Man, have I changed! I really have. I used to go to Whole Foods all the time to pick up my groceries . . . and anything else I could find. Now I’m in Whole Foods this morning picking up nothing except groceries for my girlfriend and her mother.
I’m there just picking up apricots, peaches and spinach. I used to walk around there picking up blonds and brunettes. Now the only thing blond I’m picking up in here is an apricot. Either I’ve really growing up or I’m really in love.
For those of you who really do want to pick up blonds and brunettes at Whole Foods instead of peaches and apricots, then I’m posting this blog which is much more relevant to you than to me. If you want to learn how to meet blonds and not peaches in whole foods check out how to do this from last weekend’s bootcamp, we showed how important it is to engage others in conversation and to remember details. Below is an excerpt about how these build an instant friendship.
Think about what we’ve accomplished just walking around for two hours today. We’ve been gathering momentum. (more…)
Creating emotion in everyone you speak to will really make you memorable.
There is a reason why I encourage people to take themselves out on a date on a Saturday afternoon. In order to become a good date, you have to first take yourself out on a date.
Let’s say it’s Saturday and I have to go pick out a pair of jeans. While I’m out, I’m going to talk to everyone I see based on observations I’ve made. I’m going to share things with them. You can’t expect a woman to even be remotely interested in you unless you share something about yourself with her. (more…)
Earlier today, I was in this great mood. We went to Whole Foods, and as I was walking in the automatic door, this cute woman starts to go in at the same time. I said, “After you,” and she just looked down at the floor, didn’t smile or anything, and walked in and away. (more…)
Coaching is not a miracle. There is no miracle out there. Miracle drugs, diets and solutions are really just quick-fix illusions, like that grilled cheese sandwich in 2004 that had the image of the Virgin Mary burned into it. Someone paid $28,000 on eBay for that! Seriously, I’m not making this shit up! (link the last two words of this sentence with http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4034787.stm)
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? (more…)
In basketball, sometimes you just miss the backboard, you miss the net, and you miss the hoop. Air balls happen in basketball, and air words happen in life.
You see something, say something and no one says anything. Or maybe you go into a store and ask, “Hey, how much is this?” but everyone ignores you. Nobody hears those words. They are air words.
We’re sitting outside the market right now, and a woman just tied up her dog outside. So I made some comment like, “Hey, we won’t steal your dog,” trying to be funny, and she just said nothing. She didn’t even hear me.
In this situation, most guys will start to evaluate it and think to themselves, “Oh, I did something wrong!” But you didn’t.
If your voice tone was great, you said it with humor, and you owned the words, it doesn’t matter. They were just air words – nobody picked them up.
Not everyone is just sitting there, waiting for words to come out of your mouth. Don’t look to other people for acknowledgment or validation. Sometimes in life it’s just about trying. It’s just about the air words.
For some reason yesterdays video was the wrong one. Love technology!!
Today here is a sneak peak into my members site that just launched last night.
Meeting women in grocery stores is all about making basic observations. Grocery stores are great places to meet people.
Client: So what are some openers for grocery stores?
David: It’s the same thing every single time. “You’re not very decisive…” or if she’s ordering something like a tuna sandwich, you can say, “hey, is the tuna good here? I’m curious, I’ve never had it here.” (more…)
Most guys have this mentality: they go out on a Friday night to a bar, they give it five minutes and decide that the bar’s no good. They say to each other, “let’s go to the next one, man,” and they end up CTN – chasing the night.
“Let’s go to the next one,” “let’s go to the next one,” they keep going and at the end of the night, they end up at home – by themselves. They’re alone, staring at the ceiling again and wondering if they missed out on meeting people at the bars they didn’t hit. (more…)
