The Unlimited Potential Show I Relatable Self Development

Welcome back to the Unlimited Potential Show! This week we are starting a six-part series on the trailblazing book “How To Win Friends And Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. This book has been mentioned as one of the most influential books by some of the highest performers around the world. That’s pretty amazing for a book written in 1936!

While 2022 may seem like a world away, this book is stuffed with insight and wisdom that has withstood the test of time. If you want to create deep connections with others and positively influence the future of our world, then don’t miss this series! Hit play to join the conversation and gain foundational principles that will serve you (and others) for years to come.

In today’s episode, we talk about the three fundamental principles of handling people. Dale Carnegie summed it up best with this quote:

“If you want to gather honey, don’t knock over the beehive.”

While we would never willingly upset a swarm of bees, our actions towards others tend to lean towards the negative. Listen in as we discuss the importance of not criticizing, condemning, or complaining when motivating others to work alongside you. This may seem like a no-brainer but it happens more often than you think.

Join us as we discuss the basic human psychology of self-preservation and how criticizing and condemning will only build walls between you and those you interact with. We talk about the power of praise and how focusing on the good things instills healthy habits deeper into their routine. You’ll learn the best tips and tricks to stir up people’s deepest wants and help motivate them to be all in for your cause. It doesn’t have to be ‘my way or the highway’, this episode is all about making sure everyone goes home a winner.

Hit play to see how you can start influencing positive change today! If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to share it with a friend, co-worker, or even family member to help unlock their Unlimited Potential! For more resources or to connect with us, check out the links below!
