Welcome to Daring Daily On Demand, your most trusted resource to help you become better

You have been told the best way to gain favor is to give favors, right?

Do one to others as you would have them do back to you, give before you take, deposit

before you withdraw, etc.

This morning, I'm going to turn all those axioms on their head.

The best way to win friends is to get them to do something for you.

The best way to turn haters into lovers is to obligate them.

Yeah, it's true.

But don't take it from me, take it from one of the most influential figures in the history

of the human race.

This guy was born one of 17 children to dirt poor parents, yet he became a scholar, a respected

scientist, an entrepreneur, a gentleman, and a man of significant political power.

Put it this way, this guy is so rock star, you'd spend 100 bucks just to buy a picture

of his face.

Who am I talking about?

Of course, I'm talking about my BF as in Benjamin Franklin.

of the United States of America?

It was his mad persuasion skills.
