"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I want to put 5K into a savings account. Which bank would you guys recommend? I live in Nyc. I currently have about 3K in a bank, its a savings bank but PAYS 0.025 percent interest.

Would citibank be good since it is 5 percent? I see igobanking.com has 5.3 percent but i am not really familiar with that name. Amtrust has 5.36 percent but it is a money market and I am not sure the difference between money market and savings.

I would like to put 5K in an account and would not mind not touching the money at all. Would that mean i should go for a CD rather than savings? Is the percent about the same?

Thanks.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Get a money market account from a mutual fund company with check writing privaledges. The rate of return is very respectable (CD like), its very safe (relatively speaking), and it won't lock your money up like a CD will. (not to be confused by money market accounts banks offer).

One of the best. But shop take into account the rules and your financial needs.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
