MINDSET MATTERS, AND SO DOES ACTION


We talk a lot about grit and mental toughness
around here.

That comes from the raw willpower to get down
and dirty and make something happen.

Measure the risk, face it, and damn the
torpedoes.

People who take responsibility and GO FOR IT
tend to get what they want in life. There's just
no denying it.

And another undeniable indicator of real, lasting
success is having the winning mindset.

You most certainly can't simply shy away, but
there's no "faking it 'til you make it", either.

And just like the fictional subject of today's
newsletter below, when your mindset sucks, so
will your life in general.

Success will elude you.

Women will straight-up avoid you.

Finding, achieving and maintaining a powerful,
winning combination of  bulletproof mindset and
decisive, effective action is what the Ten-Plus
coaching program is all about.

Men who stand up and seize the opportunity in
this life are the ones who get the women they
want.

They also get the career they desire, access
the social circles they want to run with and
finally live the dream they've held fast to for
years.

Now it's time to become the hero in your
own story.

No more waiting. No more merely hoping. And
most definitely no more Schleprocking.

If you've been putting it off...and putting it off...
and putting it off...for months or even years...

...you have to ask yourself how long you're
going to wait.

Too long is long enough.

There are real women, in real life, who are
waiting for a real man like you to sweep them
off their feet.

But it will take real action to meet them.

"Keyboard jockeys" and "theory engineers"
will continue to get left in the dust as life
happens around them.

Let's talk about the right Ten-Plus program
for you:



Take Action



Your definition of success is the only measure.

That's why each Ten-Plus program is customized
based on your vision and your goals.

about how it works, and why countless men
who've gone for it say they wish they would have
done so YEARS ago:

LET'S GO, SCHLEPROCK


If you have no idea who Schleprock was, don't feel bad.
You'd need to have been a kid in the '70's to have an
idea.

You've probably heard of "The Flintstones" though, of
course.

Fred and Barney live on in syndicated popularity over
sixty years after first gracing prime time TV back in the
1960 (yes..the show was originally targeted at all ages).

Well, by the '70s there was a spin-off kids' show
featuring Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as teenagers.

One of the characters in this now relatively obscure
cartoon series was named Schleprock.

To say bad luck followed Schleprock would be an
understatement. A dark cloud literally followed the guy
everywhere.

And whenever he showed up something rotten was
about to happen.

As far as personality goes, picture Eeyore on steroids.

Decades later, the show has been all but relegated to
the vault, but Schleprock himself remains an iconic
representation of bad luck.

Maybe you remember the group interview scene in
Boiler Room, where Ben Affleck dismisses the first
casualty by saying, "C'mon, let's go Schleprock...out!"

Some of us would appear to identify with Schleprock
just a little too closely.

ESPECIALLY when it comes to women.

Believe me, I hear sob stories about "limiting beliefs"
all the time.

Guys all over the world don't believe they're good
enough to attract high quality women. And even if
they do, they're under the impression that women
just don't--and won't--like them back.

Dozens of times I've heard the mantra, "I guess I
just have no luck with women".

Well here it is, Schleprock. You do NOT have a dark
cloud following you around. Not in real life, at least.

Don't get me wrong, I won't begin to doubt there are
TONS of guys out there--possibly even reading this
newsletter--who have experienced the Schleprock-
like phenomenon of bad stuff seeming to happen
around them all the time.

But luck has NOTHING to do with it.

And that's the best news possible. That means you
can do something about it.

Let me just spell it out for you.

I believe "The Schleprock Factor" follows a very
predictable formula. Here it is:


NEGATIVITY + IRRESPONSIBILITY = SCHLEPROCK


When we have a NEGATIVE attitude, we essentially
lack confidence, don't we? We see a situation and
expect the worst. We see a task before us and
naturally presume ultimate failure.

And following logically, we project that kind of failure
on others also.

Call it a "poverty mentality" or whatever, but whether
our vision for others to fail is driven either by our
discomfort with their success OR by a genuine
assumption of negative outcome, it really doesn't
matter.

There's certainly no grit or mental toughness there.

And the ramifications are the same:  nobody wants
to hang out with Schleprock.

This goes DOUBLE for women. After all, confidence
is one of the "big four". Plus, girls just wanna have
fun.

And on top being a BUMMER, negativity and failure
have a way of being contagious. Ouch.

It's no wonder you hear so many self-help experts
talking about ridding one's life of negative people.

Right?

For sure, simply having a negative attitude may be
enough to trigger "The Schleprock Factor".

But wait, there's more.

Compounding simple negativity in the equation is
irresponsibility.

You remember irresponsibility. That's the trait that
causes younger women to ignore guys their own
age and flock to older men.

Irresponsibility involves making bad decisions,
including both errors of commission and omission.

Being irresponsible, besides being a strong
indicator that one lacks wisdom (i.e. life
experience), also demonstrates that we lack
self-respect enough to guard ourselves from
BAD consequences.

Think about it.

So ultimately, when you mesh a negative outlook
with bad decision-making, you essentially blow
attraction out of the picture.

In light of all this, let's go down the "big four"
checklist and take inventory.

Let's see... No confidence? No attraction.

Masculinity? Negativity and bad judgment aren't
exactly the earmarks of a provider OR a
protector, are they?

And when you're decision-making and self-
respect are at play, how can you possibly
expect to inspire confidence in a woman? Is
that the kind of leadership she will gladly
choose to follow?

Finally, what about character? Well, I don't
exactly see Schleprock enshrined in the Great
Man Hall Of Fame.

Add it all up, and "Schleprock" is synonymous
with "victimhood".

If what I'm talking about sounds like tough love,
I make no apologies.

But remember always...the fact that you control
how much or how little "The Schleprock Factor"
will affect you is GOOD NEWS.

Victims are powerless, while those who take
responsibility take their power back.

And as always, it all comes down to deserving
what you want.
