Jeff Lerner Shares 7 Skills That Will Make You Rich

When you’re looking for a job, it’s easy to focus on the wrong skills. You need more than just technical expertise and a degree from an elite school. Instead, take these 7 steps to become the best candidate in any interview situation: 1) Know your story(s). Your life is unique–and that uniqueness will be one of your greatest assets 3) Practise confidence & charisma 4) Practice articulating what you want 5) Prepare as though this was court 6) Learn how to close well 7)- Pick up some acting chops

According to Jeff Lerner, the fact that the majority of people are living paycheck to paycheck is a shame. We all have access to knowledge that may assist us in developing new abilities. And the correct talents may be quite valuable. It’s critical that you connect the dots. “If I want to make more money, I need to be more valuable.” I need to add more value to what I have to give. Then I have to go out and use these new talents to provide that greater value.” Otherwise, you’ll sabotage yourself.

You won’t earn more money if you don’t feel you deserve it deep down. You’ll waste it even if you do. Take, for example, lottery winners. Within five years, 70% of them will be bankrupt. “As human beings, we don’t appreciate getting money that we don’t feel like we worked hard for and deserve,” Jeff explains. So stop whining about how money is needed to earn money. Statistics show that if money is provided to you, you will be worse off in the long term.

Acquiring new skills is the only way to really advance. Jeff understands this better than anybody else. He was completely broke in 2008. After failing at 10 separate enterprises, he is now half a million dollars in debt. He had attempted to cheat his way to victory each time. He was more concerned with making fast money than with leveling up. Finally, he encountered someone online who corrected him. They informed him that it wasn’t about getting into the right opportunity at the right moment, but rather about working on himself. Developing into a person who is competent and worthy of greater money.

So Jeff went ahead and did it. Selling was the first ability that helped him get wealthy. And his most important sales tip is to develop an emotional connection with the person you’re attempting to sell to, rather than following some magical script. Make direct eye contact. Genuine enthusiasm. Enthusiasm. Body language is an important aspect of communication. Animation. Positivity. Reciprocity. Posing open-ended questions Isn’t it all of the above? The second skill is public speaking. Jeff became a member of a local Toastmasters club, and he recommends that you do the same. Do your palms sweat and your pulse beat just thinking about it? Perfect. That is precisely why you must take action.

Copywriting is the third skill. Using the written word to persuade others. How do you get proficient at it? Study video and written sales letters, according to Jeff. Slowly go through them and make handwritten notes. Make a mental note of what they’re doing, your response, and why you believe they did it. Did sharing a statistic, for example, reassure you that they understood what they were talking about? Probably. The more you reverse engineer excellent copy, the more like yourself you’ll become.

Leadership is the fourth skill. It’s the barrier that prevents you from realizing your full potential. That’s because other people can’t be led by someone who isn’t as good as them at leading. The project is led by whomever is the best leader. Jeff’s leadership advise is to constantly inquire how you can make the lives of people you’re attempting to lead simpler. It’s not about how to persuade people to do what you want; it’s about how to make it easier for them to acquire what they need. Time management is the fifth skill. “Show me your calendar, and I’ll show you your future,” says the narrator.

Money management is the sixth skill to acquire in order to get wealthy. Mastering the art of money handling and really knowing the language of money. Obsessing about making a profit. Increasing revenue while keeping costs in control. Emotional intelligence is the seventh and final talent. It’s all about learning to distinguish between emotions and actions. To put it another way, it’s not freaking out when things go wrong, and maybe more importantly, doing the things you know you should do even when you don’t want to.
