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 itend
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:

and your goals.

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
originally was 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.  And 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 is going to want to hang
out with Schleprock.

This goes DOUBLE for women.  After all, confidence is one of the
"big four".

And on top being a BUMMER, negativity and failure have this 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?  Assuming the worst and having 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.
