I have long been curious at how our expectations can seem to shape our future, even when they're not based on reality or any reliable indicators. This explains it very well. As you think, you shall become, but expanded on a global and economic canvas. And then related to OUR actions as men...

Oh yeah, that would be LoveShack! It's a great place to learn how to be a true gentleman by enticing the ladies with stories of your appendicitis, and your emotional scarring from late stage breast feeding! I'd post on there more often but I'm usually too busy stand up paddleboarding!

Yeah man, I've read it. A good mix of content - the stuff on Pareto's law is nothing new, but it's interesting to see how Timothy applied it to his own business... the plan for negotiating a remote work agreement is excellent... as for the ideas on how to create an automated business, Timothy...

How dare you defame the Great One, Westcoaster! The followers of Pook will Dodge The Bullet of your barbs and Endure them! Kill That Desperation to knock the best poster on SoSuave, because you'll need to Aim High to deliver anything close to Fifteen Lessons as good as his. Sure, he's not...

... If your girl wants to see Made of Honour, just say that you'll take care of the tickets, and take her to see Iron Man instead ( it's the first fully masculine super hero film in aaaages ). When Robert Downey Jnr comes on screen, just say it's a cameo, and he's on his way to the wedding.

Oh come on, Gubby, aim higher than that! ;)

I'll resurrect this thread to post some thoughts on writing which were once shared by Pook, the most famous writer on SoSuave: Let us compare Don Juaning to... writing. There are many wannabe writers. They are all scared of rejection (though they won't admit it to themselves). In their...

Thanks very much to Mistic, logic1 and WesCottII for your advice, which I have read and considered. I was thinking that the passive element of the business was heavily dependent on many factors working together (i.e. the cost of the supplies, the candy machine, and the stock / the route being...

Good point WesCott, and it's not so much negativity as straight talk. This is the problem with all these 'proven systems' you see floating around the web - they don't add any value to anyone, so how could you make a profit? What I should make clear is when I say "passive", I mean an active...

Really, Ken 785? What ideas have you had on this subject, and how do you intend to follow them up? I can think of a few book recommendations you could find useful: The Four Hour Workweek - Timothy Ferriss This is a hot book at the moment. Gives you a very specific path to making money...

I'm currently looking into developing passive income assets. These are small businesses, or investments, which deliver a reliable income without your physical presence. You just spend a few months designing and constructing them, and then it takes only a couple of days a month to manage them...

iqqi, thanks for the recommendation, I haven't seen 'Bird by Bird' before. If you've lost your voice, why not take a leaf out of Bukowski's book? Quit writing for a few decades, and take on a series of weird dead end jobs where you come into contact with the broken and dispossessed, and fill...

Getting Started Write what you want to read. Write about what makes you angry, or what matters to you, or what you know, in your heart, in your memory, in the little details; the stories you can tell better than anyone else. Get into a fixed routine. Write every day, take a break on Sundays...

If militant feminism ever stages some kind of violent coup, and they execute all the real men and the blood runs in rivers, Dr Phil will be spared, and end up underground in some cave lair dressed in a gold bikini, being paraded around on a chain by a tubby English professor.

A crazy friend of mine (male, big stocky giant, a hit with the ladies) thought about being a male escort for a while. This is a guy who is regularly coming up with money making schemes, like working as a doorman, or opening a sandwich bar. He thought he could play on video games all day, then...

This is one of the things that I will always like about SoSuave... you can't argue with the fact that the best resources are free and always have been free. It's mildly vexing that there are people who will skip stuff like 'The DJ Bible' and 'Book of Pook' and 'Weapons of Mass Seduction' in...

Karma, why do you take this attitude? Do you find that by focusing on the present moment, you automatically channel your highest values and do what is in line with your purpose in life? Is that an accurate interpretation of your words? Are you serious about not planning on anything after the...

Seconded. Kill that desperation! Don't forget to read Pook's replies on that post, as they are almost more useful than the post itself.

'He' said it himself once, but you really must not put too much effort into psychoanalyzing the Pook, or assuming that what he writes reflects the whole truth of his personal thoughts. 'Pook' is an invention, and I'm not sure how much of what he says can be taken at face value. He is constantly...

My 2 cents: * Get a girl who you are really comfortable with (with me, it was nerves - I was so busy thinking about where to kiss and where to tweak that my **** got scared by all the intellectualising and retreat into it's shell). Have sex regularly, and make sure she is cool with your...
