Summary

People hear the word "manipulation" and think it’s bad, but that’s not always true. The real meaning is just influencing or controlling something—and it’s been used on you in ways that actually helped you. In this episode, I explain why manipulation can be a good thing and how you can use it in a positive way to help yourself and others. Let’s get into it. Show Notes: [03:07]#1 Any action done intentionally or unintentionally to alter another person's behavior is a form of manipulation.  [08:27]#2 Living or behaving in a way that's not aiming to alter other people's thoughts, words, or actions should not be called honesty. [17:02]#3 The best leaders, influencers, and salespeople are masters of ethical manipulation.  [20:09]Recap Next Steps: Text Dre Baldwin: Text Dre at 1.305.384.6894 (or go to http://www.DreAllDay.com/Text) Work On Your Game University: http://www.WorkOnYourGameUniversity.com  Sponsor: AG1 by Athletic Greens: http://drinkAG1.com/WORKONYOURGAME  Get Dre’s Emails FREE:  Http://WorkOnMyGame.com  Free Audiobooks:  The Third Day: http://www.ThirdDayBook.com/audible The Mirror Of Motivation: http://www.MirrorOfMotivation.com/audible Get The Free Books: The Third Day: http://ThirdDayBook.com  The Mirror Of Motivation: http://MirrorOfMotivation.com The Overseas Basketball Blueprint: http://BallOverseas.com  Basketball: How To Play As Well As You Practice: http://HoopHandbook.com/Free  Donate:  CashApp: http://Cash.app/$DreBaldwin  PayPal: http://PayPal.me/DreAllDay  Be sure to Subscribe to have each new episode sent directly to you daily!
