Small Habits + Keystone Habits = Big Results! 10 Power Habits That Take 5 Minutes Per Day & Guarantee Rapid Results Mar 5, 2015

by Akash Karia

( 25 )

$3.49

Harness the Chain Reaction of Habits to Make Positive Change in Your Life

Have you ever noticed how, generally, in life, one thing leads to another?

You head to the pub determined to have only one drink, but end up staying for three or four and some fried fatty food to top it all off.

Wouldn’t it be great to harness this “chain reaction” to serve your life instead?

To be able to get healthier?

To get more productive?

To get happier?

To be more successful?

The good news is that habits often cause chain reactions.

Creating a good habit is just as easy as creating one that is destructive.

The amazing thing is that you can change your life, become healthier, happier, and develop good habits in less than five minutes a day by harnessing the power of keystone habits!

Discover the 10 Keystone Habits that Guarantee Results

I was first introduced to the concept of keystone habits in Charles Duhigg’s breakthrough book, The Power of Habit.

In their simplest form, keystone habits are those habits that automatically lead to changes in other behaviors.

They have a chain effect in your life and help create multiple positive new habits – without you even having to try!

The amazing thing is that by consciously developing these keystone habits, people can change their lives with minimal effort.

After reading hundreds of research studies and experimenting with the habits in my own life, I wrote this book. In it, I share the ten keystone habits that are guaranteed (and I don’t use that term lightly) to transform your life.

How to Go a Step Further With Small Habits

I quickly realized that it’s not enough to know about the keystone habits.

To create lasting change, you need to implement these habits.

The way you do this is through "small habits" (Credits to BJ Fogg and Stephen Guise for introducing me to the concept).

Small habits are those habits that are easy to create, take very little time, and make bigger habits easier to adopt.

They are habits that are so small, they make it almost impossible to fail.

Having implemented small habits in my own life and having read all the research on the topic, I realized that creating small habits was the best way to make lasting change in your life.

Small Habits + Keystone Habits = Big Results

The book is the result of my intensive research and experimentation.

By combining the ten keystone habits I discovered, along with the power of small habits, you will see massive results in your life.

This book is for anyone who wants to take control of their habits and create powerful new ones. It will help you:

•Become more productive.

• Improve your relationships.

• Take control of your finances.

• Live a happier, healthier life.

• Achieve more success.

• Adopt powerful, life-changing habits.

Magnetic Public Speaking: The Blueprint for Delivering Powerfully Persuasive Presentations! Jun 26, 2014

by Akash Karia

( 19 )

$2.99

THE SECRET TO MAGNETIC SPEAKING

What’s the “secret” to becoming a magnetic speaker?

What techniques do world-class speakers use to keep their audiences on the edge of their seats?

What tools can you use to give powerful presentations that win people over to your way of thinking?

I’ve spent the last five years of my life answering these questions.

As an introvert, I used to be envious of speakers who were able to keep their audiences electrified.

I used to think that these speakers were naturally gifted communicators; that they had won the genetic lottery when it came to persuasive speaking skills.

However, being a personal development junkie, I began interviewing these great speakers.

I studied hundreds of books on public speaking, watched countless videos of great speakers and invested thousands of dollars on public speaking seminars and coaching programs.

What I learned was that public speaking is a skill, and like any skill it can be developed if you have access to the right techniques.

OVER THIRTY TOOLS TO HELP YOU MASTER THE ART OF PUBLIC SPEAKING

After reading the book and learning to use the tools, you’ll be able to:

• Captivate your audience and arouse their curiosity within the first thirty seconds.

• Break down your audience’s persuasion resistance using a story.

• Use the advanced storytelling formula that will have your audience hanging onto your every word.

• Craft a catch phrase that is remembered and repeated.

• Build internal credibility into your stories.

• Make your talk concrete using metaphors and analogies.

• Transform any story into a mental movie for your audience.

• Use rich, powerful words that invoke emotions in your listeners.

• Create irresistible stories by understanding the keys to great storytelling.

• Frame your message so that it applies to every audience member’s unique situation.

• Prime your audience to pay attention using the foreshadowing technique.

• Become a dynamic speaker by mastering critical delivery techniques.

• Get your audience laughing while learning by utilizing the three humor tools you’ll discover inside.

• Avoid the mistakes that most speakers make without even realizing.

•Inspire and motivate your audience with your words.

• Understand when to use a “you-focus” and when to use a “we-focus” (because it does make a big difference!).

• Experiment with rhetorical devices to add beauty and power to your words.

• End your talk powerfully and persuasively.

WHO THIS BOOK IS PERFECT FOR

• Professionals looking to brush up their presentation skills.

• Entrepreneurs who want to learn how to persuasively pitch their ideas.

• Toastmasters who want to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking.

• Newbie and veteran speakers looking to create their keynote speeches and workshops.

• Salespeople who need to sell from the stage.
