This isn't news.
The more I sincerely perceive myself as high value (good-looking, well-dressed, charming, nonchalant, mysterious, etc) the more I'm able to get done in general. SMV, in my opinion, not only affects womens' attraction towards me, but also makes me a magnet for acquiring what I want from any person and situation.
I love being admired, looked at with jealousy, and wondered about. I guess you can call it borderline narcissism. My extreme confidence started to sky rocket when I turned 26 and became in charge of a family member's bar and alcohol promotions team for his whole chain of restaurants. My SMV was at an all-time high (at least in my own perception of myself) when I was about 27. Sometimes I look back and wonder how the hell I was so confident.
I'll be turning 31 in a few days and I'd like to get back to that mindset. I definitely didn't have as much wisdom back then as I do now, which is probably why I've become more "aware" of myself. Nowadays, it's easier for me to get intimidated. I used to never let myself fall into anyone's frame, but I find myself slowly losing a lot of the edge I had in my business relationships. I started second-guessing myself because I started to take life too seriously and letting drawbacks affect my confidence and how I see myself. That will all end now.
I think the correlation is that I stopped caring so much about SMV and tried so hard to be more "business-like." I also fell into one of my partner/investor's frame of "nothing matters except the business." Back then when things were so smooth, it wasn't necessarily because I worked more. I think it was more because I gave less of a sh*t. I cared more about myself than anything else. This doesn't mean I didn't care about people. I sure did, but I knew that me striving for higher status meant that these people (immediate family) I did care about would benefit from it.
This year will be all about myself and my perception of myself. Time to lose the extra pounds I've picked up in the last few years, get back on track with mastering my skills of choice, level up my wardrobe and become even more of a megalomaniac dresser, and re-awaken the lion who literally thought nothing was impossible.
