True Story: CIA’s Control Over America’s Top Model

By Blog, Hypnosis 3 Comments

With her long blonde hair and perfect features, Candy

Jones was America’s most famous model…

In just one month…

Her face could be seen on the cover of 11 magazines.

It was 1943…and we were in the middle World War II…

She spent her time traveling throughout the war zone…boosting soldiers’ moral…she was a true patriot…

Supporting her country even after the war…

Candy Jones was approached by the United States Government and asked to use her NYC modeling agency as a drop off/pick up point for “sensitive” letters…she didn’t hesitate to answer “YES”.

What she was blind to see…

She was about to become a puppet on their strings to be pulled.

The CIA would groom her as their hypnoprogrammed courier…whose mission would be to store information deep inside her unconscious mind – with no possibility of the enemy retrieving it…thus creating the perfect spy.

Model turned secret agent, sounds like something Hollywood would dream up…

But I assure you, it’s not!

Welcome to the Dark Side of Covert Hypnosis!

It’s Darker and More Powerful than you ever thought possible…

Until tomorrow…

Warmly,

Kernick

P.S. There is no going back. Once you walk through the doors of possibility…get ready for your mind to be blown wide open.

Outdone by a Teenager

By Contests 1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to go and spend some time with my wife's relatives.

I was excited to see a ping-pong table in her parent's living room...

When I was young, I used to love playing ping-pong and was pretty good, if I do say so myself. I eagerly looked for my first victim as everyone said their "hellos."

As my eyes caught the stare of a young teenager, he gave me a devilish grin and said, "are you ready?"

I was smiling on the inside...figuring I was about to wipe that look right off his face!

We started hitting the ball back and forth for a few minutes and I realized a couple of things...first, it had been many many years since I held a ping-pong paddle in my hands...and clearly my "chops" were not up to par.

Second, he seemed to be extremely comfortable in his game and had zero trouble keeping up.

This was a bit disconcerting...but it was about to get much worse.

Shocking me into silence...he asked if I was ready to begin a "real" game...

Someone’s KILLING Your Relatives

By Persuasion Fundamentals No Comments

Peter was down on his hands and knees...and the next few minutes would decide if his 20 million dollar project would get made into a movie.

But Peter was not begging for the cash...

Terry Semel, was the CEO of Warner Brothers and although he once showed support for the project his nerves were starting to fray... Gorillas in the Mist called for a tremendous budget.

And Terry greenlit a movie a few years ago that contained Gorillas...it was a financial flop.

Either way, Terry Semel was getting cold feet and Peter knew that he would have to move Terry emotionally if the movie was going to get made...

Peter was confident only way to get the YES was a purposeful story....

Peter walked into Terry Semel's office and before a word could be uttered, shouted, "Someone's killing your relatives."

Semel looked at him like he was nuts...as Peter went into a heartfelt story explaining...the Silverback Gorillas were being exterminated...then Peter reached into his pocket, pulling out pictures of ashtrays made from a gorilla's paw...

Peter hooked Semel into the story....

And Peter could see the moment when Semel was starting to turn the corner...but time was running out and Semel had another meeting to attend.

"Peter, let me think about." Semel said.

Peter knew...like any good storyteller, you have to be prepared to drop the script and improvise...just like Peter did.

He dropped down to the floor, laid on his back with his arms outstretched and said, "I am a wounded gorilla...if you are going to say no, it's to them, too. Here and now."

Two years later, Gorillas in the Mist was nominated for 5 Academy Awards.

You see...

Peter Guber is a storyteller...and he credits his business success to being able to tell a purposeful story.

Early on, Peter analyzed his successes and failures, when he was going for YES...and realized he failed more often then not, when he didn't persuade through story.

Failures came from using data, facts and firing off bullet points.

When he told a purposeful story, he emotionalized the information...and was able to move mountains, as well as, wallets.

In his best selling book, Tell to Win: Connect, Persuade, and Triumph with the Hidden Power of Story...Peter lets you in on the secrets to his success through story telling.

Find out how he came to own a NBA franchise, major league and minor league baseball teams, was CEO of Sony and has been a professor at UCLA for over twenty years.

Warmly, Kenrick Cleveland

P.S. One of the secrets to Peter Guber's success was knowing the power of his own story.

The Tragic Tale of Phinease Gage

By Persuasion Fundamentals No Comments

Phineas GageThe year was 1848 and what started as an ordinary day for Phinease P. Gage…was going to change history more than 125 years later..including the way you get YES’s today.

Phinease was 25 years old, a construction foreman and one the finest employees of the Ruthland & Burlington Railroad company out of Vermont.

He was the most competent man the company ever had employed.

Phinease was in charge of a large group of men, whose job was to lay down the new railroad tracks for the expansion across Vermont.

This was no easy task…

Sure, they could have gone around the mountains, but they wanted a much straighter path, causing Phinease to break out the dynamite.

Phinease was no stranger to this type of work, but on this day, something went terribly wrong…

KA-BOOM…

…the dynamite exploded in front of Phinease’s face…causing a 3 foot 7 inch, 13 pound iron bar to enter his left check, and exit by rocketing through the base of his skull…landing over 100 feet away from wounded Phinease.

Phinease was blown back by the force of the explosion…and everyone thought he was about to meet his maker. It was a miracle…

Phinease stood up like nothing ever happened.

His workers rushed him to the local doctor, who couldn’t believe the miracle before him…that not only Phinease was alive, but talking and coherent.

Two months later Phinease made a full recovery…or what they thought was a full recovery.

Yes, Phinease could talk, see, hear, walk and seemed perfectly normal to anyone that did not know him before the accident.

But there was much deeper issues…

Phinease wasn’t himself!

He could not make decisions, in-fact he made verypoor decisions.

He had zero self-control and the once responsible man turned into a loose cannon…a ticking time-bomb ready to explode at any minute.

His once faithful employer wouldn’t even hire him back…he could not hold a job…and even became a side-show freak at the circus…just to make ends meet.

Why?

What the doctors didn’t know back then, was that the injuries Phinease sustained, were to the emotional center of his brain…so even though Phinease seemed to fully recover from the accident…he was missing a core piece of his deeper self…his use of emotions.

And what science has proven over the last few decades is that our emotions control much more then we ever thought possible…including how and why we make decisions.

Yes, you might think you are making your decision based on facts and logic…but when you take away your emotions, formulating a correct decision is next to impossible.

Your emotions are what make you…well…you.They are what makes your prospect decideto say YES to you or No…

And when you understand how to appeal tothe unconscious mind (someone’s deeper self…the emotions), you have the blueprint to hearing YES’s in any type of communication.

It is really that simple…

And for a limited time only you can learn how to get YES’s in everything you do…by learning how to connect with the unconscious minds of your prospects…their emotions.

Once you understand the secrets to receiving YES’s in everything you do…the doors to the kingdom widely open.

Warmly, Kenrick

P.S. It has only been in the last few decades that Neuroscientist have realized the importance of our emotions and the unconscious mind…in every aspect of our lives.

We can thank Phinease Gage for the first documented case….of the power of our emotions in making decisions.

The unconscious mind is the key to YES…and the Persuasion Factor is the only place to discover how to unlock the minds of your prospects.

Focus

By Blog 2 Comments

As we work together to make 2012 the best year ever, I want to remind you of something that will help you considerably.

It's simple but in the past has not been easy.

It's focus.

What you focus on you bring to you.

In Kenrick Cleveland's Breakthroughs in Persuasion, there is a large community of very focused persuaders working to take their game to a whole new level. This requires focus. And it is one thing missing for many, including myself.

However, you and I both can change that.

Look at this image:

Look at the blue or green colors and watch how the circles move.

Now stop and realize that this is just an illusion.

When you are confronted with that next shiny object or get rich quick scheme, you are
losing focus.

Maintaining your focus on developing your persuasion skills is the answer to make 2012 your best year ever.

Let me show you something. Look at the image again. This time, just focus on any one of the black dots - et viola, they stop moving.

I suggest to my Kenrick Cleveland's Breakthroughs in Persuasion Coaching members that as we work together, keep your focus. And if ever you feel your focus is wavering, just remember the black dot... and return your focus to what is most important. Working to improve your persuasion skills is the one thing that can give you security and boost your income.
Give it the focus it deserves.

Here's to seeing black dots.
