"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I'm in the market for a new job. I'd like a job that is social and isn't 100% indoors sitting at a desk. Does anyone do work that they enjoy and make a decent living at?
 

"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.

Financial Representative. At a firm like MetLife, MassMutual....new york life...

I'm in that business, but I'd rather not name the company i work for. 100% commision-based. Most make 100k + after 4 years if they can survive the business. You work for the company, but set your own hours since your on commission. Not at the desk all day long b/c your out meeting clients.

This isn't for 'kiddies' though. I'm 22, and about as young as you'll get and actually get hired. It is sales though, so its not for everyoen.

Its all referral based. After I've sat down with a client for a long time, i say,

Jim, what have u thought about the process thus far ?

he says: i liked it, blah blah blah.

i say: well Jim, in order for me to continue to provide service to you in the future, i need to meet new, successful people like yourself to do business with.

then i either have a list of his neighbors i got through websites and ask him which people i should call, and i'll ask who works 'below him' and who would be good to call.

Then i branch from there.

Bartender at a popular bar. Be prepared to sacrifice some night for the big money though.

"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.

From what it sounds like, he's in the market for a career, not a job. This is a job.

If you can give a little more detail it may help you get more replies. Do you have a degree? Do you have any career interest or a field you'd like to work in?

I am thinking things like State Trooper, Wildlife Commission, Department of Transportation, Realestate, Outside Sales, Dispatcher, UPS/DSL/FEDEX, postman???

There are tons of areas to research. I do marketing and promotion. Most of my time is in the office (my home) planning an event, then some on-site work, with the public, promoting the product. Fun stuff and it allows me to be a wife first, and working women second! Best of both worlds!

Most states offer an employment website for state, county and city jobs. In Florida it is MyFlorida.com Check with your local Chamber of Commerce and maybe they can direct you to a few large scale advisory sites.

Good luck and congrats in the seach, it is good that you want to reap from a career more then just a paycheck. If you have to work everyday for nearly 50 years, make it something you love.

Jobs, careers and money.

I have all kinds of education. It's almost useless. Formal education either leads you into a job, or at the very best, you can be self employed. Dentists, lawyers etc. fall into this last catagory. If they don't go to work one day, they don't make any money. Owning your own business is better, since you can override your employees, and the business continues even if you aren't there all the time. But the best business to be in is as an investor. You make money while you sleep. You do little or nothing to make money.

Jobs are terrible. A Just Over Broke almost always assures financial failure. My sources say that almost all of the people who turned 65 this year (95%) failed financially. They don't have the money to retire with any dignity at all. They did all the right stuff, too.

Read a book: "Your First Year in Network Marketing" by Mark Yarnell. Read another book "How to Master the Art of Selling" by Tom Hopkins.

Sales is an art that can be mastered. If you couple MLM and direct marketing, you can build a team by teaching other people how to make money and get wealthy yourself.

If you had $100K coming in with no work to do for it, would you go look for a job? Would you go back to college to get your degree?

One last thing: public education taught you to read so that you could continue your education by reading for information. If you don't read, you might as well be illiterate.

Um, MLM isn't owning your own business. Its just a commission sales job.
