Dale Carnegie - One of the Greatest Books Ever Written

If you are looking for a book that will lead you to success, I highly recommend you check out Dale Carnegie, 'How To Win Friends & Influence People. If you have not read it, you need to get your hands on a copy, and if you have, you need to re-read it, study it, and live by it for it is an amazing book.Dale Carnegie had an understanding of human nature that will never be outdated.Whether you are in business or not, dealing with people is probably the biggest challenge you will face in life. Some years ago, research was done by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and they uncovered an incredible fact...about 15% of a persons financial success is due to their technical knowledge and... about 85% is due to skills in human engineering...personality and the ability to lead people.Did you notice that little light bulb just turn on??If you are using the technology and systems to grow your business, you need to connect with people and build relationships. Its
not about how many friends you have on Facebook or Twitter. That will just add numbers under your belt for your ego.True success comes when you can make connections on some level...and making an emotional connection is extremely powerful.The number 1 requirement on how to get the most out of the book is this you must have a deep, driving, desire to learn, and, an unstoppable determination to increase your ability to deal with people.The more you practice what is taught on the pages, the more natural it will become, otherwise the information will be forgotten. Learning is an active process...we learn by doing.One of the deepest urges in human nature as stated in the book is the desire to be important. The way to make a person shine and help them to become the best they can be is by giving them encouragement and appreciation.Praise carries people so much further than criticism. Take the focus off of yourself and direct it onto others. You will start to see immediate change.Th
e only real way to influence someone is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it. This book will explain questions to ask yourself before you communicate with someone. Questions like...'How can I make this person do...?' It will make you stop and think before rushing into a situation prematurely.There is a great quote that pretty much sums it up. 'Learn to see John Smith through John Smith's eyes'. If you can master this art, and yes, it is an art, you will travel down the road to success.This is a skill that must be learned, so give it time to get it right. As they say...'Practice makes perfect!'
