What Risks Do You Take?
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009Be Confident
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009I just got off the phone with a client and I had to share this with all of you.
I could not wait till tomorrows blog……I think all of you will enjoy this!
There is no reason in life to take things personally.
If you truly respect yourself – if you really think that you’re a great person – then if someone else doesn’t like you, you won’t take it personally.
It just means that you might have some stuff to work on. You have some stuff to do.
Life is just like a mirror – we attract exactly who we are so we can learn the lessons we’re ready to learn.
So if you’re getting blown off on a regular basis and you’re feeling really bummed and obsessing over it, there is a lesson there that you haven’t yet embraced. You haven’t looked deep enough into it. (more…)
Monkey Chatter
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009Let’s talk a little bit about the monkey chatter – that internal voice that says, “Who is this guy? Why is he bothering me?” That is a constant theme here.
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.

Eliminate the BS
Sunday, January 18th, 2009With the NFL playoffs on today I felt that this would be a perfect story to share with you today.
I read this a few months ago and just reread it today.
Enjoy and before you read it one last thought.
Eagles and the steelers!
I want to tell you about the story of Brian Boyle.
Brian Boyle was a zombie. In 2004, a truck smashed into his jet black 1994 Chevy Camaro, a month after he graduated from high school. From the article: “the collision forced his heart to the right side of his chest, collapsed his lungs, and splintered his ribs, collarbone and pelvis.”
“He lost 60% of his blood and was given 36 blood transfusions. He lost over 100 lbs on his presumed deathbed and died eight times just on the operating table. Just over three years later he completed the 2007 Ford Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii.”
What did he say about this? He “used all of the negative things that were thrown at [him] after the accident as ammunition for [his] arsenal. When [he] crossed the finish line, [he] wasn’t Brian the sick boy anymore. [He] wasn’t the skeleton in the wheelchair – [he] was Brian the Ironman.”
He woke up from a two-month coma, and then “embarked on three years of intensive rehab, which included relearning how to blink and walk. He had only six months to train specifically for the Ironman, but most of his preparation, he said, had taken place in the hospital.”
He says: “My mentality was similar whether I was undergoing endless physical therapy sessions after the coma or pushing my body to reach the finish line at Kona. If it was learning how to blink my eyelid again or pounding through one more mile during the run, it was about the small goals. Pain was now something that I could conquer.”
So what’s next for him?
He wants to go back and do another Ironman.
What’s next for you?
You have no physical handicaps. You have only mental handicaps. You are allowing a weak mind – and your fears and insecurities – to dominate your life. You’re not willing to communicate with people because you’re not willing to push yourself the extra distance.
Some of you can’t push yourself, and some of you just WON’T. You know who I’m talking about here!
But read this story of Brian Boyle. Brian Boyle died eight times. You just have trouble flirting with the opposite sex. Which do you think is more challenging? Whose life do you think is harder? Whose comeback is harder?
Push yourself to be the best that you can possibly be, and stop with the fear and excuses.
Your brain is powerful. Your mind is powerful. You really need to start looking at it as the powerful entity that it is. You can create anything you want.
. Read this again and learn about him, and then tell me if you don’t feel inspired to get out from behind the computer and start talking to people!
Mental Pressure
Sunday, November 9th, 2008Stop with the pressure!
The other day I was hanging out with this woman and we were talking about my business.
She knows exactly what I do – teaching guys how to really become master communicators and learn the art of attraction – but she had no idea that there are all of these wacky companies out there that teach pick-up terminology and teach you how to be something that you are not. (more…)
Change Your Patterns
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Here’s the problem with having a minimalist approach in life.
If you have the minimalist approach to your business, what happens? You don’t make any money, right? You have to have that same feeling of abundance in every facet of life.
So many guys will meet a girl and then say to themselves, I don’t want to blow this! You’re acting like this is the last pretty girl you will ever see. Instead of challenging yourself and having a good conversation with her, you’re monitoring yourself and trying not to blow it. You walk over there and you play it safe, because you don’t want to blow it.

Understanding the Confident/Nervous Guy
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008So let’s say there is a guy you are attracted to whom you see all the time. When you see him, he’s always out with his friends, laughing and just having a great time with his buddies. Every time you try to talk to him, though, he gets all nervous.
You’ve got to understand something about this guy. You think this guy is so cool, calm, collected and confident. The truth is that if he’s nervous around you, then he’s interested in you.
Just look at his personality. That’s something that I always tell women.

Why Do Women Fall For Bad Boys?
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008Why Do Women Fall For Bad Boys By David Wygant
Sometimes my house is called Camp David – no, I don’t have any political heads of state there, nor am I entertaining George Bush, his dog, and all his Washington drinking cronies – but I always seem to have a group (sometimes small, sometimes large) of people hanging out there.
Sometimes on a Bootcamp weekend I’ll have a whole bunch of clients staying over at my house – and then it really is Camp David! It’s like a sleepover. They all bring their sleeping bags, and we go duck hunting in the morning, and then we go do some pow wow stuff. Just kidding, we don’t really do that in the mornings!
