I thank them for their opinion, then say something like \u201cI know you think this strategy won\u2019t work, so <i>how<\/i> can we make this happen instead? What\u2019s another way we can approach it?\u201d (And by the way, this works when you tell yourself \u201cNo,\u201d too.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>\u201cHow\u201d is the magic word, and your life literally depends on it.<\/b> It\u2019s the absolute best way I know to get past whatever roadblock is in your way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, I met an awesome cancer survivor a while back. He\u2019d been to a bunch of doctors in the U.S., and nobody was able to cure him. They told him there was no way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What do you think he did instead of accepting their \u201cNo\u201d? That\u2019s right \u2014 he asked, \u201cHow?\u201d After doing some research, he found a different treatment in Germany, and he made his way there. It worked!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, time will tell if it\u2019s a permanent solution, but when I last talked to him, he was cancer free. I\u2019m sure you can imagine what would\u2019ve happened if he\u2019d given into his American doctors\u2019 opinions!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5581\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5581\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5581\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/4\/files\/2018\/05\/how-instead-of-now-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/how-instead-of-now-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/how-instead-of-now-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/how-instead-of-now-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.harveker.com\/blog\/files\/2018\/05\/how-instead-of-now.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5581\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>\u201cHow\u201d\u00a0\u2014 instead of &#8220;No&#8221;\u00a0\u2014 is the magic word, and your life literally depends on it.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Exercise: How To Answer \u201cHow\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best way I know to answer \u201cHow\u201d is something my friend Brian Tracy, a great speaker and trainer, taught me.
