I’m going to turn this into a small series and bring out a post where I have lessons to share from a previous coaching session. This weekend’s student was called Chris - his testimonial is now on the coaching and testimonials page - and here are a few points from the couple of hours of … Continue reading Lessons From This Weekend’s Coaching #2
Reframing Negative Self-Talk
This post is going to be a quick and simple one, and describes another tool which I gave to Callum when we did some coaching on the weekend. As a beginner/intermediate, it can turn into a depressing time on the street if you let your negative self-talk get to you. That’s why you should identify … Continue reading Reframing Negative Self-Talk
The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
I recently finished re-reading The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane and today I want to share some of its lessons with you and give you my recommendation. This book falls firmly into the practicable camp, rather than Seven Habits, which was a lot more foundational. I prefer the practical books, though, since I already … Continue reading The Charisma Myth, Olivia Fox Cabane (Review/Summary)
Lessons From This Weekend’s Coaching
I did a couple of hour’s infield coaching this weekend with a guy named Callum (who knows I’m writing this post). We’d talked over a Skype consultation a few week’s prior and he’d decided to pay for some infield coaching as well. The two hours turned out to be a perfect timeframe for me to … Continue reading Lessons From This Weekend’s Coaching
Your Potential
As has been noted before, the similarities between bodybuilding and Daygame are seemingly endless; I only need to go to the gym to get an idea for a blog post. Today is all about genetic potential. There’s an old Krauser post where he talks about “reveal vs restructure,” in that some guys only need to … Continue reading Your Potential
Surviving the Ups and Downs of Bad Dates
I had a Skype consultation recently where we talked a bit about how to deal with the ups and downs of failed dates. It segued perfectly into my recent experience: I’m getting a regular amount of numbers, then a good amount of those are converting to dates, but only one lay since I’ve returned to … Continue reading Surviving the Ups and Downs of Bad Dates
Third Post on Verbals, and Twitter
Okay, this is the third post on verbals which I promised last week based on Roderick’s tweet when I went out to ask for post ideas. Today I just want to go on a mini-rant, but to try and keep it as positive as possible. So, I take note of my stats on WordPress and … Continue reading Third Post on Verbals, and Twitter
Just Get to the Point
As promised, this is post two of three based on Roderick’s request. Today will be all about getting to the point. The best way to approach this problem, in my opinion, is to simply speak/message less. If you say “the more we wrote, the faster the conversation died,” then isn’t the blindingly obvious solution to … Continue reading Just Get to the Point
My Current Opener
Recently I put out my standard tweet asking for post ideas and Roderick was kind enough to respond. In fact, he’s going to get three posts for his efforts. The first one, today, is the opener I’m currently using, which I’ve pieced together over the years from numerous sources (check my Recommend Reading), and I’m … Continue reading My Current Opener
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
I just finished reading the core of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. In terms of whether I’d recommend reading it or not, I’d give it a five or a six out of ten. The author just rubbed me up the wrong way and I’d much rather have read a condensed … Continue reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Daygamers
