Technique #9 Watch the Scene Before You Make the Scene

Rehearse being the Super Somebody you want to be

ahead of time. SEE yourself walking around with Hang

by Your Teeth posture, shaking hands, smiling the

Flooding Smile, and making Sticky Eyes. HEAR yourself chatting comfortably with everyone. FEEL the

pleasure of knowing you are in peak form and everyone

is gravitating toward you. VISUALIZE yourself a Super

Somebody. Then it all happens automatically 

these first moments like a rocket taking off. When the folks at

Cape Kennedy aim a spacecraft for the moon, a mistake in the

millionth of a degree at the beginning, when the craft is still on

the ground, means missing the moon by thousands of miles. Likewise, a tiny body-language blooper at the outset of a relationship

may mean you will never make a hit with that person. But with

The Flooding Smile, Sticky Eyes, Epoxy Eyes, Hang by Your

Teeth, The Big-Baby Pivot, Hello Old Friend, Limit the Fidget,

Hans's Horse Sense, and Watch the Scene Before You Make the

Scene, you'll be right on course to get whatever you eventually

want from anybody—be it business, friendship, or love.

We now move from the silent world to the spoken word.
