Great post Perry! This is exactly the boost I needed today to get me over my own "fears" of taking the next step. I recall a blog post by Katie Freiling about how these fears are actually an addiction that we are training our body and mind to crave. It's time for an intervention of your fears.

Thanks Perry

Thanks so much for this post, Perry. It gave me a great idea. I've written a one hour+ free workshop script. I'm going to record it and send people to my website, but first I'm going to re-do my website.

I'm also going to give this workshop live, but it gives me the jutters to make the initial calls, but I'm going to do it anyway.

I have the solution for the troubles between adults and kids, including the one about developing these fears you mentioned in your post.

It's not a matter of supressing the 3-year-old or the 13 year old, it's a matter of helping them keep their authority but in harmony with the others in their life. That way they grow up keeping their authority but they know how to use it in harmony with others.

This solution, I call it the Power of Respect, also prevents anyone from growing up with a loose screw, even the kind that doesn't care. That is the result of getting stuck fighting for the right to have their authority, but not knowing how to have it in harmony with other.

This is my life work. I'm beginning to share it massively. Thanks for this opportunity to get something straight: let kids keep their authority, but demonstrate and show them how to maintain that authority in harmony with others…so many of humanity's troubles would vanish.

Thanks again,

Briget Brennan, author of the new book "Why She Buys" does an excellent job of differentiating buying habits between men and women, indicating that of all categories, gender is the most important. There are many key points to be made and one is: Whether in face to face or on line Women are the force behind the "Thank You Note" -They want to send them, sometimes with gifts, and they want to receive them. Its a validation of the original purchase and the relationship established with the seller.Seems only men online don't care one way or the other.

Hey, Perry,

going through my mail, there*s tons of it, and I*m definitely myself to ignoring most of it; however, yours stick out. I won*t say we speak the same language YET (seriously, ad-language makes me just go over utterly blank at this point; but then, ad-language is hardly *the point* to me, and it doesn*t need to be either, does it now?)
Read your blog on Owning Your Authority, and liked it a lot. Liked the email you sent where you encourage your clients to dump whatever is not performing up to their wishes and expectations; "bad influence" has been the topic of the day for me these past few days, and this has resonated. Thanks! I*ll keep on the look-out for more mail from you.
Cheers,
Romana V.

Good article. It brings out 2 important points, direct marketing also needs a sale to be asked in the end.

Even in direct response marketing don't hold back – when you have managed to press the right buttons – ask for that sale.

Really nice post. I always hold back or scream in users face. I need to find that right mix of soft pitch and then asking for the sale at the right time.
