1. Influence as many people as possible a little bit.
The meta strategy of influencing as many people as possible is to become like your target audience. The more you make clear that you are one of them, the faster and easier it will become to influence them. You disguish yourself to hijack the existing brain patterns so they’ll act in your benefit. For instance, if you want to sell pizza, you make sure that you are recognized as a pizza joint and you direct an already existing desire to eat pizza towards your pizzas. But what people overlook is that this is a matter of them influencing you rather than you infleuncing them!
2. Influence fewer people but achieve a much bigger change!
When you want to achieve a big change you have to change existing brain patterns! These patterns have formed either by associative learning (Pavlov) or instrumental learning (Skinner). At the same time you have to take into account how evolution have formed brain types. Brain types structure people’s emotions, motivation and cognition. So in order to achieve big changes you need to be able to (1) take into account people’s brain type, (2) break old associations and create new ones and (3) break old behavioral patterns and create new ones.
