"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"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.

Good idea, and one I've used before. 99% of yard sale stuff is crap, but there's always that 1%. Stay away from big, bulky items that would be hard to ship. It's sometimes profitable to visit thrift stores and church sales - many times they'll have name-brand clothes (Abercrombie, etc.) that can be purchased for a dollar or two and resold for much more. I found one church sale that had about 20 pairs of A&F cargo shorts & jeans for $1 each. I sold them on ebay for about $13-16... making a nice 1300%+ profit on each. Another idea is to be an eBay seller's assistant. Many mail places (ones that take your package and ship it via FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc) will allow you to put a banner in front of their store advertising your business. For example, a "LET US DO YOUR EBAYIN' FOR YOU! (555)555-1212" is particularly effective. Charge 30% and you're set.
As for buying in bulk and reselling for less, I'd be hesitant - I'm a member of Rio Audio's ebay powerseller's private auction site where you can purchase lots of mp3 players (such as a lot of 20 Rio Nitrus 1.5gb, etc) but I've found the profits don't usually justify all of the work you do.

There are places opening up now where you drop off anything you wanna sell and they sell it for you and keep 20% of the cut.
The reason why this is so popular is that buyers are weary of buying stuff with someone with no feedback. And if you already have positive feedback and lots of it you are more likely to get a larger price for an item and more likely to sell it in the first place.
Also a lot of people don't wanna bother making a whole e-bay account and going through validation processes and learning how it all works just to sell an old clock or something.
So you could offer a service where you sell for the best price possible any item people bring you, give them the money, and you keep 20%.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
In short: TOO MUCH BS TO DEAL WITH.
People want something for nothing.. Hell, they want you to give it to them for free.

Something that you are interested in and knowledgable about. Then put in some hard work, learn aout marketing, research suppliers and get best discounts etc, etc.
"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 mean, seriously if I think about the time when I was reading all those magazines about shares and reading stuff about it on the internet, that would have been more than dry I guess, but because I had my own money on the line it was interesting...and I think starting your own business, selling stuff online and figuring out how to make the biggest profits might indeed be pretty interesting..but the downside of it, is probably that working in a big company wouldnt be as interesting and youd definetly have to start in a company where youre not your own boss, so you can get enough money...and later on success with your own business is still not granted..
