In fact, if you never encounter resistance, you need to re-evaluate what it is you're doing.If you are trying to do something BIG, you WILL encounter resistance.
I've been encouraging you to do big things online.
Because of this, I thought it would be fitting to get Guy Kawasaki on the line to talk about how to use Enchantment to overcome resistance.
Who is Guy Kawasaki? He's co-founder of Alltop.com, founding partner at Garage Technology Ventures, former “chief-evangelist” of Apple, and author of not 1, but 10 BOOKS.
He has accomplished a lot, both online and off.
In this interview, Guy talks about much more than enchantment. Here are some of the points we covered:
- Specific things about his childhood that contributed to his success.
- How he was enchanted by the Macintosh and how Apple uses enchantment
- How he used enchantment to win over developers to the Macintosh way of doing things
- Why we need to enchant people and how to do so
- The difference between Push and Pull technology and why we need to use both
- How to use Twitter effectively to market your business
- How to use Facebook effectively to market your business
According to Guy, the key to enchantment is likeability, trustworthiness, and Quality. Applying those 3 elements to your online (or offline) business can transform your business in a dynamic way.
There was a lot covered in the 34 minutes of this interview, so listen in, and enjoy!
If you need to enchant people, you're doing something meaningful. If you're doing something meaningful, you need enchantment – Guy Kawasaki
