Sep 9, 2017 | In The Loop

In The Loop with Andy Andrews, hosted by David Loy

In this episode, we answer a listener’s question on how to convince someone to change their behavior.

The concept of change is often misunderstood.

There are 2 elements required to get someone to change:
- They need to understand the effect change will have in their life.
- They need proof beyond a reasonable doubt that change will help them.

Society has 3 main misconceptions about change:
- It takes time to change.
- Someone has to want to change.
- Someone needs to hit rock bottom before they change.

The elements of change can be used in every area of your life.

Knowing the 2 elements of change can help you in everything from sales to relationships.

Tune in to hear specific examples of these elements in action.
