Facebook has made a few big changes of late and on today’s show, we’re going to look at one of those changes, and that’s the reduction in the number of lines of primary text shown on Mobile News Feed ads.

Point is, your leads have always been important, but now, more than ever, you’ve got to get them right. But this isn’t bad news if you know what you’re doing. And on today’s show we look at what these changes mean, and how to adapt your ads so you still get plenty of clicks.

On today’s show, I talk about one of my Persuasion Players Doctrines and how by implementing this doctrine into your life makes you a better persuader. And it’ll make you a better human too. (Which has to be a good thing right?)

I brought this up in my facebook group the other day and I got plenty of positive feedback… one guy even said it was the best advice he ever got… so I go a bit deeper into this today, because it’s such a big lesson and has made a big impact on many who have heard it and took the advice on board.

Listen in and discover…

• It’s not easy, but if you practice this one thing each day you will get better at persuasion… and you’ll be a better human too

• A way of thinking that lets you see what’s really going on… gives you perfect 20/20 vision … you’ll never see through rose-coloured glasses again

• How to be more understanding with other people’s stuff-ups and idiosyncrasies … however, keep a look out for patterns of self-sabotage and if you spot them in others, do this one thing I recommend

• The ‘old guy on the train with two out of control kids’ story… and how it rams home a powerful lesson when dealing with others
