Study human behavior, storytelling, marketing, big ideas, biological problems, and yourself.

Grabbing and holding attention is the skill of all skills.

Human behavior, why?

If you want to change the world, solve problems, or build any kind of money-making solutions — you will have to spark positive behavior change.

Habits, biases, psychology, etc.

Making people read, watch, or listen is different from changing behavior.
Storytelling.

Well-aligned with human behavior.

Storytelling = transformations and overcoming hardships. Humans love that shit.

They are relatable and reveal the path to overcoming your own obstacles.
Marketing & big ideas.

Catching and holding people's attention with your value (whether it be a product, content, or just in everyday situations).

All of these overlap.

You need to be able to grab, hold, and "convert" attention.

To make money, meet people, or spark change.
Biological problems.

Health, wealth, and relationships.

If you can solve a problem within these verticals / eternal markets, you are set.

Solve your own > teach others > refine your system > help others with your system.

Make it easy and implementable.
Yourself.

Self-observation is a lost art.

If you can dive deep and understand WHY you do the things you do, you begin to understand the world as a whole.

In terms of business, you make market research seamless if you are helping others solve problems you've solved in yourself.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"


The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.

1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!

2) "Repressed memory" syndrome

3) Facilitated Communication [FC]

All 3 led to massive abuse.

"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.

Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.

FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
