Secret #8 - Humble Yourself Before People Strategically


After showing himself to be brilliant, the most successful man to ever live lowered (humbled) himself on purpose so that people could relate and connect with him. As a result, he grew in favor and stature with people! In other words, his humility caused people to respect him even more.

Sub-Secret A: You FIRST have to show that there is something about you BEFORE you lower yourself. That way, people appreciate your humility as they see it as a choice and NOT a necessity. If people see your humility as a necessity, then you have opened up the door to being mistreated. If you are exhibiting much humility without getting much respect, then it is a sign that you have not shown that there is something noteworthy about you. Change it!

Sub-Secret B: AFTER you have shown people you have something about you (that you are operating at a high level), you have to lower yourself before people, otherwise you will find that too many people stay around you for what you have and not who you are. If you are struggling with loyalty and making more enemies than you should, it is a sign you people are already impressed with you (no need to continue to big yourself up) and now you need to just show your are like them (not that you were like them).
