I'd agree with most but, too many guys are shooting too low. It may be sacrelige to say it here, but girls aren't everything. It's great to study the ways of women/ psycology, and it will take you far in life, but unless you become a PUA guru (if those are your ambitions, I say GO FOR IT), It's unlikely to make you much money. What is your passion? What do you LIKE TO DO? If you had to have one thing, and knew for the rest of your life it would pay you and you'd be happy what would it be? set goals and accomplish them. Shoot for the MFing stars. they're your stars. You can have ANYTHING you want, barring mental or physical retardation (and I'm sorry if that is your case, you'll have to shoot for something plausible. If it's mental, be a physical monster/master, if its physical, be a stephen hawking in your field of study), you should be able to accomplish ANYTHING. Never use "it's too hard, will take too long" as an excuse. You obviously don't want it bad enough... but if you do, do it. You might not be the #1 in the world/ universe, but in your sphere of influence (large city, state, country,) you can likely be the top or second best, and that will gain you mad recognition, and women and riches. Do what you WANT to do. Do what you LIKE to do. If you're spending 40 hrs a week making someone else rich (corporations, employers, etc) own your life. If it's soemthign you love you should have no problem dedicating 60-80+ hrs a week to it. even if you're full time employed you can dedicated 40+ hrs a week towards becoming self sufficient to make a living out of it. Now you've freed up 40+ more hrs... Be who you want to be. Anybody who is passionate, even obsessed with what they do, will be found desirable to women. Be a winner at whatever you do. Choose your life and your passion, and move forward. No More wasting time. Read "The richest Man in Babylon." It has a good chapter on bettering youself. Sorry to sound sappy and glib. you can be anything you want to be. If you REALLY want it, you'll TRY.
