James Malinchak And Joe Martin's Make People Feel Good About Themselves
What's one thing everybody wants, but are not willing to ask? Believe it or not, it's PRAISE! Think about it. When was the last time you said to your boss, "I have been having a rough day. Will you please give me some praise?" We know it may sound a little ridiculous, but would not it be nice if you received praise anyway without ever having to ask for it? In his book, The Positive Power of Praising People, Jerry Twentier says, "Praise is a basic need that we all develop after birth." Even before we entered grade school, or ever learned how to walk, we have craved a parent's attention. We wanted assurance that we were loved, approved and needed.
The surprising thing is that this need to be recognized and respected for our uniqueness did not stop in our childhood. The truth is, this need increased and matured. As we entered elementary school, we sought to be recognized by the teacher for being smart or talented. In middle school and high school, we wanted to be seen as cool and accepted by our peers. As we entered our college years, pleasing our parents with our grades, athletic, or scholastic achievements became increasingly important.
Upon graduation, we wanted others to think we were successful, and we had made something of ourselves. Because of this need for recognition, most of us either anticipate or dread going to our high school reunions. We've also wanted our parents to be proud of us and our achievements. The list goes on. We're sure you can think of a few more example that we've probably left out.
The point is that underlining this need for acceptance, encouragement, respect, appreciation, love, approval, and recognition is the desire to be praised for who we are and what we do. The truth of the matter is there is nothing wrong with it. It's perfectly normal. Of course, some people can take this to the extreme and can't function unless they're praised and approved by others. This isn't healthy for a successful life because, in reality, most of us don't and won't receive the recognition we deserve. That's why we'll show you how to take advantage of this fact so you could take charge of your career.
Make Praise Work for You. It's easy to build a successful network of contacts. One of the secrets is to make people feel good about themselves whenever they're around you. You do that by praising them. Whenever you do this, you'll find that people will want to associate with you on a regular basis. It's easy because so few people ever do it. Think about it, do you like to associate with people who make you feel bad about yourself? Of course not, you'll find your strongest relationships are those that nurture your self-worth and your outlook on the future. In order to build a solid base of contacts, constantly search for ways to praise people and make them feel good about themselves. In turn, these same people will feel good about you and about referring business to you.
