Up front
I just wanted to take a few at the eginning of this ook to ta!k to you" one on
one#
Bear with me" I want to e as open and honest as I can here#
I started this ook a whi!e ack" got some messages together from my !og and
$uotes from other peop!e#
Then I thought" is this rea!!y how I wou!d want to see this%
Then I threw the who!e thing out and decided to start over#
I don&t mean to come to you as someone with a white oard" in front of a
c!assroom#
Instead" I want to have you consider it is just you and I" sitting y the fire"
drinking tea and getting to know each other#
'hat I am writing in this ook is a compi!ation of information that I have
gathered from a !ot of different sources#
(ea!!y it is a unch of mentors) *ssorted authors" different ooks" videos"
success coaches" peop!e who have what I want" and from !ife#
You are going to recogni+e some of what I am putting in here" ecause you may
have read some of the ooks#
,ther things are from my own e-periences" as we!!#
I don&t have everything in my !ife" yet#
I don&t c!aim to e an e-pert#

To e honest" I am writing this ook as much for me" as I am for you#
It can he!p to c!arify your thoughts when you ta!k to someone e!se aout it" and
that is what this ook is aout#
I can te!! you" I have had some great successes with this information#
I have my hea!th" even after cancer#
I have the most ama+ing woman in the wor!d" to me#
I have made some money using the information . maye not as much as I want"
yet### ut working at it#
I am not rea!!y writing this so much to make money though . I wou!dn&t e
giving this ook away for free if that was what was important here#
I hope" as you read this ook" that some of it resonates for you#
I know if you are reading it" you are proa!y someone !ike me" who is !ooking
for a!! the answers to make !ife sudden!y c!ick into p!ace#
I don&t know if it wi!!" or not" with what you are getting from me###
But I hope it he!ps#
*s you go through the ook" I don&t promise perfection#
/y intent is the message" not grammar#
I have no idea how !ong it is going to e" and I am kind of shooting from the
hip instead of an out!ine#
I don&t e-pect anything from you### I hope to he!p#

I origina!!y thought aout making catchy tit!es for the chapters" ut then
rea!i+ed that the tit!e of it didn&t matter#
'hat I say here matters more#
Let me start with what I think is the asic of a!! of this#
ommunication.
If you want to !earn something" or share it" you need to e a!e to ta!k to
someone#
It cou!d e writing" it cou!d e !istening#
If you are in front of them" it cou!d e gestures#
The on!y way you are going to get to know someone is y communicating#
If you want to get to know someone" to ecome their friend" or come to
understand them" you need to ta!k to the#
'hen I thought aout this one" it rea!!y came down to me that my !ife fai!ures
and successes have a!! come to this one thing#
I have fai!ed at a !ot of re!ationships#
I have fai!ed at usinesses#
I have near!y fai!ed some c!asses in schoo!#
'hy%
Because I didn&t communicate#
8/12/2019 Empowered by Tavius Southard
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/empowered-by-tavius-southard 10/64
Sometimes I didn&t say what was on my mind" other times I didn&t !isten#
I think that !istening is as important as ta!king . proa!y more so#
I wou!d !ike to hear what your thoughts are" and at the end of the ook I wi!!have some information aout how you can share them with me#
/eanwhi!e" I write this with what I know#
'hen I was a kid" I got picked on a !ot#
I know it was u!timate!y my own fau!t" ecause of how I communicated#
I was" to e !unt" a smartass#
I had moved so many times" I knew it didn&t matter how I treated other
peop!e###I wou!d e gone again in a month#
That worked for me pretty we!!" for a whi!e#
Then a!! of a sudden my mother decided to stay in one p!ace#
It was third grade" and !ike any other p!ace" I was sti!! a smartass#
'hat the he!! . I wi!! e gone again ne-t month###
But it didn&t happen2
*!! of a sudden" I was having to !ive with the conse$uences#
I !earned a !ot from that#
Later" when I had !earned to ta!k to others and rea!i+e that they mattered" that is
when !ife got to e etter#
I know that my re!ationship that is so good now is ecause of how we are
8/12/2019 Empowered by Tavius Southard
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/empowered-by-tavius-southard 11/64
comp!ete!y open with one another" and how we !isten to each other#
The reason I got sa!es" when I worked retai!" was ecause I !istened to other
peop!e and he!ped them find what they wanted#
The point is" if you want to get somewhere" !earn to !isten to the other person
more than you ta!k#
It wi!! do wonders2
The communication you have !eads to something e!se###
!nderstandin".
This is more than just understanding what you read" or what they try and teach
you in schoo!#
You want to understand the person you are ta!king to#
You understand where your est friend is coming from" right%
It is the same thing" if you want a good re!ationship" or a good usiness#
If you understand your customer" you ond with them#
'hen you ond with someone" you have more inf!uence#
If someone !ikes you" they wi!! e more !ike!y to uy from you" or he!p you out
if you need it#
Think aout it###
Let me paint a picture for you#
You want to get a new ce!! phone#

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/empowered-by-tavius-southard 12/64
You know the company you want to get it from" ecause they have the est
dea!s#
*s you go to the store to get it" the person who comes up to you and snaps at
you" 3'hat do you want%3
You immediate!y don&t trust him" ecause of how he comes at you#
You know he doesn&t understand you" doesn&t care aout you" and doesn&t rea!!y
want to e there anyway#
If you wa!k into another store" !ooking for the same thing" the sa!esman who
comes up to you asks" 34ow can I he!p you%3
That kind of reaks the ice" ut it is how he comes to you with it that ui!ds the
trust#
If he !istens" makes suggestions" and genuine!y comes to you in a way that
shows he actua!!y cares" you start to understand each other#
You fee! you can trust this person" and you proa!y uy from him#
'hat it comes down to is that the first person didn&t show any interest in
!earning aout you" and rea!!y didn&t want to understand you#
The second one did#
It is the same in any re!ationship" whether it is persona! or professiona!#
(ememer that as you go a!ong" it wi!! he!p you a !ot#

If you are !ike me" you have picked up ook after ook" read artic!es on!ine"
watched videos" and seen a !ot aout the !aw of attraction#
If you aren&t fami!iar" !et me give a short description#
In essence" it says that what you think aout positive!y is what you get#
I wi!! give you my take on it . you may fee! this way" or not#
In essence" what is true for you is what is true###
I do agree that how you think is going to make a difference in what you get#
If you are spending a !ot of time thinking that you wi!! never get what you
want" you won&t#
The reason is that you wi!! give up easi!y" and wi!! do things that stop you from
getting it#
If you fee! you can get it" know that you can get it###
That is when you are going to keep going and make it happen#
I think it is something unconcious . if you e!ieve it can happen" things are
going to fa!! in p!ace more easi!y#
There is one ig thing that is !eft out in ooks !ike the secret though#
The !aw of attraction is on!y ha!f the att!e#
You sti!! need to do something2
If you don&t get up and work at it" you aren&t going to get it#

*re you going to win the !ottery without a ticket%
It is the same in a re!ationship . if you see that man" or that woman" that you
want in your !ife#
If you don&t get up and reak the ice" ta!k to them" you aren&t going to have it
happen#
You see it time and time again#
/aye it has een you#
The same goes for a usiness#
Un!ess you step out on a !im and at !east try" there is aso!ute!y 6, way it wi!!
happen2
So here is my own recommendation on how to use the !aw of attraction#
7ecide what you want#
Start to have confidence that it can happen#
7o something toward it happening#
6otice if it happened or not#
(inse and repeat unti! it does#

If you !eave it at that" you may find that you make an e-tra 91:#

4e wanted enough money to get a mea! and a p!ace to s!eep#
4e got that#
Looking ack" he rea!i+ed that if he had asked for more" he cou!d have gotten
it#

It doesn&t matter#
You need to write it down#
Be sure that you reward yourse!f" and write it as if it has a!ready happened#
Then you need to e!ieve it#
Be!ieve you can get it#
Even if you aren&t sure how" you need to have some kind of goa! that you think

Take your !essons from that ay#

Sudden!y" he didn&t2
Every fai!ure wasn&t a fai!ure#
It was a !esson#
It is the same for you" no matter what you do#
You want to find a date%
She said no#
You find out why#
You ask again" in a different way#
She says no#
You get to know her etter Anot ST*L@I6? her" mind you2###
You ask again###
Sudden!y" she says YES2
You tried to c!ose the sa!e#
The customer says no#
8/12/2019 Empowered by Tavius Southard
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/empowered-by-tavius-southard 22/64
You ask them what their concern is#
You answer their $uestions and e-p!ain why this is the est thing for them#
You ask again if they want it#
They say yes2
It is persistence" and faith that wi!! get you there#
Use the stuff I mentioned efore . communicate" !isten" understand them" ui!d
a re!ationship" get their trust" and !et them see how you care what is good for them#
There is one !itt!e trick that I !earned that can he!p immense!y###
It is ca!!ed the assumptive c!ose#
It can work in anything" if you have done the aove#
If you understand them" get their trust" actua!!y 0*(E aout them" and want
the est thing for them#
4ow does it work%
You are asking her for the date#
(ather than saying" 3do you want to go out%3" change it to" 3'hat time shou!d I
pick you up%3 or 3'hich restaurant shou!d we go to%3
If you are se!!ing a car" and they are !ooking at two different mode!s" you ask
them" 37o you want the red one" or the white one% Let&s go do the paperwork#3
*s you can see" you are assuming that the answer is yes" you are asking them to
decide etween * or B#

This can e used for anything#
It may e that it doesn&t work" ut if you have the rapport" and the trust" you
wi!! e surprised how often it 7,ES work#
I want to stress here" when you are ui!ding the re!ationship" you need to e
honest aout it#
7on&t !ead them to think something that isn&t true#
7on&t make them think you care if you don&t#
'hen they see it" they wi!! never trust you again#
Cery proa!y" they wou!d never uy from you in the first p!ace" ecause they
can te!!#
'ou!d you%
/ake sure you e!ieve in what you are se!!ing as we!!#

The same thing happens in some re!ationships#
You are ama+ed at how eautifu! your partner is" and you get this fascinationfor them#
The reason so many re!ationships fa!! apart is that there is nothing e!se there#
'hen you !ose the !ove" the passion for what you found" it wi!! eventua!!y fa!!
apart#
'hen you are se!!ing" you need to convey that passion to your customer aswe!!#
Even if you don&t think you are se!!ing" you *(E2
For instance" if you want to have that re!ationship" you need to se!! the other
person on you#
If you do we!! at it" then it happens#
If you don&t" it doesn&t#
But it is a!! sa!es#
/y point" though" is that you need to fee! it to your ones that what you are
doing is right#
If it is something that you don&t fee! is right" or that you can&t get the passion
for" you need to find something e!se to do#
If you are se!!ing cigarettes and don&t e!ieve that peop!e shou!d smoke . then
find something e!se2
