Never ask a woman out via text.

I know, I kinda threw that one out there.

But this isn’t even a rule—it’s a commandment.

Call me old fashioned.

Maybe I am.

Or maybe I’m somebody who actually understands women.

Guys, I coach women. I’ve been doing it for over 14 years.

And the number one thing women can’t stand is when a guy asks her out via text.

Here are three reasons why:

1. You look like a passive wimp. You heard me correctly. When you meet a woman, and text her instead of calling her to ask her out on a date, in her mind, she’s assuming that you think she’s going to say no.

You don’t own it, and to her, you appear like an unconfident guy.

2. Texts don’t always go through. Sometimes, texts just get lost in the textosphere or wherever they may go. It’s not 100% reliable. A voicemail message is always going to go through. When she picks up the phone, it will always go through.

3. She may be busy and forget your text. She may be in the middle of a meeting, she may be working, and your text gets lost on her phone. She may be busy doing other things and then totally forget about the text. And then, she’ll look at her phone in the next day or two and realize that she never answered that text.

And then she feels bad, and she thinks that you’re going to think that she’s rude. So she doesn’t text back. And that’s it for you.

. . .

So consider those three reasons before you decide to shoot off that text message to the girl you just met.

Texting is great in some situations. (Like sexting!) But it’s still just a tool; just one method of communication.

You have to remember that you have other, more powerful tools in your toolbox.

Like your voice.

Don’t underestimate the power of your voice. Women want to hear your voice. They want to talk to you. They want to hear the words, “Hey, I’m going to this fun concert on the weekend. You should come along and keep me company…”

They want to hear it.

Texting is an art. It’s all about intrigue. But once you’ve got her intrigued—get on the damn phone!

And close the deal.

Close the deal with your voice, and you can use your other tools to close the deal later.

You hear me?

Remember when we were little kids, we used to always say “I’ll be your best friend if…”? I was thinking about that the other day and how funny that is. I used to say that all the time to people.

“Hey look, man, if you come over to John’s house today—because I don’t want to play with him alone—I’ll be your best friend.”

Or “Hey, if you pick me up from school later on, I’ll be your best friend.” I was thinking about all those deals I made, and, I’ve got a lot of best friends!

So here’s the deal I’m going to make with all of you: I’ve got a brand new book coming out called Naked. It’s incredible. It teaches you how to be nude—alright, maybe not nude, but it teaches you how to get past all of your fears, get rid of all your negative thinking, and really, really reformulate your belief systems.

In all my years of coaching people, what I’ve realized the most is that if you don’t believe you can do it, then you’ll never do it. It doesn’t matter what you study. It doesn’t matter what you learn. It doesn’t matter what approaches you make. If you really don’t believe in yourself, if you really don’t believe that you have the gift, that you’re an amazing person and somebody that’s worth dating, then you’re dating all wrong.

So I’ll be your best friend if you go and purchase my book. Because here’s the deal: I don’t ask any of you for much. As you know, I post on this blog every single day, FREE, whether you buy products or not. I post videos up on Youtube for FREE, whether you buy products or not. I enjoy that. I enjoy giving away videos and giving away things and podcasts, so all of you have a much better dating life.

But this time I’m going to ask something of you. I want my book to become the number one best seller on Amazon. The only way to do that is if you get everybody, including yourself, to buy it. It’s $10 on Amazon. That’s all. And if you do buy the book, Naked, you know what that means? It means that I’m going to be your best friend. That’s what it means.

The book is phenomenal. It really is 15 years of my coaching put into one book. It really is everything that I had gone through in my own personal life and how I got emotionally naked and was able to acquire the friends and the relationships that I desire.

So, purchase the book. And, in order for us to be BFLs—that’s best friends for life—I want you to leave a review on Amazon when you’re done reading it. Then, when anybody asks you, “Hey, who’s your best friend?,” you can respond with, “David Wygant: he’s my best friend because I bought his book, Naked.”

We were walking around London last night and I was telling the guys that the best way to meet women at night is to think about what is waiting outside the bar.

Most guys can not wait to get into a bar or club. I prefer to be on the outside where there is no competition.

The best place to meet women is on line. No, not online on match.com or on Yahoo! Personals . . . but rather while you’re waiting on a line.

We spend so much of our lives waiting on a line. We’re waiting for coffee. We’re waiting at the bank. We’re waiting at the grocery store. We’re always waiting on a line . . . sometimes for one minute and sometimes for two hours.

Do you talk to people while you’re waiting on a line? If the answer is no, then read on because what I’m about to tell you is one of the best time management tools you will ever learn.

As a matter of fact, Microsoft Outlook was thinking of adding this tool to their software for Blackberries. Alright maybe not . . . but you get my point. I looked at the line waiting to get in, and I asked my students:

DW: “What do you notice about what people are doing in that line . . .
besides looking pissed off that they have to wait?”

S1: “No one is talking to each other.”

DW: “Exactly! No one is talking to each other while waiting on line to get
into a bar or nightclub . . . waiting to get into a loud, crowded, place
so they can potentially scream in each other’s ears.”

The best conversations you’re going to have are when you’re waiting on line to get into the bar. They will be far better than any you’ll have while you’re inside the bar.

Bar Lines

To prove my point, we got on line there and we proceeded to have a conversation with the group in front of us and the group behind us. When it was time to enter the club, the doorman asked me how many we were, and I said that we were seven but that we wanted to wait on line for awhile before going inside.

As each group behind us got to where we were at the front of of the line, we met a whole new group of people. By the time we left that line about twenty minutes later, we’d met and spoken with about forty people! In light of this, let me ask you a few questions:

• How many of you speak to forty people when you’re IN a nightclub?
• How many of you get phone numbers when you’re IN the nightclub?
• How many of you get people to text you as soon as they leave a nightclub to see where you’re hanging out and what line is cool right now?

These are just some of the things that happened to my students and I when we were waiting on line at a trendy London nightclub.

Since you’re able to speak about the obvious while you’re waiting on line, how silly is it to wait to get inside a loud club before you start talking to people? Whatever your approach is, when you speak to someone while your on line you can always state it with humor. You can always say something like:

“Aren’t we getting too old to hang out on line to get into a crowded nightclub?
This is the best conversation we’re going to have all night. If we met in there,
I’d have to scream in your ear.”

It doesn’t matter what you say. It’s stating the obvious.

I also told my students that if you like someone you meet on line, just close them with this:

Man: “Let’s exchange numbers. If the loud music gets on your nerves,
text me and I’ll let you know where we’re at.”

What you’re doing here is playing the odds. Most women when they go to a nightclub think they’re going to have fun. After about an hour in the nightclub, however, most of them tend to get annoyed. So after about an hour and a half, what you do is text her.

You: “Are you ready to continue our conversation? I enjoyed
speaking with you on line about [fill in the topic you were
discussing].”

That’s it! Short . To the point. All my students did this, and it worked.

It’s called being different. It’s called seizing the moment.

In addition, when you send this text at this time, you’re most likely going to be texting her when she’s at her breaking point. She’ll remember what a great conversation she had with you while hanging out on line. She’ll already have fended off a slew of drunken horny men who had no rap. So what you’re doing is rescuing her from another 90 minutes of thump-thump music and drunken horny men.

It’s all about being different and taking chances. So the next time when someone asks you if you’ve tried online dating, you’re answer is going to be: “Not on the Internet . . . but on line at a club.”

This weekend, go hang out outside a bar . . . and don’t go inside. You’ll have far less competition and have far better conversations than you would have if you went in the place. Oh and by the way, you don’t need a cheesy picture for this form of “on line” dating.

This “on line” dating also goes for all the “on lines” in you life. This is not just for bars . . . this goes for any line on which you find yourself waiting. Welcome to David Wygant’s world of “on line” dating! Welcome to the www of your life.

I work with so many people who suffer from this syndrome. When I tell them how to do things, they say thing like “This won’t work where I live (or in the town I’m in)” or “This won’t work at my Starbucks” or “This won’t work for me at the gym.”

So ask yourself whether you suffer from “this won’t work for me syndrome.” It’s so funny. I’ve coached people from all over the world — from London to Sweden, to Italy to Vancouver to Michigan — and what I teach works everywhere.

I love when I hear from somebody who writes me and says something like, “Dear David, I live in London. Your principals might work on Americans, but they won’t work on the Brits.” Really? I spend two or three weeks a year in London, and I seem to have a huge social network over there. So it must work over there, because I don’t do anything different than I do here.

I don’t go to London and say, “Now I’m going to put on my London persona.” I don’t book a flight to Detroit tomorrow, and say that I’m going to be a Detroit person when I get there.

“This won’t work for me” is another lame excuse. No matter what reasons follow that statement — whether it’s that you don’t look like me, talk like me or live where I live — they are bull.

What I teach works everywhere and for everyone. Everything I talk about in my Men’s Mastery Series and Become A Master Communicator programs work everywhere and for everyone.

Maybe when you travel to Columbia, they won’t fully understand your sense of humor unless you have a translator or they speak English, but spent two weeks in Columbia and what I teach worked for me there. I have been to the Philippines, and it worked for me there.

So why does it work everywhere for me, but yet I get emails daily from people telling me that it won’t work in the city where they live? My favorite type of email is when someone writes me and says, “I dare you to come here and see if it works.”

Pay for my ticket and pay for my time, and I will prove it. If you think it won’t work for you in your city, pay me for my ticket and my time and if it doesn’t, then I will pay you your money back. I guarantee in the first hour of being together that I will show you not only that it does work in your town, but I will do something so different and outrageous that you’ll think I have performed magic (and yet all I will have done is communicate).

Communication is the key to life. That is what it is. Life is all about communication. Communication works everywhere.

How come little babies can cry and everyone understands what they want? They want to either be held, changed, fed, or rocked. You can figure that stuff out, but you can’t figure out that when a woman in Starbucks winces that maybe she burned herself on a hot cup of coffee. Come on, get out of your head! This will work for you.

The excuses are pathetic. They are lame. I don’t buy into the excuses anymore, nor do I have compassion for them anymore.

I used to have the same excuses you do. I’ve been doing this a long time, and if you suffer from “this won’t work for me syndrome,” my answer to you is BULL.

That’s a great quote. I love that quote. I’m going to agree with it . . . 100%.

Forget about all the experts — especially in dating and finance. I mean, come on.

Look how great Americans are in finance. Look at all the great things they’ve done to themselves.

Look at the number of people who have borrowed against their house thinking that the real estate market was going to go up 100% every year. Look at the situation those people are in right now. Look at all the people who kept their money in the stock market during the .com heyday, thinking their stocks would go up 200% every year.

Yes, people don’t need financial help at all. People – the majority of people – clearly need a lot of financial help. Something like 95% of people who win the lottery are broke within six years.

People need financial help! A friend of mine bought a house in 2005. In Los Angeles, houses went up in value 132% in five years. He thought that houses would continue to go up and up because there is no more land in Los Angeles. Now he’s lost $300,000.

So according to that quote, people don’t need financial help? It’s “just plain common sense?” Really? I love that quote.

As for dating, sure I’ll agree that it too is “just plain common sense.” In this case I’m actually not being sarcastic.

The problem is that people don’t trust themselves when it comes to dating. They’re afraid to approach. They’re afraid to say what’s on their mind.

When they’re on a date, they’re afraid to challenge somebody because they are looking for validation and approval. They want to be liked. They want to be loved.

Don’t get me wrong. I love people who figure things out on their own. I love people who are financially secure or are great at dating all on their own.

The problem is that most of those people think that everyone else should be just like them. It was so easy for them, and they have no compassion for others who are screwing up in those areas and aren’t mastering them on their own.

Let me tell you, the 80/20 rule is true, and 80% of the world is screwing up. They don’t get it. They don’t understand. 80% of the world can’t balance their own checkbook, make a budget or walk across the room to approach someone of the opposite sex.

So when people say something like the quote I put at the beginning of the blog, I say to them, “You have no compassion.” If you need help in one part of your life, you should go and get it!

If you need financial help, there are financial people from whom you can get help. If you need help with dating, there are people like myself who can help you.

Really, a lot of what I teach is to get people to trust their instincts. I teach people how to trust themselves, love themselves and how to be more self-aware.

Shame on you to the person who gave me the quote that started this blog, for thinking that nobody needs to be taught these things. Shame on you.

There are so many people out there who are lonely, angry, upset, and broke. So many lonely people who can’t date, who can’t make the right relationship choices, but according to the person who gave me that quote they should just figure it out on their own. It’s all instincts and common sense.

The problem is that these people’s instincts and common sense haven’t gotten them anywhere. So why pass judgment about these people, and about their decisions to seek help. Passing judgment on people is the reason we’re in such a mess in this country.

I love that I teach people how to date, how to meet people and how to love themselves. It’s an honor for me to do that. I have compassion for it and I enjoy it.

So come on folks. Stop judging others who are having trouble with some part of their life, and start supporting them.

I can imagine what happens when the woman who gave me the quote at the beginning of the blog has a friend come to her for advice. She probably just says to her friend, “Just use your common sense.” I can also imagine how badly and how uncomfortable that friend must feel after hearing that.

What this woman should say to a friend like that is, “You know, I might have gotten that part of my life in order, but I can totally understand where you are at and how you feel. Let’s find you some help and the right people to talk to about this, so you can make this part of your life amazing.”

Let’s start supporting each other and stop judging each other.

So here’s the deal today.

I have an amazing video for you to see which is a LIVE in-field video I recently shot at Whole Foods.

Check out how Will makes the perfect approach, but then . . . Well, you will need to watch the video to see what happens to him.

One last thing . . .

There is only one thing that should be on anyone’s mind today: The Saints or The Colts. So let’s all predict the final score. The person who correctly guesses the final score first, gets an hour of free coaching with me!

That’s right, be the first to correctly predict the final score of the Super Bowl, and you will win a free hour of coaching with me.

It’s that easy!

Now, enjoy the video:

Would you like to be like Will and have me break down your approaches? This is something I do for all the guys who are members of my Community Site. While all the slots on my Community Site are currently filled, there will be some new slots opening up soon. CLICK HERE to get on the VIP Waiting List and to be the first to be alerted when these new slots open up.

So not only can I predict the outcome of your dates, I can predict the outcome of football games for you too. Regarding your dates, I predict that most of them probably won’t go really well. That’s not to be negative, but the majority of dates don’t go well.

The Jets are the only team not to allow an offensive touchdown this year. That impresses me. Do you know who impresses me more? Rex Ryan, the Jets’ coach.

So much of life is all about coaching — in football, basketball, baseball . . . and even in dating. Without the right mentor, coach and system in place, you’re never going to get good at anything.

Life is really all about having good systems — good belief systems and good coaching systems. There’s a reason why Bill Belichick makes the Patriots competitive no matter which players they lose. It’s the system he’s put in place. Every player believes in him and believes in being a Patriot.

Life is also all about your mindset. Yesterday I saw a good friend of mine, Dr. Wayne Dyer, speak. I really enjoyed it. Here’s a man who has lived 69 years with the right mindset and belief systems, and he’s accomplished everything in his life that he’s ever wanted.

Without the right mindset, coaching and guidance, people will remain lost. How many of you resist change? How many of you have trouble changing because of your belief system? How many of you fear change, but yet you desire it so much?

Who coaches you through your hard times? To whom do you go for advice?

How honest are you with yourself about the changes that need to be made in your life? Are you someone who repeats the same mistakes over and over again, yet you can’t figure out how to change that pattern?

It’s all about coaching. It’s all about implementing a belief system that can work for you, and a belief system that will still get you to make changes on a daily basis even if things don’t always work out for you.

The reason why the Jets won yesterday, was because they made changes to their game plan at halftime. They came out in the second half, and Mark Sanchez began throwing the ball. They got the lead, and then basically proceeded to shut the Patriots down for the rest of the second half.

How did they do this? They made changes necessary to dictate the flow of the game in their favor.

Can you dictate the flow of your life in your favor? Can you do it even after frustrating things and setbacks happen to you? Can you recover quickly from rejection, or do you allow it to torture you all day long?

When something doesn’t go my way, I recover instantly. I shake it off as any good well-coached person will do.

I don’t allow things to affect me for any longer than they need to affect me. Whatever happens to me affects me in the moment, then I get over it and don’t remember even five minutes later why I was so shaken.

The systems I’m talking about are not some kind of magic system to pick up men or women. It’s about having a belief system. It’s about having the right belief system.

What is your belief system? What changes do you need to make in order to accomplish everything you want?

Wayne said is really well yesterday. He said that we should all spend the last five minutes of each day before we go to sleep imagining how we want the next day to be, imagining how we want our life to be, and imagining how that will feel.

You don’t want to spend the end of your days thinking about what didn’t get done, what you messed up and what you haven’t achieved. By thinking this way, a lot of you are programming yourself to be in a constant state of panic (that begins from the moment you wake up).

So today on this Monday, I challenge all of you to write down all the things you want to change, and how you will feel when you implement those changes.

For those of you who are looking to bet on tonight’s game — because you know I am a master handicapper — the game will be a lot closer than you think. The Colts, however, will squeeze out a win when the Dolphins forget to throw to Ted Ginn.

The biggest problem with the monkey chatter is that there are more than just monkeys up there – it’s like a whole zoo! There are apes, gorillas, lions and tigers – there’s a whole brawl going on in your head.

In my twenties, I used to tell people, “You don’t want to be inside my head – it’s like a really bad neighborhood. You don’t when you’re going to get mugged, when you’ll get your ass kicked….” We all have that.

If you’re considering walking over to her but you’re thinking, “Man, she looks like she doesn’t want to be bothered, she won’t be interested,” then you’re giving your power away again to her.

You should never give your power away to another person. You have to start thinking about the small wins in life.

What do your friends think of you? What does your mom think of you? What does your sister think of you? What about people that you work with? You have a lot of people who think that you are pretty damn cool.

You have to start really embracing the fact that all of these people think that you’re a really great person, because you are.

If you have monkey chatter before you go and talk to a woman, it’s because you’ve put her in a fantasy box. Before you approach her, you’ve totally made her a fantasy. You don’t even know her! She could have breath that smells like my dog’s ass! She could be the meanest person in the entire world.

So turn off the monkey chatter, just smile, and relax! One of the best ways to get rid of the monkey chatter is to spend an entire day just walking around and saying hello to everyone.

Keep a scorecard. It’s almost retarded, but it works. Be enthusiastic about it: “Hey, how are you?” Take a book and write down how many people respond favorably. By the end of the day, you’re going to be in the hall of fame!

Think about it: three out of the ten times you go up to bat and you get a hit, you’ll be in the hall of fame. If you complete 60 percent of your passes in the NFL, you’re Payton Manning.

But so many guys are disappointed if they don’t get 100 percent. I meet so many guys who come to take a bootcamp with me, or come from coaching, or even just products – and they want a 100 percent success rate.

But you should see me – I’ll get blown off today, and I don’t even care! It doesn’t even bother me. I don’t care if she doesn’t think I’m interesting.

So you have to build up your confidence, very slowly. By building up your confidence, you can talk to people and actually see how they respond to you very favorably. You’ll find that a lot of people will respond favorably to you every day.

This is one way to work on the monkey chatter. To be honest, there is no instant cure to get rid of it entirely and immediately. The best way to minimize it is to go out there and have successful interactions all day long.

The more successful your interactions are, the more confident you’re going to become as you progress throughout your day. It took me a long time to realize that.

As men, we always seem to be keeping score. The mentality of men (and the stupidity of men) means that we’re always telling each other, “Man, I had such great sex last night, it was the best. You should have seen this girl that I picked up….”

Why are we telling our friends that? To impress them and to validate ourselves. Who should you be impressing in bed? The woman that you’re with. You should be able to talk to her the next day and say, “Oh man, I fucked you so good last night.” Then when she responds, “Yes you did!” there is all the validation you need!

You don’t need validation from other men.

So to help make everything crystal clear, here are 10 truths behind my HUGE announcement:

1.I will be coaching Bootcamps through December 31, 2009. After that, my coaches will run my Bootcamps starting January 1, 2010.

2.My coaches are fantastic! My Bootcamps will still be the best in the world, and I will be overseeing all of them.

3.Some of you thought the website and the blog were going somewhere. Not true! Just because I won’t be coaching Bootcamps in 2010 doesn’t mean I still won’t be sitting here all day long creating great blogs, product and content for you.

4.I’m not retiring and moving to Florida to play shuffleboard and lawn bowling all day long. I am just going to be concentrating on getting my message to the masses. By not working weekends in 2010, I will be able to work on exciting new ideas that I haven’t had time to develop including three new products that have never been released in the marketplace (which I’ll more about with you later in 2009).

5.For those of you who thought I was announcing that I was getting married, let me be clear that I am not getting married. If and when I do, and as with all things in my personal life, you will be the last to know . That’s why it’s called a personal life.

6.For those of you who think Daphne will also not be coaching Bootcamps in 2010, you’re wrong. Coach Khiem and Coach Kimberly can’t do Bootcamps without her. Daphne won’t be retiring until 2012, and she still has three years remaining on a very lucrative contract. That is, unless the coaching union finds out she is taking anabolic steroids . . . although I don’t think the coaching union has yet ruled that steroid use is illegal at Bootcamps. Plus if you’ve ever seen Daphne’s activity level, the only substance that could even possibly be running through her veins is Valium.

7.I still love what I do every single day. I enjoy every single Bootcamp I coach. When I told you in the video yesterday that slots for my remaining Bootcamps would be very limited, I meant it. Some of you have emailed me asking if it is really true that the spots are going to be limited. The answer is yes – it’s 100% true. I want each and every one of my final Bootcamps to be a once in a lifetime experience for each person who takes one. So if you want to see exactly how many slots are available, next week I will be posting my final Bootcamp schedule through June 2009.

8.Even though I will not be coaching Bootcamps beginning in 2010, I will still be available to do phone and email coaching. I am not disappearing off the face of the planet, that it unless I move to New Mexico and my body gets abducted by aliens.

9.There will be a very special coaching week this summer during which eight lucky people will have a chance to live in a house and be coached by me for a week. If this is something in which you would be interested, I’d suggest you get on my newsletter list ASAP.

10.Starting in 2010, weekends are made for Michelob (and for those of you who know me, the taste of beer repulses me). So I want all of you to come up with a slogan for me . . . come up with what I should do with my weekends beginning in 2010. Keep in mind that my drug-induced days are long past, I’m not a big drinker and Daphne is lazy.

I truly appreciate all of the comments I’ve been getting – it’s great to be missed before you even gone. I feel like Brett Favre. Wouldn’t it be great if a tv station interviewed me when I’m in my Bootcamp uniform of jeans and a t-shirt and I was covered with mud because we’d just come from hiking . . . then three months later we found out that Daphne traded me to the New York Jets? Now THAT truly would make me cry!

So for those of you who have been confused about my announcement yesterday, look at today’s video.

The point of life is realizing every single day that life itself is actually a miracle.

To get really Zen in your thinking, you need to accept everything that comes into your life and learn from the lessons you are presented with. You need to embrace those lessons and move forward.

It’s important to realize that when you receive coaching of any kind – whether it is a dating bootcamp or coaching on a physical sport – you have to practice.

Think about yoga. Yoga is practice, right? Why is yoga called practice? Because you’ll never be good at it unless you practice. And there is always room for improvement; there is always something new to learn.

I’ve been doing yoga for three years, and while I’m much better now than I was when I started, I’m still not as good as I’m going to be. Even when I get to the point where I’m really good, I’m still going to have to improve and get somewhere else.

That’s what life is about: a constant evolution, trying to get somewhere. And more important than this evolution is your acceptance of it. The more you accept, the more you will evolve. This is where that Zen-like feeling comes in, which we all want to feel, right?

So if you are able to have total acceptance of everything that goes on in your life, you’ll be able to enjoy the gift. You will be able to enjoy what is happening each and every day. You’ll be able to extract the value of whatever is going on in your life.

Coaching is just the start – the tip of the iceberg. My interns could tell you, whenever I go out; I’m constantly being coached. I’m constantly talking to people, I’m always learning, and I’m constantly writing things down.

I’m always communicating with my girlfriend and learning ways to be a better man. I’m constantly investing in myself.

I’ve referred to this before, and the movie Defending Your Life goes into this: the worst thing in the world is to be cheap with yourself. If you’re cheap with yourself, then you will die cheating yourself.

So even though some people decide to make that initial investment in themselves and take a bootcamp, they still have to continue to make that personal investment and continue to learn.

I’m investing something in myself every single day. When I threw my back out, I invested in my healing – a lot of money! Was it a waste of money? No way. I learned how to heal my body, and I learned to listen better to how my body communicates with me.

This is your one body, and your one chance. I don’t know about you, but I want to get it right. I don’t know what your religious beliefs are, but I believe that your soul passes on to a better place, and I think that if you haven’t learned all of your lessons then your soul comes back as another tortured individual. That’s my belief system.

So I really want to get all of my lessons in this lifetime. I want to make this life as fulfilling as possible. Whenever I pass, I want to make sure that I really embraced the ride. That’s really all you can do for yourself.

It really is about investing in yourself every single day. It’s very powerful, and it’s fun!
