Three pillars of true influence

1. Clarity of Thought: You cannot influence others if you are confused yourself. You must have a deep, structured, and logical grasp of your own ideas before you share them.

2. Precision of Message: This is about communication efficiency. It’s the ability to articulate that clear thought without fluff, jargon, or confusion. It is saying exactly what needs to be said, and nothing more.

3. Understanding of Human Nature: This is the psychological/emotional element. It means knowing what drives people—their fears, desires, and biases—and speaking directly to that reality.

Influence is not about how much you broadcast; it is about how deeply you connect.
