One of the beliefs that I teach about influence is that “influence is automatic, either you are influencing or you are being influenced” regardless of the environment, the intention, the state of mind you are in, or your company.

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon in my hometown Porto Alegre (Brazil) and my mom,  my sister and I were relaxing in a coffeehouse, people watching, sipping  “cafezinho” (expresso) and having fun. We were talking about work, family, vision and one thing lead to another and the conversation ended up in a story that has influenced me deeply-and I want to share that with you.

Do you want to change something in your life?If you are like 99.99% of the people alive (I would say more like 100%), you have something in your life that you really want to change. Think about it. What is one thing in your personal or professional life that you want to change?

If you do not feel inspired today, let me give you some ideas: Would you like to change how you feel on a regular basis? Would you like to change your income? Would you like to change the way you look (gain or lose weight)? 
Would you like to change careers? Would you like to change your job? Would you like to change a specific behavior in your personal relationship? Would you like to change where you live? Would you like to change some of your relationships?
