Hitting Targets, Reaching Goals

Who can carry the message to Garcia?

In the story made famous by Dan Kennedy, becoming the go-to guy or surrounding yourself with reliable people becomes invaluable asset.

There are two choices when faced with a situation in life. One is about yourself; are you the type of person who always gets the message to Garcia, who will not take no for an answer, who will react decisively to a treat, deal decisively with situations? Are you a reliable performer and not wimp out to excuses.

The other choice is, what type of people do you allow inside your world? What about the people you rely on, work with and trust? Dan Kennedy gives this advice: “when someone returns with excuses and an undelivered message, don’t give him another one to deliver. Just put a bullet between his eyes and try another messenger.”

Softball Humor

Subject: Rose & Barb
 

 

Two 90-year-old women, Rose and Barb, had been 
friends all of their lives. When it was clear that 
Rose was dying, Barb visited her every day. One day 
Barb said, ‘Rose, we both loved playing women’s 
softball all our lives, and we played in all through 
High School. Please do me one favor: when you get to
Heaven, somehow you must let me know if there’s 
women’s softball there.’ 
Rose looked up at Barb from her deathbed, ‘Barb, 
you’ve been my best friend for many years. If it’s 
at all possible, I’ll do this favor for you.’ 
Shortly after that, Rose passed on. 
 
At midnight a couple of nights later, Barb was 
awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of 
white light and a voice calling out to her, ‘Barb, 
Barb.’ 

‘Who is it?’ asked Barb, sitting up suddenly. 
‘Who is it?’ 
 
‘Barb — it’s me, Rose.’ 
 
‘You’re not Rose. Rose just died.’ 
 
‘I’m telling you, it’s me, Rose,’ insisted the 
voice. 
 
‘Rose! Where are you?’ 
 
‘In Heaven,’ replied Rose. ‘I have some really 
good news and a little bad news.’ 
 
‘Tell me the good news first,’ said Barb. 

‘The good news,’ Rose said, ‘is that there’s 
Softball in Heaven. Better yet, all of our old 
buddies who died before us are here, too. Better 
than that, we’re all young again. Better still, it’s 
always springtime, and it never rains or snows. And 
best of all, we can play softball all we want, and 
we never get tired.’ 
 
‘That’s fantastic,’ said Barb.. ‘It’s beyond my 
wildest dreams! So what’s the bad news?’ 
 
‘You’re pitching Tuesday.’

The Game

"It’s easy to have faith in yourself and discipline when you’re a winner, when you’re No. 1. What you’ve got to have is faith and discipline when you’re not yet a winner."

– Vince Lombardi, football coach

Perhaps the most important life choice you make will be the partner you choose. You’ll likely want the most attractive, the best character and disposition to live with and wake up to. In order to find your attractive best mate you’ll need to play a top-notch game to maximize your choices. You need high self-esteem to believe you deserve a 9 or 10 rate female of the species.

If you suffer from low-self esteem you’ll feel you don’t deserve the best and not try for the exceptional. If you’re game isn’t up to par, you’ll have difficulty even with the 7’s.

Be Cool, Not Over The Top

If you’re too slick you’ll get shot down as a sleeze bag. Be careful not to go too over the top and earn a creepy tag by overly bragging or being nerdy technical or overly aggressive getting into someone’s personal space without building on the primary attraction blocks first.

You need to build attraction first before moving on. Skipping the primary give and take banter by stepping on the throttle will get you banned. Being assertive and uptight and not relaxed will get anyone on edge as well as being physically invasive on first contact.

By laying back not being pushy, being cool you get the attraction mojo establishing in her mind that you are of a higher perceived value, that she as more to gain from you than you from her.

The Prize Catch

Like in any marketing effort, the object has to be desirable. In this case it’s you. It’s important to women – damn important – that they are after a prize catch, not a wuss or a bag of hot air. If you have a full head of hair, tall, good looking, good build that’s great.

To live up to a prize catch, you have to show leadership. No attractive woman wants a doormat type of guy always seeking her approval. You need to take a strong lead and decide where to go, when to go, how to go … and so on. On the dance floor you follow the beat only you can hear and do your own thing, she can follow it or not. And so with life. In all aspects of life you need to project yourself as the captain of the ship. Certain areas you can delegate, but you be the dance leader.

Have ideas and suggestions. Don’t be always asking, "where do you want to go? What do you want to do? You decide, it’s your choice." Take the power ball and don’t pass it back to the woman. You decide and suggest.

Attraction Chemistry

Whining is a call to feel sorry for yourself. Little boys do it. Men shouldn’t.

No one likes to hear others whine and women especially don’t want to hear grown men whine. It’s a big turn  off, an unattractive downer.

Whining shows no responsibility for you actions. If it’s a trait that graps hold of you at times,you have to become completely intolerant  of that mode of expression.

Sever contact with anyone who on a continual basis whines. Don’t associate with them. Find other to hang with. This stuff rubs off and you don’t want to get infected. If you suffer of it, cure yourself. Pull the switch. Shut it off.

It’s all over the media, in music, in print — you get saturated with this  dribble. But shut it off and listen to things that lend themselves to learning new things, developing new skills and other areas of successful endeavor.

It’s important in building your attractive character to stay away from the whine, not the wine.

"Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos – the trees, the clouds, everything."
–Thich Nhat Hanh

Attraction is all or nothing. Either you know how to create it or you’re dead. We pull all the stops so you learn it well.
