HOW TO COMMAND, INFLUENCE AND CONTROL PEOPLE

The Styles and Methods of Power
Power is the ability to get things done - your way.  Sometimes
it's a direct order that you give, sometimes a suggestion you
make, or a request or the asking of a favor; but the result (if
you have power) is always that the other person acts and you
derive a benefit from the other person's actions.

Once can have power in many different ways.  You have it over
your employees because you pay their salaries.  If you are an
expert in a special field, it's because you know the best way to
handle matters.  In a legal dispute it's because you have the
law on your side.  If you have credit cards, it can be part of
your lifestyle to go into a store, hotel, or restaurant, in any
city, and order whatever you wish.  In politics it's because
folks will give you their votes, hoping that you'll work and
succeed in getting the government to serve them in their area. 
And there's the power that derives from being talented, charming
and capable; of being up-to-the minute and knowledgeable, so
people know if they let you handle things for them or listen to
your advice, they'll come out ahead.

One more aspect of power.  This concerns competition.  If all
the world were fair and equal, one would have no need for the
upper hand, for the advantage, for power.  But of course the
world isn't.  Which often means that in a competitive situation
you cannot merely settle for an equal chance.  You must keep
your eyes and ears, and indeed all you faculties, open for any
clue or other tips that will move the balance in your favor. 
Whenever possible, make sure you get more than an equal chance.

You Have to Look the Part

People are impressed by how a man looks.  They are often not
aware of exactly why they treat one man like a VIP and another
gets the bum's rush.  Their reactions may be subliminal, below
their conscious awareness.  But take it from me, if you're well
dressed, neatly groomed, hair trimmed, etc., and are driving a
snazzy car, you'll be well received; while a guy who's wearing
sloppy clothes, unshaven and unclean, and who's driving an old
heap, will hardly get any attention at all.  Look as good as you
can;  and back it up in other ways.

Add the other elements of the power image too.  Clothing - it's
worth investing some money to be well dressed. Buy suits on time
payments if you can (a credit card is very useful for this). 
That way the clothes are helping to get power, and therefore
money, for you while you are paying for them.   Don't forget
about the car you drive around in;  if the one you have is not
impressive then rent one that is.  Rental cars don't cost that
much and driving a good one pays dividends in the power sphere. 
Try to join clubs and organization (business, social, political)
that have important and influential members.  If at first you
can't become a member, then manoeuvre a member into taking you
as his guest.

Money and power beget money and power, the more they thing you
have, the more you'll get.
