Default The power of writing by hand (as opposed to typing)

Glenn recently posted about writing by pen and paper (that is, writing by hand) before...

See his post...

Mark Twain Wrote All His Books With Paper & Pen

Gary Halbert famously asked his students to write out classic direct response ads by hand...

And he wrote all his ads initially with a pen and paper, too (not on the computer)!

A lot of more recent copywriters (even at least one well-known one) rubbish the idea... But there's evidence that Gary was right!

Handwriting helps with learning a new language... suggesting it may also help with "absorbing" the lessons of an ad...
Handwriting Is Better Than Typing When Learning a New Language, Study Finds
https://www.sciencealert.com/handwri...ad-study-finds

Handwriting helps kids learn more and remember better
Why writing by hand makes kids smarter
https://www.sciencedaily.com/release...1001113540.htm

It can even help with creativity!
How Handwriting Trains the Brain
https://archive.ph/YyQPR

"Other research highlights the hand's unique relationship with the brain when it comes to composing thoughts and ideas. Virginia Berninger, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says handwriting differs from typing because it requires executing sequential strokes to form a letter, whereas keyboarding involves selecting a whole letter by touching a key. ...

"And one recent study of hers demonstrated that in grades two, four and six, children wrote more words, faster, and expressed more ideas when writing essays by hand versus with a keyboard."


You might benefit even if your handwriting looks like chicken scratch marks in the dirt (like mine does)!

- Dien

P.S. I still mostly type though...

P.P.S. I recently tried an experiment where I wrote what I wanted "to do" each day by hand, as opposed to typing it up (I've done both in the past)... I found writing it up by hand to be more motivational - and I feel I ended up getting more done - compared to typing it up...

Default Try writing and DOODLING to get her...or create your own PictoGrigms

I, too, do most of my creative THINKING, by writing out and doodling. Then I keyboard it.

One thing I use is sort of an outline type, where I may have numbers or A,B,C...areas on the paper, or even boxes...and then doodle, in and around this.

Often, words will appear within the doodle, or scribble, never trying to make the doodle BE something, like no thinking about it, just letting the crayon run across the page, while at the same time*

*which may or may not be important

Fill in the text boxes, or get the ABC, or 123 down on paper

I reckon, without science to back me up here, that I engage both sides of the brain this way, whereas typing doesn't let me capture in SOME form, those random, often pesky, but sometimes illuminating invader thoughts.

But try different things to find what works for you.

Thanks Dien for sharing this.

Also, it is the reason I don't allow people to create their SQ1 from a form or fill in the blanks, when written out by hand, THEN the SQ1 reveals its personal messages.

Default Thanks Gordon for sharing your method!

Thanks Gordon for sharing your method!

I love the doodling idea!

I agree that you probably access other deep recesses of your mind by handwriting and doodling...

We (as humans) have been handwriting and doodling for thousands of years, but we've only been typing for maybe 100 years, so it probably accesses some ancient parts of your brain!

Also, thanks, I hadn't made the connection to the Square One Workshops... It makes a lot of sense!

Thanks again... More doodling for me in the future! (Which is fun, too!)

Default Why I've rejected all offers on the SQ1.

Just over a decade ago, I got a very lucrative offer for the SQ1, but, after talking it over, and thinking about it...I declined the offer.

I have no doubt it would make a very good course, and could be very lucrative if it were SOLD, and at a high price, maybe get the respect it deserves.

Alas, like almost all FREE things, (as it was a gift TO me, it must remain a gift FROM me), when people don't pay, they tend not to use it, apply it, or respect it.

See Cialdini; Committment and Consistency.

And over the last two decades, I have seen here and around the Internet, most people don't know how to ask the right questions, about anything really.

The right question, asked to the RIGHT person, is a powerful force...as you and I have experienced with Harvey Brody for example.

And the SQ1, being unable to ask, has all the answers you need. I've yet to have anyone from the thousands exposed to it, challenge the premise put forth. There is the part of RESPONSIBILITY which trips up many a well intentioned soul.

I don't know of anyone, who has done all 12 Master PictoGrigms in their own handwriting.

And it makes all the difference in the world, because what makes the SQ1 so different from the ONE SIZE FITS ALL worlds of Tony Robbins et al, is the SQ1 becomes a ONE OF A KIND tool, custom created by and for the person doing it.

That is where the connection is made, normally in the $$$$ arena, when they build that bridge from here to there over the chasm of despair and destitution.

It CLICKS. It makes sense. The fog is lifted, and they can then proceed with deeper understanding and at remarkable speed too.

The SQ1 only asks you to answer two simple questions: What do you want? And WHY?

Gordon doodling my way to NFT fame and fortune??

Default SuperNatural Effects of Writing a Page of Ideas FOR a Friend/Client

Thanks Dien/Gordon,

When You Sit Down with Pen and Paper.

Write a list of Money Making Ideas for A specific Person. Someone You Know. Talk to. A Friend - A Prospect - A Client.

***Something MAGICAL Happens.***

One Mentor - Calls This "Prayer or Focusd Thought."

2nd Mentor - Got A Call and was Hired to do a Kids TV show. Wrote his INTENTION Down. Repeated it all night instead of sleeping. The Producer PHONED HIM in The Morning 8 am.

Anyway.

FIRST TIME this Happened to me.

I was Thinking of ways to Help ED - Make More Money in his Real Estate Business. 3/4 down the page.

THE PHONE RANG. - It Was ED.

This Is Pretty Interesting.

I Like to Write Down Specific Ideas - In PEN - Which ADAPT
Ideas For a Person - BEFORE I call them.

IF They Know You.

Often - The Phone will RING and They say something like, "I was Thinking About You. Thought I'd Call."

RECENTLY.

This has Happened 8 Different Times with a Neighbor.

I Visit Local Restaurants With Him.

Ted Likes to Come Along Because he Gets Free Pizza, All Kinds of Extra food. And Service from 3 or 4 Different Waiters and Waitresses And The Manager or Owner.

UNPREDICTABLE - Because We Are Testing out
Ideas Our "Billionaire Watching Club" finds all 27 Mentors Doing to TAKE our Money.

And While I Am Planning WHICH Billion Dollar Idea to Test (With a Waiter or Waitress) THAT Night. The phone Rings and It's TED.

Darndest Thing.

8 Times in NO ACCIDENT.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - WEIRD - But ...

Two Nights Ago.

I Was Testing The NEW - "LUV-BOMB-SCREAM" Strategy. (Done For Patrons who Pay 100Grand To Join a SECRET CLUB. Casino, Hotels, Restaurant, Health club, Night Club - on and on.)

I call it the "LUV-BOMB-SCREAM" Becuz Waitresses at the Club LITERALLY SCREAM.

Slapped it The "LUV-BOMB-SCREAM" SYSTEM down on The Fast Food Counter.

Got a Skinny Employee Involved.

THEN The Manager.

I wanted JUST the Chicken. No bun. No lettuce. Nothing. (ALMOST impossible - not in the Computer System.)

They each - Separately Brought me a Chicken Sandwich. So I Got One For Free.
Good Thing I eat Fast.

The 1st one was dry from sitting under the HEAT LAMP.

GONE Quickly.

By the Time The 2nd Was Cooked (From Scratch From Frozen Patty) and Brought out to me by the Manager. I had eaten The 1st one.

Default How I Got a FREE BOOK from An *Eccentric Person*

Thanks Gordon,

Didn't want you to Think my Mind To Mind Story was Worthless.

Stumbled across a website by a "Eccentric Person" - Who was Kidnapped by Aliens. Zoomed thru and out of our Solar System.

Visited the Client Planet and Came back.

WROTE a BOOK.

Instead of Paying 29.95 for his book.

I told him the Story of how I Discovered I can Communicate Mind to Mind.

I GOT A FREE BOOK.

Thanks,
Glenn

P.S. - This Gives Me Special STATUS!

How many of your Readers have Spoken to an Alien Kidnap Victim? And convinced them WITH A STORY - to Send a Free Book.

Default Getting the "vibes" out there...

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for sharing this!

It reminds me of something I learned from one of my mentors...

That is, to write a "no-send" letter... That's a letter you write to someone, which you have no intention of sending...

It could be someone you want to collaborate with, or do a deal with, or make a sale to, or anything else...

Because you're not going to send the letter, you can be fully frank, without worrying about what their reaction might be...

What's the benefit of doing this?

- I was told, it gets the "vibes" out there... (That's the "mystical" part!)

- it can also help you to clarify your own thoughts...

Best wishes,

Dien

Default A *No-Send* Letter has another Benefit Dien - Glenn

Thanks Dien,

I write Long letters. Full of Criticism and Suggestions.

Then DELETE them.

Or

Change a Page of Criticism to a couple Sentences of Compliments.

WASTED WORDS.

Nobody In The History of The World is Going to CHANGE on Our SAY - SO.

The 400 Million Book Sold author, James Patterson, does the same thing with Stephen King - Who Curses Like a sailor at Patterson.

Thinks his ***Outlines sent to 20 Different Writers - book Method*** Which has produced 246 #1 NYTimes Best Seller Books - is SATANIC. And wishes Patterson sent to Hades.

Patterson tells interviewers "Stephen King is a Wonderful fella.."

He Smiles. Then Says, "My Praise Drives him Nuts."

Thanks,

Default James Patterson's revenge!

Thanks Glenn!

I read that often when James Patterson is invited to give a speech, he enjoys opening with...
"Hi, I'm Stephen King"
Given how Stephen King has accused him of being "a terrible writer," I think it's James's cheeky way of getting revenge!

Best wishes,

Dien
