"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.

ok it is a bit of a read but here's the story blokes...

I am a 22yr old baker who has just been approached a month back about working for these two guys who are in the process of building a bakery/ cafe/ bar/ restaurant/ coffee roastery all in one in a giant warehouse in the CBD of my city. I am all on board and cannot wait of course I jumped at the chance to develop and MANAGE a new bakehouse from scratch.

Now my question for all you older and hopefully business orientated gentlemen is how to go about stepping up to this challenge. Being so young I have never had the opportunity to manage a business well in this case a department of a whole company. I will be training an apprentice under me, coinciding with the chef and other staff to develop new items and the workings of the business along with dealing suppliers and advertisers. The two owners are very connected especially so to get a top chef and coffee roaster from sydney. also they have many friends in the publicity business including radio, newspaper and tourism of many I will have to have meetings and dealings with and of course socializing with them too.

I have come to this site to not only better myself with the ladies but to really create myself as a man so to say because I am really a conserved quiet guy pretty much 1 step up from an AFC. I have read the book of pook and gained so much from it also working my way through the DJ bible right after i finish How to win friends and influence people. and in this week since i started my transformation into the man I want to become I have come very far in such a short time. All I'm asking of you guys is a bit of guidance and recommendations of some good reads and general advice on business relationships and creating good rapports with them as I am not much of a conversationalist and it is all a bit daunting going from just a **** pusher in a little bakery to running one with others money at stake.
 

"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.

I was thinking of doing the same. Public speaking is a good skill to have, a great speech can make a girl's panties drip.

Sounds like you're on the right track. "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is always my recommendation, it's all about dealing with people, and your outlook on all types of relationships. My brother recommended it to me, it changed his life.

Learn how to manage people effectively and don't fall into "doing everything myself" syndrome. Go for it and good luck!
 

"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.
