The world will stand still and listen when powerful people step to the center stage and speak. powerful people know their onions and seem to possess what makes other people to flock around them in numbers. If you care to learn the laws of power, then this article is written for you.
Few days back, a friend of mine was in my room and after we discussed over some issues relating to my business, I went outside for a moment and returned to see my friend reading a copy of this article. He was so fancinated about the article that he began to ask me questions. He told me that he has been wondering why people like to flock around me and that this article has answered the question.
If you are ready to be a people person, if you are ready to talk and people will listen to you, if you are ready to make friends and influence people positively, then read on. I will share with you three principles that will work for you because they worked for me.
1. Go the extra mile for others
I realized that in life, the people that are more inclined to help you are people you have helped in one way or the other. This is coherent with the equity theory.
The equity theory states that in every relationship, people evaluate their gains and pains. An average person wants to be friends with people that are better than them. That is, people they can gain from. A powerful person learns to make positive imbalances in his/her relationship with others by giving more than they receive.
Be a giver. When you are always giving, the other person may feel indebted to you in some ways. More so, understand that every human may be selfish or self-centered by nature. Therefore, you may not expect others to make sacrifices for you when you have never sacrificed anything for them.
When you help others, you help yourself too. Remember, when you point a finger at the other person, the remaining fingers will be pointed towards you. Renowned motivational speaker and writer, Zig Ziglar says this: "You can get anything in life by helping enough other people get what they want."
2. Make history
Be a part of someone's history. Some people come into our lives and go like that, while some come into our lives and make us better. Your success story may be incomplete without some people who gave you a helping hand when you felt like throwing in the towel.
Few years ago, I was at an event and Professor Pat Utomi was a guest speaker. He said: "There are two types of immortality; Seeing God face to face, and living in the heart of men." You can be immortalized in the hearts of men. It will be bad if after your physical death, everything about you dies. You can die physically, and still be alive, only in the hearts of men.
3. Be principled. One thing common to powerful people is that they are principled. They don't just do something for the fun of it. They do everything they do for a reason. They know what they want in life and know exactly how to get it.
Discipline yourself. Let people know your core values. Start now by identifying the things that matter most to you in life, and prioritize that list.
Remember that being powerful is not about manipulating or oppressing others, but by understanding the new laws of power.
