"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 must read for every DJ.

Just reading this book will cut %95 of bullsh!t from your lives, lies that we diligently pump into ourselves, and strengthen our will in the path to our success whatever it is we are busy with.

A lot of insights are there but one key message from the book is to "love the plateau". I won't pull a BackBreaker here and spoil the story for you in a thousand words; so go and discover it yourself.

Edit: If you are interested but you don't want to buy the book yet, I can send a .pdf copy of the book - PM me your email address.

I couldn't reply to all of you (because of 3-min PM rule)

but thanks all of you for your interest (there were quite a few interested!)

I am glad we share the same interests. I hope you'll like it.

If more of you want it, just drop me a PM with an email.

Cheers,

What a weird coincidence... I just cracked that book open last night before bed! Looks like a winner.

Weird.

But maybe not. After all; it's a coincidence that we are here in this forum, too.

In any case, I liked the fact that you also are reading it.
 

"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.
