"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"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.

I am currently in college and wondering what course of study i should pursue to advance myself in real estate. I have read all the books mentioned on this thread and a few more in top those. my parents are willign to pay for college and i feel i cant turn that down and my parents are also thrilled i plan on following your advice and heading into real estate afterwords. Actually, my dad has been stealing my books to read for himself. so if u guys can reply with your opinions, you would be a great help.

I assume that you want to learn about Real Estate investing, rather then learning how to be a real estate agent.

for such a situation, college doesn't really teach that much (if anything at all) about real estate investing, or investing at all, for that matter. The reason for this is simple-- college is designed to produce employees, not investors. In terms of learning, you're pretty much limited to books and anything else you can find for yourself.

Becoming an agent is easy. Just talk to a realty office and they will be able to point you in the right direction of getting your license. If you want to sell houses, this is the path you should take. however, if you just want to invest, I recommend skipping the license b/c it ultimately gives you nothing that you need to invest that you don't already have w/o it .

Well, college couldn't hurt though. I mean knowledge is knowledge, and combined with some experience, you should be really well off. You just do what you have to do to be successful, and if that means educating yourself, do it. You can never know too much.

OK then MetalFortress, if you already know everything about it, I don't see much point in you posting on here.... is that so others can tell you what a good boy you are for having such ambitions? Seriously. I guess you already know it all then, being a lot "porter" and all :rolleyes: You're used to acting like a know-it-all I presume, so go right ahead and go into the car salesmen job.... you'll be in good company. I haven't met a salesman yet who knows shi-t about cars, yet they all think they are so clever, haha.

That's because you're a little pissbag who likes to make assumptions about people. I bet you've met no more than 2 car salesman in your life, but you'll lie about it and say you've met more so go ahead. I already know I will make a good salesman. I just felt like posting my plans. So be a good little boy and chop your fingers off with a knife, please.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

On the topic of wealth building.....

-Before you make a million, you have to make $100,000. Before you make $100,000 you have to make $10,000.....all the way to making $1. You have to work your way up.

I think most people fail because their initial goal is too far in the clouds. It seems so unbelievable, you never get past the first step.

-Read great books, articles, stories and content EVERY week. Soak up information like a sponge. Expand your paradigm on a regular basis. Be methodical and build on what you know. Subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. Learn from masters. Find role models. Find people making more money than you are.

-Leverage what you've got (huge, HUGE topic).

-Develop core expertise.

-Set your priorities. Can't waste time on trivial stuff.

-Develop great habits.

-Measure what you're doing and improve upon it.

-Experience is worth more than theory. Get out there.

How to get rich--- get out of the stock market, sell all your real estate, and get all of your assets out of the dollar and into Gold!!!

Instead of money, seek peace of mind - the greatest wealth of all!!

In a nutshell, freedom = responsibility. This means hard work and self-reliance... The core principles America was founded upon.

If you really think about it, money or the quest to obtain money doesn't create freedom at all, it creates dependencies, which is the exact opposite of freedom.
 

"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.

A lot can be done in 4 years.
It's a social life, or potential financial freedom.
