The diabolical goal-setting method that never fails
Published: Mon, 01/11/21
But in the novel “Forrest Gump”, Forrest becomes an astronaut, goes to outer space, and crashes on an island in New Guinea. There he meets a tribe of cannibals, led by a Villain named Big Sam. Big Sam is Yale-educated, and even pokes fun at Forrest’s stint at Harvard.
The Villain also teaches Forrest how to play chess.
And Forrest — who has a natural talent for chess — continually beats Big Sam.
Each time they play, Big Sam gets closer to beating Forrest.
And with each game, it becomes clear Big Sam intends to eat Forrest when he eventually does win.
Inevitably, Forrest falls into a trap.
And, he knows he’s going to lose and has to think up a way to escape.
Anyway, here is the punchline:
Big Sam isn’t just frightening because he wants to eat Forrest.
He’s frightening because he knows he’s going to win.
And Forrest knows it, too, which makes him needy.
(After all, he needs to win or become lunch…)
Big Sam, on the other hand, doesn’t get needy or emotional, because he doesn’t need to win like Forrest does. If he did, he’d have been the mistake-prone one, and probably would never win.
So how did Big Sam create this mistake-creating neediness in Forrest?
The answer:
It’s the same secret used by many Super Villains of Persuasion — like the Villainous Borg, that used it in the Star Trek TV shows and movies and the Villain Glass in the movie “Unbreakable”. It’s also been used by many of the great negotiators, marketers, salesman, and other great influencers throughout the history and up to today.
It’s something so powerful it makes NOT attaining a goal almost impossible.
It makes winning all but inevitable.
And, it makes anxiety, frustration, and fear about accomplishing something practically null and void.
I don’t care if that accomplishment is to find a hot, pleasant, “ride-or-die” woman.
Or to make six or seven figures per year.
Or to get in shape.
Or to win an election.
Or… or… just about any goal you want to achieve.
You can read all about this goal-achievement secret used by many of the great Villains in chapter 8 of my “Super Villains of Persuasion” book.
