"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I just recently finished reading this book and I have mixed feelings. I have always had a hard time making money and coming up with great ideas. The author makes entrepreneurship and money making seem effortless. I am very average and really have no special skills.

I know some people who got rich virtually overnight with little or no work and i know others who have spent years perfecting his/her craft. Are some people naturals at making money? Do you need to have special talents or a great idea to make millions? How much does luck play into making it rich?

Any others have any feedback on this book?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

it's easy to dream about making it big. of course your ideas work inside your own mind but what if your logic is flawed and you dump a ****load of investment into a bad prospect? i could write a book on how to become rich and i wouldn't even be lying after i sold a million copies :D

haha, that is exactly what i was thinking! I hope one day, i can experience the life of having money. I have educated myself and continue to do so, but being a part of the financial elite seems so hard to achieve.

How? Currently i am working on an ebook. I have yet to try ebay, but i don't have money to list a product and lose money if it doesn't sell. I am terrible at making money, so turning my mindset around has been difficult. Trust me though, i am trying hard!
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

your best bet is to go to school and work 40 hours like everyone else. If you come up with an idea during then, go for it but dont quit school.
