The FoxBusiness.com site was experiencing technical difficulties yesterday, so today I bring you my first Game Plan of the week. It was inspired by almost getting robbed at an ATM recently and is called Desperate Times, Not Desperate Measures. There’s also a little Anthony Robbins and Chazz Palminteri thrown in there.

I think staring that guy in the eye is what saved you. When you think you’re going to be robbed, instead of looking away, look the person in the eye until they avert their gaze. That establishes you as the alpha personality. Twice in my life, this actually worked for me, and whenever I pass a bunch of teenagers who look like they may be out for trouble, I use this tactic, and they always shrink (even though I’m scared, which I don’t show).
Subtle body language can have much more power than we realize.
Congrats on fast acting!
