“I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen.” – Frank Lloyd Wright
(quoted in “How To Get Rich”)
I know that a lot of men absolutely hate the idea of walking into a bookstore and buying an advice book on dating (that’s a big reason we’re here – and growing more popular every day). So rather than point you to a classic dating book I’ve decided instead to review Donald Trump’s latest book “How To Get Rich” and show you why good advice is good advice and can usually be applied to more than one area in your life. After all, no one’s going to give you a funny look for taking advice on money matters from Donald Trump.
Now in paperback this national best seller is chalk full of great ideas on becoming a success in any avenue of your life. It’s a fast easy read, but I think you’ll be as surprised as I was just how interesting and well thought out the advice from “The Donald” really is. I’m not going to follow the book in sequence, rather I’m going to pull from random chapters and point out how the advice given in them works whether you apply it to dating or getting rich.
Change Your Altitude
In this chapter The Donald asks, “What’s the altitude of your attitude? Is it high frequency or low frequency?” He goes on to advise, “Having a high frequency will attune you to a wavelength that exudes confidence and clear-sighted enthusiasm. I’m a firm believer that this is half the battle of any enterprise.”
Mull that over for a moment. One of the richest most powerful men in the United States (and because of this the world) believes that changing the altitude of your attitude “up” is half the battle in any enterprise. That means that by changing your mental attitude about who you are and what you have to offer women guys. If you get nothing from Seduction Insider except that you have the power to change your mental state, that you have the power within yourself right here and now to start creating a sense of confidence and high self-esteem within yourself and that doing this will change your world (and your dating life) then we’ve done our job.
Reflect For Three Hours A Day
Hard to believe that the high energy gregarious Donald Trump needs his down time, but he highly recommends it stating “…I need a certain amount of quiet time – usually about three hours a day – in order to stay balanced. It’s time I use to read and reflect, and I always feel renewed and refreshed by this. It also gives me material to feed my extroverted nature.”
In order to have his quiet time and keep on top of his local, national, and international newspaper reading Trump gets up at 5:00 a.m.! That’s right. At night he also gets in reading time usually of biographies and philosophers (like Socrates, yep, you got that right).
In these modern times it’s easy to either run, run, run and then hit a wall and become a complete couch potato doing nothing more than flipping channel from one mindless show to another. Take a tip from Trump and carve out personal time for yourself to read and reflect. Feed your mind with information that’s going to improve you mind, body and soul and give yourself the down time to absorb it. This is especially crucial if you want to not only go out with, but also keep up with, a better class of women mentally. Understand that just as the muscles of your body actually mend and build during rest – not the work out – your mental capabilities grow when you feed your brain the right “high quality” information and then let it rest and process everything.
Dress For Your Culture
Actually Trump means “dress for the culture you want to be a part of” (he’s already a part of it). Trump himself use to dress on the cheap stating, “I use to pride myself on buying very inexpensive suits and other clothing. It just didn’t make sense to pay thousands of dollars for great clothes when you could buy something for a hundred dollars. Who would know the difference?” He soon learned, however, that items such as cheap shoes wore out quickly and always looked just as cheap as the cheap price he paid for them.
Trump also relays something that is true of most people and that is, “I tend to notice what people are wearing only if they look exceptionally well put together – or exceptionally badly put together. It was more to do with style than which designer they may or may not be wearing.”
Quite frankly if you want to stand out from the crowd of most men and gain the attention of beautiful and successful women you need to be a sharp dresser. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Mirror your targets. Women who spend time, money and attention making themselves beautifully put together appreciate a man who stands out with his style and attention to detail.
Start Visualizing Positively
Trump recommends that you keep a book of inspiring quotes nearby, so you can change a negative wavelength the moment it descends on you. This is superb advice. We recommend that you keep favorite quotes in a drawer at work, on the refrigerator, on your mirror at home, in your car…any place where you might both need and boost and have time to reflect on it.
Cover These Eleven Bases Of Public Speaking
I’m just going to list them out exactly as Trump does in the book. Note that each and every one of these points will not only help you to become a good public speaking, they’ll also make you a prepared and interesting date:
Think about your audience first (think about the woman, not you).
Get your audience involved (don’t talk “at” a woman, get her involved in the conversation).
Be prepared (know where to take a woman to show her a good time).
Be a good storyteller (know how to entertain women with your words).
Be aware of a common denominator (find a way to connect with her).
Be an entertainer (women love a man who can keep them entertained and make them laugh).
Be able to laugh at yourself (be humble, show your humanity).
Think on your feet (don’t be so in “your head” worrying that you’re not keyed into what’s really going on with the date).
Listen.
Have a good time.
