Fatal Strategies

This is a universe of fatality, not psychology.

Or something like this blah blah.

baudrillard talks about how psych has had its time, time for something new
can link this to how he says when something is done, simulated, etc., it becomes more popular than ever

on my "fatal strategies" page on the website like Reshe's say how it is an alternative to psychology as a whole which includes
both the positive AND negative outlooks (so not just what Reshe is critiquing but her stuff also).

like nietzsche make clear that my writing isn't for everyone, it will crush the weaker ppl (christians sick, etc.)
- psychology deserves to be attacked because it has been so successful, like nietzsche says of enemies

can almost think about this as my "about" page, fatal strategies somewhat the main thing i'm about? since you need your work to be associated with a specific idea (baud + fatal strats)

information isn't enough
if information could change people, everybody would be skinny, rich, happy, etc.
reading, watching, and listening to more is not enough, you have to apply it

brief descrition when booking

• what do they think the problem is?
• what have they already tried?

FAQ to overcome objections

• the purpose of a faq is to provide reassurance ot potential buyers and overcome objections. your mission is to identify the main
  objections your buyers will have when considering your offer and carefully respond to them IN ADVANCE
• the point is not to be defensive (you want to avoid that) but rather to be proactive in responding to concerns
• selling anything is largely the process of identifying and eliminating barriers to purchase: risks, unkowns, and concerns that
  prevent your prospects from buying what you offer. your primary job as a salesperson is to identify and eliminate barriers standing
  in the way of completing the transaction
• your prospects know you're not perfect, so don't pretend to be. people actually get suspicious when something appears to be
  "too good to be true"
• by being up front with your prospects regarding drawbacks and tarde-offs, you'll enhance your trustworthiness and close more sales

coach based on the niche you create

• there is no "consulting school" or degree. you can start a new business as a consultant in about one day, if not sooner. follow
  these two basic rules

1. pick something specific as opposed to something general. don't be a "business consultant" or a "life coah" - get specific about
   what you can really do for someone.
2. no one values a $15/hour consultant, so do not underprice your service

make sure your solution is different and better

• is the market frustrated with the current solution? being different isn't enough; differentiation that makes you BETTER is what
  is required. there's no point in introducing something if the market is already satisfied with the solution - your solution must
  be different or better
• note that it doesn't need to be cheaper - competing on price is usually a losing proposition

because finding truth in social, political, or digital reality feels increasingly impossible this leads us to search for something
true or real in ourselves. that book that talked about the aids epidemic and how it would have been better not to talk about it, adapt
this to the idea of mental health/illness.

fatal strategies as opposed to psychology and therapy, etc.
"the opportunity to ask ourselves what would change if we took a different stance"
maybe my thing is about asking better questions not having more/better answers?

eliminate barriers to access

• selling anything is largely the process of identifying and eliminating barriers to purchase: risks, unknowns, and concerns that
  prevent your prospects from buying what you offer. your primary job as a salesperson is to identify and eliminate barriers standing
  in the way of completing the transaction

• to overcome these objections as quickly as possible, it makes sense to build them into the structure of your intiial offer. since
  these objections are very common, anything that you can do to alleviate them before the prospect considers the offer will make the
  sales process much easier

• by being up front with your prospects regarding drawbacks and trade-offs, you'll enhance your trustworthiness and close more sales

• Different solutions are generated by different questions.

  • This is the problem of philosophy - it cannot give answers. But it can help people to posit the right questions. The first step towards the right solutions are the right questions.
    Here philosophers are good in demystifying, in showing how the very way that we formulate the problem is already part of the problem. This is the task of philosophers today.
  • The question to be asked of these "theoretical" texts, then, is not "are they true" or "are they accurate" but rather, "what do they do?"

• It is an opportunity to ask ourselves what would change if we took a different stance.

• It is about better questions not better answers, and if we should even ask certain questions.

• By asking yourself good questions (or working with someone who asks good questions) you can grasp important insights or generate new ideas very quickly.

• What we need now are good questions not good answers. Questions are more valuable than answers. They become strategic because they allow us to think differently. Looking for answers leads to reductionism.

• The best questions are not questions that lead to answers. Answers are cheap and plentiful these days, questions are valuable. When answers are cheap, the unknown becomes valuable.

• a force of anarchy, purposelessness

• take people's rule sets and turn them against themselves.

• this is the ideal way to get to the core of people and the paradox of their ways. test people, force them to confront things about themselves.

"I despise the kind of book which tells you how to live, how to make yourself happy. Philosophers have no good news for you at this level. I believe the first duty of philosophy is making you understand what deep shit you are in". - Zizek
