My guest today is Bushra Azhar, The Queen of Persuasion. She believes that human beings are irrational and trying to persuade someone through a rational argument is like trying to stop a 5-year-old from ODing on M&Ms by recounting the evils of high fructose corn syrup. She is a self-made multi-millionaire and an international bestselling author on Selling & Consumer Behavior. She teaches tiny businesses how to make big bucks, using the Psychology of Persuasion and her students have used her persuasion hacks to make millions of dollars in 50+ different industries while slashing their ad spend by 80%. Here’s a sample of what you’ll hear on this episode: How Bushra went from being a self-made multimillionaire and a best-selling author on sales & consumer behavior The importance to go deep and not wide in your business The magic behind Bushra’s ability to get repeat customers again and again How Bushra deals with trolls on the internet And because this is a patriarchy smashing podcast, we talked about the meaning of Bushra’s name (yes, it has something to do with patriarchy) and how Bushra has time and again bucked the system.

Get ready for a mind-bending, perhaps somewhat crazy episode on mastering persuasion. There are 8 switches you can trigger at any time to be more persuasive than ever before. Our guest Bushra Azhar explains how on this episode of the Grow My Accounting Practice Podcast.

Meike lebt am Stadtrand von Wien, hat zwei Kinder, die mittlerweile erwachsen sind (19+21) und ihr auch beide in der Firma helfen. Ihre große Leidenschaft ist die Potenzial-Entfaltung und sie sucht sich immer wieder neue Möglichkeiten, wie sie ihren Horizont erweitern kann. Privat liest sie gerne, betreibt Yoga und geht gerne wandern.   Beruflich hilft sie Beratern, Trainerinnen und Coaches beim Erstellen und Umsetzen eines Online Business Konzeptes. Ihr besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt hierbei bei Online Kursen, Webinaren und Mitglieder Bereichen. Sie hat schon weit über 100 Online Kurse erstellt und ist auf Udemy, der größten Online Lernplattform weltweit, die erfolgreichste weibliche deutschsprachige Dozentin mit fast 50.000 TeilnehmerInnen und über 2.000 Bewertungen von durchschnittlich 4,5 von 5 Sternen. Doch das ist nur der externe Social Proof. Viel wichtiger sind ihre eigenen Plattformen, wie z.B. ihre Online Business University, in der sie Selbständige ein ganzes Jahr lang beim Aufbau ihres Online Geschäftes begleitet.    ***** Viel Spaß mit diesem interessanten Interview *****   Der Pitch von Meike ist:   Sie hilft Beratern, Trainerinnen und Coaches beim Erstellen und Umsetzen ihres Online Business Konzeptes mit Online Kursen, Webinaren und Mitglieder Plattformen, damit sie online sichtbar sind, als ExpertInnen wahrgenommen werden und somit mehr Kunden und bessere Umsätze erzielen können, um von ihrem Herzens-Business gut leben zu können.   Welche 3 praktischen Tipps hat Meike aus ihrer Praxis für dich?   Damit dein Business nach außen gut läuft, musst du zuerst tief nach innen gehen. Nur wenn du deine Vision, deine Sehnsüchte und Träume von einem erfüllten Leben bringen, kannst du diese auch in deinem Business nach außen strahlen – und deine strahlenden Augen sind das beste Marketing und viel mehr wert als Facebook Ads Dein Business ist die beste Möglichkeit, immer wieder Feedback zu erhalten, wie du noch besser von Wert für andere sein kannst. Nimm es an als eine Lektion in lebenslangem Lernen und lebenslanger Persönlichkeit-Entwicklung Sei dir bewusst über die Bilder in deinem Kopf in Bezug auf dein Leben und in Bezug auf dein Business. Wenn du im Kopf klare, magnetische Bilder malst, wird sich das materialisieren!     Welche Verbindung hat Meike zu Frau & Geld und womit und wie verdient sie ihr Geld?   Die Online Business University, ihr Ganzjahres-Gruppencoaching-Programm, wo sie UnternehmerInnen ein ganzes Jahr bei ihrem Online Business Aufbau begleitet. Denn die University bietet einen klaren roten Faden durch den Online Business Aufbau und zeigt, was man braucht und was nicht und auch wann. Die meisten Programme bieten nur kleine Puzzle-Teile wie z.B. Facebook Ads und zeigen nicht das große Bild. Außerdem dauern sie meist nur wenige Wochen und ein Online Business Aufbau dauert viel länger!     Was ist die Marketing Geheimwaffe von Meike und wie ist ihr Marketing aufgebaut?   Ihre Ethik und Ehrlichkeit: Sie verspricht nichts und hält viel. Bei ihr wirst du nie große Zahlen an den Kopf geknallt bekommen, denn ihren idealen Kunden ist ihre persönliche Freiheit viel wichtiger als Geld. Sie wollen von ihrem Herzens-Business gut leben können, sie wollen ihren Kunden gut helfen können und dazu eben auch genügend Kunden haben und sie wollen sich nicht den ganzen Tag den Kopf über Marketing zerbrechen, sondern einfach nur einen klaren Leitfaden haben, an dem sie sich orientieren.     Welchen Nutzen hat der Kunde, wenn er mit Meike zusammenarbeitet? Klarheit, Leichtigkeit, Begleitung, ihre volle Präsens, ethisch-moralische Korrektheit, no bullshit. Sie redet nur über Dinge, die sie selbst getan hat und auch versteht     Welchen Tipp hat Meike für dich, wenn du dein Einkommen deutlich erhöhen willst? Also in ihren Augen liegen die Chancen für uns Einzel-UnternehmerInnen ganz klar online! Und da bist du heute nicht nur Coach oder Trainer, sondern irgendwie ein Medien-Unternehmen. Ihr liegt es z.B. gar nicht sonderlich, sich ständig so zu zeigen auf Social Media und Co, aber seit sie es tut, hat sich ihr Business erst so richtig entwickelt. Es gehört also schon eine Online Präsenz dazu!       Was war der schlimmste Moment für Meike, ihr größter Fehler, bzw. Ihre größte Herausforderung als Unternehmerin?   Vieles – einer davon war: Sich online zu zeigen: Sie war schon lange sehr erfolgreich mit ihren Online Kursen und Webinaren und hat trotzdem immer nur ihren Bildschirm gezeigt. Alle Versuche sich auf Video zu zeigen, hat sie immer wieder eingestampft. Das war ein jahrelanger Kampf mit mir selbst. Heute siehst du Meike ständig auf Video. Zum Glück kann sie dieses Problem in sich nicht mehr finden!     Wie wichtig ist für Meike Geld und macht Geld sie glücklich? Geld ist dann enorm wichtig, wenn man keines hat! Sie war ganz lange tief in Schulden, als alleinerziehende Mutter und Unternehmerin hatte sie nie ein Budget und musste sich immer zu helfen wissen. Ganz oft wusste sie nicht, wie sie ihre Miete zahlen kann. In so einer Situation ist Geld extrem wichtig. Wenn du Angst hast, mit deinen Kindern unter der Brücke wohnen zu müssen, dann nimmt Geld einen großen Stellenraum ein. Doch wenn die laufenden Rechnungen bezahlt werden können und man sich auch einen kleinen Luxus, wie Reisen und Fortbildungen leisten kann, tritt Geld sehr schnell in den Hintergrund. Sie wollte noch nie „Trümmer“ ansammeln, im Gegenteil: Ausmisten ist äußerst wohltuend. Sie fühlt sich mit wenigen Dingen viel freier. Auch ihre idealen Kunden werden nicht durch Ferrari Bilder & Co angelockt, sondern wünschen sich einfach genügend Kunden und eine gewisse Freiheit und Leichtigkeit in Bezug auf Geld.   Verändert Geld den Charakter? Sie findet den Spruch „Geld verstärkt den Charakter“ viel wahrer       Wie trifft Meike ihre Entscheidungen?  Welche Entscheidungsfindungsstrategie hat sie? Wie geht sie an scheinbar unlösbare Aufgaben heran?   Wie gesagt, die inneren Bilder sind für unser Leben enorm wichtig. Oft hilft es, dies erst zuerst im Außen zu zeichnen, daher skizziert sie oft die Ist-Situation. Außerdem glaubt sie daran, dass unser Unbewusstes über alle Lösungen verfügt. Daher denkt sie oft einfach vor dem Schlafen gehen noch einmal intensiv, wie die Situation ausschaut und was sie gerne hätte und dann präsentiert sich die Lösung oft sehr schnell – it’s magic!     Wie bekommt Meike ihren „inneren Schweinehund“ in den Griff? Wie motivierst sie sich, wenn sie mal keine richtige Lust hat, etwas zu tun, was getan werden muss? Sie glaubt nicht an den inneren Schweinehund. Wenn man nicht motiviert ist, etwas zu tun, dann hat das entweder einfach keine Priorität in unserem Leben oder wir haben keine klare Vorstellung davon was zu tun ist – da helfen nun wieder die klaren inneren Bilder. Wenn du nicht vorankommst, nimm dir die Zeit, dich zu fragen, was da gerade los ist!     Wie hast Meike es geschafft, Ihre Leidenschaft zu finden   Ihre großen Leidenschaften sind das Lehren und die Potenzialentfaltung. Sie hat schon als Schülerin viel Nachhilfe gegeben und wollte immer verstehen, warum manche Kinder sich so schwertun – daraus wurde dann später auch ihr Lerncoaching-Institut. Auf der anderen Seite glaubt sie daran, dass jeder ständig über sich hinauswachsen kann, wenn er nur will. Diese Leidenschaften hat sie schon in vielen Formen gelebt und weitergegeben. Ein eigenes Business aufzubauen (und da ist heute der Online-Weg ein cleverer) ist eine Möglichkeit der Persönlichkeits-Entwicklung, die einen täglich lernen und täglich über sich hinauswachsen lässt. Von daher kann sie ihre große Leidenschaft hier jeden Tag voll leben.     Welche Werte sind für Meike wichtig?   Klarheit, Demut, Freiheit, Liebe, Dankbarkeit, Verbundenheit     Was hat Meike ursprünglich davon zurückgehalten, Unternehmer zu werden? Das muss man schon aktiv wollen, alle Strukturen in der Gesellschaft sind gegenläufig     Was bedeutet Erfolg für Meike? Zu wissen, was man im Leben erreichen will, das auch anzustreben und sich zu freuen, wenn man es erreicht     Was sind die drei Stärken von Meike? Klarheit, Empathie, Biss       Gibt es ein Lebensmotto, ein Lieblings-Zitat das Meike begleitet?  Live Your Full Potential!     Was war der beste Rat, den Meike bekommen hast? Hör nie auf zu lernen   Welche Internet-Ressource (z.B. einen besonderen Service, eine Open Source Software oder ähnliches) hat für Meike persönlich einen hohen Mehrwert?    Ein Kurs einer Dame aus dem Orient: Sie heisst Bushra Azhar: erfrischend anders!     Was ist die beste Buchempfehlung von Meike?   All time high: Stephen Covey: “7 Habits auf Highly Effective People”, Marketing: Donald Miller: “Building a Story Brand”     Welchen „letzten Tipp“ gibt dir Meike mit auf den Weg?    Jeder, der dir erzählt ein Online Business entsteht über Nacht verkauft dir einen Traum und keine Strategie. Doch wenn du dranbleibst und bereit bist mehr an dir selbst als an deinem Business zu arbeiten, dann ist das erfüllend und lohnend.     Wie und wo kann man Meike am besten erreichen?   Webseite von Meike: https://www.meikehohenwarter.com   Die Online Business University: https://www.meikehohenwarter.com/kurse/university/   Facebbok Meike: https://www.facebook.com/MeikeHohenwarterMSc/ Youtube Meike:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxULd9uKSiLc5ZwZ8NQ0YVg Podcast: https://www.meikehohenwarter.com/podcast Ihr eigenes Buch „Es ist dein Leben…vergeude es nicht!“ https://amzn.to/2NJIKNT   Einige Veröffentlichungen von ihr: PORT 41: https://www.port41.at/artikel/in-sieben-schritten-zum-ersten-online-kurs WOMEN 30plus: https://www.women30plus.at/work/selbstaendigkeit/dein-erster-online-kurs-5-gute-gruende-endlich-loszulegen/ Podcast Tom Oberbichler: https://mission-bestseller.com/online-business-aufbau-mit-system-folge-201/ Podcast Daniel Friesenecker: https://theangryteddy.com/tat0170-meike-hohenwarter-fuer-ein-nachhaltiges-online-business-musst-du-mit-geduld-und-spucke-dabei-sein/ Gewinn: https://www.gewinn.com/management-karriere/weiterbildung-karriere/artikel/online-kursplattformen/     Nachzulesen und Nachzuhören auch in meinem Blog: https://amatabayerl.de/207-starte-jetzt-dein-erfolgreiches-online-business-interview-mit-meike-hohenwarter Ich freue mich, wenn Du mir ein Feedback hier im Blog oder auf Facebook hinterlässt

That’s what Kira and I do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. Kira: You’re invited to join the club for episode 91, as we chat with copywriter and autoher of Mass Persuasion Method, Bushra Azhar, about her story; persuasion triggers and why you need to use them; and how she’s found success creating programs for entrepreneurs; what she wishes she had done differently; and her advice for copywriters who want to grow quickly. Kira:  Welcome, Bushra. Rob:  Hey, Bushra. Bushra:  Hey Kira; hey Rob! Thank you so much for having me; it is an utter honor. And yes, I just clapped my hands, so if you heard a blast in your ear, I am sorry! Rob:  I’m clapping too. Kira: Laughs. Let’s all clap! Bushra: So it doesn’t look awkward, so I don’t look like a two-year old. But, thank you so much for having me. It is an utter pleasure; I am very excited. Kira: No, we’re great. You’ve been at top of our list actually. We’ve wanted to have you on the podcast for a while. So glad you are finally here. And Bushra, a great place to start is just with your story, especially for anyone who has not heard of you before. How did you end up running your business, and copywriting, and persuasion? Bushra:  Oh, okay. So first off all, thank you so much. It’s a funny, funny note that I will tell, which I will think, it is probably... like I’m making a massive boo-boo in front of all the copywriters community, but I have to say this: you just introduced me, and you said “copywriter”, and the thing is, I don’t identify myself as a copywriter, because I have never taken any copywriter training. And, when I started my business, I wasn’t really sure which copywriting was which. So it the w-r-i-t-e, or is the r-i-g-h-t? Kira:  Laughs. Rob:  Laughs. Bushra:  And I said okay, which is which? I just knew that I’m good at using words to make a sales argument. That’s something that I’ve always done. That has always been my strength. But I never really thought there was a need for something like this,

If you're holding back your personality in business, you're losing money. Simple as. The key takeaways: One of the biggest benefits of running an online business is the fact that you don’t have to sit there, pretending to smile. You can always switch off the camera. Nobody can see you. You can be making all of those ugly faces, groaning inwardly at the stupidity of human nature, and whoever you’re dealing with won’t even know it. You can’t do that in real life because they can read it on your face. It’s kind of hard to fake enthusiasm, love and devotion when you are face-to-face with people, but you can totally do that on the Internet. You have to decide at the get-go whether you want to be a “hell, yes” for 50% of the people and “hell, no” for the other 50% or a “whatever” for 100%. Being a “whatever” in business is a kiss of death – you want people to sit up and take notice when you say something. When you hold back your personality in business, you actually lose money because you’re attracting wrong people. They might end up being on your list, but they will never buy from you. Or they might buy from you and then they will make your life hell. Or they may be ideal customers and buy from you, but then when something goes wrong and you show your true colours, they’ll be like, “who is this psycho?” The fact is you’ve always been a psycho, you’ve just been hiding it and they were mistaken. It’s a loss for everyone. When it comes to free ways of growing your list, hands down the best strategy is guest blogging. Nothing compares to it. Bushra’s first 2,000 subscribers came from a guest post, as did her first sale – that is the power of a well-placed, well-crafted guest post. Honestly, if you are looking to grown your audience from scratch, and you don’t know where to start, reach out to top industry blogs in your field and just beg them, bribe them, or just go sit at their doorstep to get them to let you guest blog. Even if they don’t give you a link back, that does not matter. If your guest post is good enough, people will look you up, they will find you, and they will come back for you. -------------------- Join me on Instagram here:  https://www.instagram.com/dairecharlotte/ Sign up for my weekly (ish) jolts of genius here: http://dairepaddy.com/ -------------------- For the full show notes, including all the links mentioned in this episode, go here >> http://dairepaddy.com/episode17 -------------------- If you enjoyed this episode I'd love it if you could: a) Share your favourite moment, takeaway, or place to listen in your Instagram Stories, tagging me (@dairecharlotte) b) Hop over to iTunes and leave me an honest review.

"We are in business, this isn't a hobby. We are in business to provide a good income for ourselves and our families, and to do that we have to get the balance right, between focusing on revenue generation and making sure we are following work that lights us up and pursuing our passions” Nicola Semple is this week's guest on the Happy Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast. Nicola has been a solo-entrepreneur now, for 5 years. Nicola helps women business owners to create calm from chaos, by teaching them the skills and giving them the tools required to focus on what matters in their business and their life. When I asked Nicola what three words sum up her entrepreneurial journey so far she said: Exhilarating. Winding (as in road!). Insightful. What you’ll learn by listening to this episode: How it can feel like every business idea we have, has already been done - but it is not a reason not to do it; There is no such thing as an original business idea, but what makes it unique is your own personality and your own spin on it!; We are never short of ideas, but what sets someone apart is their ability to implement a project all the way through to completion; How freedom to be your own boss is both a perk and a curse - stay focused on revenue generation; There is a fine line between giving away good quality content and a level of value for free, but at some point, you need to get something in return; The curse of comparisonitis. How moving out of that mindset, is essential in order to build a business that is right for you and your sanity; Don't get sucked in by the marketing messages out there of "you must invest in your business!" we don't need anywhere near the number of online courses we sign up to. If you are going to invest in things, make sure the format is right for you; Your network is everything. Having a supportive group of people around you, who you can call upon when you need it; How mindfulness has become a powerful resource for her as a business owner - being more focused, getting more done, and feeling less stressed about it; Perseverance is what keeps her going. Being in business is a long-term goal.

My guest today, on the Steve Jobs inspired Join Up Dots free podcast interview is lady who believe me we all need to spend time with. Whether it's to make more money in our lives, to convince our bosses that we should be working at home in our PJ's, or to get someone to climb out of their PJ's and Whey Hay!! then it's all about being persuasive. As she says " I have used the science of persuasion to get ludicrous discounts from suppliers over and over and over again. And I didn't even have to take my clothes off ;) Bag giant-ass contracts that everyone in the company had given up on, because I knew exactly which buttons to press. Influence people through written word…emails, blog posts, pitches or break-up letters…I did all and won most. I am also the office go-to person for softening down or toughening up the tone of critical emails, negotiate better timings, better rates and better treatment… often without a precedent. Now the interesting thing is when she decided to start an online business in April 2014, she told no one. "I didn't want to tarnish my reputation as a consultant, even my husband just knew I was starting a site, he didn't know what it was. I didn't even use my full name in the beginning, because I had a respectable Google presence." "I was intrigued by this idea of making money online. Consulting is trading dollars for hours — you get paid for what you work on. I'd always wanted to try something different and if I want to travel to visit family or take a vacation or travel back home, with an online business I can take my work with me." So in just three years, and with a site that was less than finished, she has hit the ground running, and now can teach us all how to make money online with none of the icky sales stuff that most of us get hung up by. So was three years about right to get her to where she is today, or does she look back and see many corners that she could have cut off in the timeline? And when did she feel comfortable enough to slam her name all over her work, sprinkle typos, and talk about "Toilet stuff" more than anyone I have interviewed before? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with with one and only Bushra Azhar Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Bushra Azhar such as: Why flattery is so important in business, as it makes both people want to be involved in working towards something that is mutually beneficial. Why Bushra never pitches unless she is invited to pitch to the other people. You have to be accepted into the persons life before ever attempting that for it to work like magic. Why being relate-able is such an amazingly powerful statement to make, which so many people online fail to understand. Be like the person that you are attracting and you are half way there already. and lastly…. Why it is so exciting to get your first online money no matter how much it is. And the best thing of all....those seeds you planted just keep on working. 

The power of persuasion is a vital skill every online entrepreneur needs to learn. It’s how you convince people that your services or expertise matches their particular need. It’s how you convert lookers into buyers. It’s how you establish the trust that enables you to build a relationship with your following. On this episode of the podcast, I had such a great time chatting with one of the most persuasive people I know, Bushra Azhar. She’s been able to build an incredible online business focused on teaching others the power of persuasion and how to apply it to their online businesses. The funny thing is, she started her business as a bet with herself. You can hear Bushra’s amazing story on this episode of She Means Business. She started an online business as a bet with herself. When Bushra Azhar first thought about starting an online business she wasn’t very convinced that it would work. The only way she knew of to earn money through the internet was by selling naked pictures of herself - which was NOT what she wanted to do. So she started inventorying the things she felt she could provide to people and realized that from a young age she’d been actively persuading people. It was not only an interest but something she felt she was truly good at. So she started pitching bloggers with a proposal that she write a guest post on their blogs - and many took her up on it. It’s those posts that attracted her first clients and she did it all before she even set up a website or refined what she’d offer as a service. It’s an unusual, hilarious story that worked out for her to the tune of millions, and you’ll get to hear it from Bushra herself on this episode. She started by guest blogging about the power of persuasion for online entrepreneurs. The only way Bushra Azhar could think of to get herself known was to borrow the audiences of people who had already built an online presence, so she started pitching bloggers that she could write guest posts for them about the art of persuasion. She got quite a few takers and started writing. Each site had it’s own particular focus and she crafted her guest posts to appeal to each site’s particular audience. She did it as a sort of experiment, to learn what niche areas of the business world had the greatest need for instruction in the power and art of persuasion. She got great insights as a result and her business started to gain traction. You’ll love hearing how she did it, so be sure you listen. Powerful persuasion starts with relatability. Since I had an expert on the power of persuasion as my guest on this episode of the podcast I thought I’d take the opportunity to ask her for some tips regarding how to be more persuasive. The first point she made was that persuasion begins with relatability. The person on the receiving end of your pitch has to feel that you are like them in some way, or at least that you were before you learned what you want to teach them. If they feel you are perfect and have it all together, they won’t believe that you can help them. But if you can show them how you are or were in the same situation they want to change in their own life, you’ve just connected with them on the level of relatability - and you’ve probably gained a customer or client. How believable are you to those you’re trying to sell to? We’ve all seen the infomercials where something about the presentation or the person making the pitch doesn’t feel trustworthy. You just can’t quite get yourself to believe that the thing that’s being sold really does all that is being claimed. That’s an issue of believability and Bushra Azhar says that it’s one of the key things you’ve got to be able to establish when you’re trying to sell a product or service. You have to come across as genuine, as trustworthy and believable to the people who need what you’re offering. If you don’t, you can forget about making the sale. It simply won’t happen.

Bushra consults with top companies like Pepsi, Unilever and Ernst & Young, as well as smaller firms to help executives persuade their bosses and to get companies to persuade their customers. And it all comes down to psychology. We’re get a PSYCH 400 level crash course today, so grab you’re your pen and paper! Some fun factoids about Bushra: She was the youngest Vice President of a bank at just 24 years old and was the only women "at the table." She began working in consulting when she moved to Saudi Arabia where they have very strict laws pertaining to women. She's not allowed to drive, open a bank account or leave the country without the permission of a guardian. Yet, she managed to build her business while working part-time and managing a family. How, exactly? You’ll have to listen to find out... For more information visit www.somoneypodcast.com. 

“I hereby solemnly declare never to freeze in fear, sit in utter despair, or move from foot to foot like a 3 year old on the verge of an “accident” when faced with an email, sales page or Facebook post. I refuse to smile needlessly, play nice hopelessly, give in uselessly…in the hopes that if they like me enough, they might open their wallets for me. I am a persuasion revolutionary and I use psychology of persuasion to win hearts, minds and wallets of my audience.” Thousands and thousands of people have taken this oath and are loyal "soldiers" in the Persuasion Revolution. Ready to meet the person who has somehow made the science and psychology "sexy, classy and fun"? Bushra Azhar is one of the world’s leading authorities in the science of persuasion or as she puts it: “...helping the frustrated, the lost and the uber confused; bulldoze their way through counter-arguments and objections effortlessly and gracefully (like a ballerina on roller-skates).” Bushra is outspoken, bold, funny, direct and super passionate. Now here’s the interesting part... ...she grew up as army brat in a culture that favored “pretty little boys” and definitely not bold, outspoken women. And since she certainly wasn't a "pretty little boy" she made a decision early on to overcome these shackles and in turn used this as motivation to carve her own path and discarding the labels and limitation that others put on her. Was it easy? Nope. Did she fail? Yep. Did that stop here? Nope! In fact, at one during our interview Bushra said something that led me to rethink what failure (or success) really mean: "I failed a lot. I just don't label it as a failure. For me it all boils down to the self-imposed labels that people tell themselves." Find out what she means and get the full story (and so much more) right here in my interview with Bushra in Episode #8 of Deconstructing Success. Some of the big things you’ll learn from Bushra in this "hilariously informative" interview are: Why she was living a “double-life” and how her husband reacted when he found out. How Bushra "themes her days" for maximum efficiency and uses personal “intention” challenges to reach her goals. The simple “BS detection system” Bushra deploys to suss out fakes online and in real life. How to convince your boss to give you a raise, get a customer to buy or get your kid to clean their room by leveraging persuasion principles. What the “8 Most Powerful Persuasion Switches" are and learn Bushra's step-by-step framework to use them in your business and personal life right away!
