7 Ways to Develop a
Magnetic Personality
1. Leave a Comment on Their
Blog (if they have one). This is
something that doesnt take long
and believe it or not it can make
somebodys day, especially if the
person is a fairly new blogger. Make
sure its a well articulated positive
comment instead of just saying its
a nice post.
2. Send them an Email. Ive
started to get at least one email a
week with somebody telling me
they appreciate my blog and have
found it really makes my day. Its
really great to hear that and I feel
compelled to do something nice for
those people because theyve made
me feel good.
3. Tell someone you appreciate
their friendship. I dont think we
express our gratitude for our friends
enough. Were so caught up in our
world of information overload, that
7. Participate in a High
Adrenaline Activity Together. A
few nights ago I was watching a
documentary called This Emotional
Life. In one part of the
documentary, there was a couples
therapist who was doing research in
what makes people bond. One of
the interesting things he discovered
was that those couples who tended
to participate in a an exciting
activity together tended to have
more affection towards each other.
To me, this isnt a particularly
brilliant insight. Its basic
conditioning at work. Do something
that makes you feel good and youll
connect it to the other person. That
is why I love the idea of somebody
catching their first wave when
theyre with me because I know that
their life will be changed forever,
and theyll link that up with me :).
All of this really is about being
sincere and genuine. If this is done
in such a way that it comes across
manipulative, then it wont work at
all.

I remember reading
once that you arent
BORN with a magnetic
personality (though
some are), but that you
can DEVELOP it. This
gave me great hope,
because Ive always
envied those people
who make you feel
great when they walk
into the room.
Youre right on about
giving people
compliments. A couple
years ago I made a
commitment to
compliment anyone
and everyone when I
liked something about
them. Now Ive gotten
so good at it that Ill
approach a complete
stranger and tell them
I think theyre pretty or
that I like their shoes,
etc.
I also make it a point
to let the people in my
life know what I love
about them. I love
how you are so good at
organizing etc.
One thing I hadnt
thought of doing is
asking myself power
questions. Thats a
terrific idea it makes
you think about whats
great about you, which
makes you feel good
and then you shine.
Love this!

Hi Melinda,
Thanks so much. As far
as Hollywood goes, I
live in Los Angeles so I
see what you are
talking about
firsthand. Magnetism
and charisma is a goal
that Ive been trying to
reach. Its only as Ive
gotten older that Ive
realized all of it
something that comes
from within us. Its
largely a mental
projection of what you
are thinking on the
inside.

Katie,
Thanks. Glad to have
you as a new reader
over at The Skool of
Life. I really wish that
they had given us that
book to read in high
school. My life would
have been very
different in my early
20s if they had. I think
Jaky also made a great
point above about just
being yourself. One
thing I read recently on
a forum that I belong
to is that when you
stop wanting anything
from anybody then you
become really
magnetic because
thats the truest of who
you are at the roots.

Thom,
Agreed. When people
follow through on what
they say they will do it
makes us see them in a
very good light. We all
have people who are
flaky in our lives, so its
always refreshing
when somebody is not.

acceptance. Its so
wonderful to be a part

discover whats truly
miraculous about
themselves!

Cailen,
Absolutely. I think that
when you make people
feel good about
themselves you are
basically investing
your time and your
thoughts into positive
energy and as a result
you start to give off
positive energy.
Sounds kind of new
agey, but I think
theres alot of truth to
it.

When i respond to
blogs like this, i
usually try to show
how wise i am in the
particular area and ask
questions if Im not.
But what you said was
profound. Sending
people emails of how
you apprentice there
work, does come in
handy.
it breaks the ice and if
its pure honesty, well
you have just made a
friend. This is the best
way to create
networking partners
and be more human at
the same time.
Because sometimes we
forget, even though we
are typing. We are
more the same than we
are different.

Yeah, email is
amazingly simple and
yet we forget how
powerful it can be. One
thing I read
somewhere that can
really take it up
another level is
sending a handwritten
thank you to
somebody. I think it
was Scott Stratten who
mentioned that.

development is all I
need.
My personality is some
kind of 75% introvert
& 25% extrovert.

A magnetic
personality?
Empathetic meaning
kind and considerate;
encouraging through
praise; comical;
interested in ALL
peoples not for the
quest of monetary
gainI am describing
my parents however,
these traits have not
worked well for myself
especially as I age. The
WW1 and 2
generations had a
much more wholesome
spiritual approach to
life than Baby Boomers
on down.
