful things that might have happened is almost like pulling teeth.

On the other hand, when you ask them about some of the “problems” in their life you can’t get them to shut up. It’s like you opened up the flood gates and all their worries, concerns, and issues come pouring out.

Seems like people love to talk about their problems and have no idea how to talk about anything else – especially the good stuff.

If everyone has so many problems, it must mean that no one is living an “optimal life” right?

Turn on the television and you’ll see celebrities having a good time at a party, top athletes rubbing elbows with supermodels, rich, successful businessmen and women living the “good” life with their fancy cars and decked out homes.

Most people see this and think, “Oh, they must have it good! They must be living that Optimal Life!”

It reminds us of the saying that goes, “the grass is always greener on the other side.” And if you’ve never heard this saying, it means that something else always looks better than what you’ve got… that is until you get to the other side. Then you might wish that you were back where you started.

Now I’m not going to lie. Money and success does have its perks. In fact, there’s another saying that goes, “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor; Believe me honey, rich is better.”

That doesn’t mean that having money means living an optimal life though.

So let’s go back to the original question. What does optimal living mean?

And the answer is another question…

That question is, “What do you want?”

You see, optimal living is going to be different for everyone. You have it within your power to live an optimal life if you so choose. Most people just don’t think about it and therefore let life lead them instead of leading their life.

Onto our third saying, “Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, ‘what the hell just happened?’”

Which one are you?

It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, sick or healthy, single or married, or whatever, you get to decide what an optimal life is and what is not for you.

So are you living an optimal life? One way to find out is to sit down and answer these following questions as truthfully and honestly as you can:

“Am I contented with my life today?”
“Am I happy with the way my family treats me?”
“Do I think I have some good friends?”
“Am I insecure about money and the future?”
“Am I happy with my job?”
“Am I satisfied with my sex life?”

So how’d you do?

How do you feel after answering those questions?

Do you feel happy? Sad? Worried? Content? Resolved?

Our goal here at the Millionaire Success Network is to help you achieve your optimal life. For many people, that might require some additional funds and freedoms. That’s why we work to teach you how to make money online for extra income and so you can control you time. Work when you want to work. Play when you want to play. And focus on having the right mindset for success.

Remember, money doesn’t buy you happiness.

Money can enable you to live an easier life though. It can help you alleviate some financial debt from school loans, business debt and more. It can pay for healthier foods instead of canned soup and ramen noodles. It can provide you with a nice home where the roof doesn’t leak or the toilet doesn’t run.

It can’t buy you true happiness, real friends, a loving family, and a sense of fulfillment from doing something truly spectacular that only you can accomplish.

Have you ever finished first in a race? How did you feel?

Have you ever worked so hard at something and then finally completed it. How did you feel?

Have you ever received a high school diploma, college degree, or advanced degree? How did you feel?

Did you ever get married to your one, true love? How did you feel?

Money cannot give you any of that.

Laziness, complaining, griping cannot give you that.

All the wishing and thinking in the world cannot give you that.

Only through the right mindset, attitude, and massive action can you achieve an optimal life.
