There are 10 easy ways you can make yourself “special”. And of course, make people like you.

Ever since I started my business years and years ago, I’ve come to realize that no one succeeds alone. Our lives have meshed in our relationship with others.

As a matter of fact, we need the support of other people to succeed in our endeavors.

For instance, in a work setting, if you are the leader of a team, you need your team members to understand you. In fact, they need to carry out your instructions so the team can succeed.

Similarly, in business, you need people to buy your product or service. In other words, it’s when customers purchase your product or use your service consistently that you can say you are in business.

To begin with, customers buy from a business they like, trust and whose products or service meet their needs.

In all honesty, our dealing with people is based on the LIKE quotient. Actually, the LIKE quotient is a measure of how people relate to other people. Speaking about the LIKE quotient, there are certain questions that shed light on it.

Well, these questions include but are not limited to:

a) Is he a good person?

b) Can he be trusted?

c) Does he get along well with people?

d) Does he fit well in a group?

e) Is he emotionally stable?

Now, if there is a relationship devoid of monetary consideration, grows as a result of mutual respect, and adds value to each party then, we call it genuine relationship.

The beautiful thing about it is this; it’s patient and pulls you up the ladder of success.

How To Make People Like You

The things I have learned about making people like you and building genuine friendships are surprising. Anyway, before I reveal to you the 10 rules you need to follow so you can make yourself “special”, I want you to do me this favor.

Put it into practice and you would have succeeded in making yourself a people’s magnet.

Let’s begin.

1. Give Spiritual support To People

People have spiritual needs and it isn’t always religious. For example, peoples spiritual needs may include but not limited to:

a. The need to love and be loved.

b. The feeling of hope and assurance,

c. Being able to find meaning and purpose in life.

Consequently, support people in meeting their spiritual needs, and they are bound to like you.

2. Find A relaxed Disposition To People’s Problems

For one thing, if you want people to like you then you need to learn to listen to their fears and concerns.

For this reason, you should learn not to get irritated by their stories. On the other hand, do not be offended if they do not want to open up to you.

3. Learn and Practice Forgiveness

In the first place, it is the strong that forgives. When people hurt you or you have a misunderstanding with them, learn to empty it in the trash of history.

When people discover you possess the power to let go of a wrong done to you, they fall in love with you.

4. See The Good In Others

In reality, when you learn to see the good in others and dwell on their good side instead of their weakness, they tend to fall in love with you.

In essence, never dwell on a person’s weakness instead dwell on their strengths.

5. Learn To Spell a Person’s Name Correctly

I take a special interest in a person who can spell my name correctly after our first meeting. So, spell a person’s name correctly after a first meeting and you have a place in their heart.

6. Share in People’s Joy and in Their Moments Of Sorrow

In the first place, people tend to like those who acknowledge and congratulate them on their achievements. By the same token, showing sympathy in their moments of sorrow makes them also like you.

7. Remember People’s Names

One way to show people that you have a genuine interest in them is to remember their full names. Consequently, if you can pronounce their full names correctly then, you have succeeded in making yourself “Special” in their hearts.

8. Remove the Perfectionist Garment

For the purpose of ranking high in the LIKE quotient, never show people that things must be done your way always.

9. Say Pleasant Things About People

If you desire to be a people’s magnet then learn to shift attention to other people. Afterward, say pleasant things about them.

What I mean is this: be generous in complimenting people.

10. Do Not Be A Burden To Be With

If you want people to like you then, do not show them that you want something from them.

In Conclusion

Finally, People will like you if you follow these 10 rules that enhance your LIKE quotient. But this is not all, its unique value lies in the fact that people will be around you.

They’ll want to be with you always. You’ll live a happy life afterward.
