"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.

Tavii, why do Europeans use the . instead of the , for numbers in thousands.
What do you use for decimals then? comas?
 

"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'd be happy with 90k a year
I would get most things I want
Hell im not the type of guy who would want all the "luxirous" things in life
I just want something that would simply suit my needs :]
I would buy a mid class home and than just buy a nice car and thats it anything after that would probably be wasted on food and beer and im a pretty skinny guy :D

Why does your list only go up to 200k? It should START with 200k :) I'd say $5M/yr would keep me happy.

how about being happy now?

as far as the poll goes, i'm aiming to make my first million this year (by july 2007).

like someone else said, i'd rather have passive income. but for me it's really not about the money but about getting the things i want to buy with that money, and the feelings that will come with having those things. money itself is nothing special.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

It's not always about what your income is. Right now I have ZERO income. That's right. ZERO. And it's been that way for about a year and a half. But believe it or not, I live in a VERY nice townhouse in the best neighborhood in town, have a couple of nice cars, and travel often. When you learn how to play the game you will discover that there is a whole other dimension to money that most people never even get.

A-Unit also brought up an important point- the difference between earned income and passive income. This is what TRULY separates the rich from the poor.

Rich people have passive income. Money that comes in regardless of how much effort you put into it. This is really the ONLY goal you need to have when you set out to build wealth.

Most people are too busy chasing earned income to ever build themselves to the point where they have substantial passive income. I would rather have a piece of property or a piece of paper making me money while I sleep than have to physically put in 40+ hours per week to make twice as much.

The SWEETEST money I get is not the one from my job (which I dumped not so long ago), it's the one from rented stuff. I can ride my bike around town if I wish, read books and stuff (including financial stuff), you name it.
