About David
1.7 million men & women come to me every month to find the secrets to success. And after 20 years of coaching, I’ve discovered the golden keys to success in dating, business, health and wellness, and life.
I’ve helped millions of men and women around the globe achieve success in their dating, social and personal lives. I’m also a father to the world’s cutest little girl, and I am an unapologetic man. Some say I’m nuts, others say I’ve changed their life forever. One thing’s for certain: I’ll always give you the truth, whether you can handle it or not. I never sugar coat anything.
Nice is so overrated. I’d prefer brutally honest breakthrough to a “nice” rut any damn day of the week. If you’re the same way, then you've come to the right place.
Nope, my only resolution was to develop myself as much as possible, but I've come up with tons of excuses (the cold weather was one of them). They're all rubbish and just my mind trying to stick within my comfort zone.
Love the Men's Mastery Series though, I already feel more confident. It's just that I come from the very bottom, so I have a long way to go. Let's make 2011 a great year, despite the bad start!
hey David first of all i wanna thank u for bringing a very good change in my life. things are going good with my new years resolution. last year i was single all year,i just started a business and my problems and dificulties crushed me :))but now i'm on a hype again ,i'm with this really nice girl that i met this month, my business is starting to take a good direction again and i am going into a very positive direction.but ,most of this is really because a couple of months ago i found your site and took some action :D sorry for my bad spelling .thanks ,have a good year everybody!
I still pretty much am.
I am still growing day by day by going after what it is I want. And this is not only in the area of women and dating.
Today I had to sign papers to start a 5 month internship on flight simulator.
The woman, who I signed the papers for, had a big Jack Sparrow poster on her office wall.
I commented:"So, I see you are also a Jack Sparrow fan."
I kid you not, you should have seen her face light up. We talked for a good fifteen minutes about Pirates of the Carribean.
I was studying at school for my exams, and there was this guy sitting across me, also studying. We looked at eachother and didn't say a word. Right after that moment I said:"Yo man, what subject are you studying for?"
We talked for a good 10 minutes.
There was this other guy who started talking to me, asking allot of questions about me. Where I was from, what it was that I was studying, what the reason was behind the choice of studying aeronautical engineering, etc.
I felt great talking to the guy.
Tip: Ask as much questions as you can when talking to people about themselves. People like to talk about themselves.
I humbly admit I didn't quite keep my resolutions. I just don't believe in them anymore. Like you mentioned before it seems like the more I think about getting hyped up about setting new goals with too high expectations it just doesn't work. So any advice for not setting such high expectations?
Hey David,
All your audios welcomed questions on your blog. I have a deep one that's been bugging me.
Do you think acne scars could limit my dating success?
Acne affected my life on a deep level a year ago. I got over the depression a few months ago and decided to get my life back. I had always been involved with the community but this limiting belief runs deep.
I would be grateful to hear your opinion on this.
Thanks
I didn't set New Year's resolutions... I made a vow to change my lifestyle months ago (around August).
Specifically, to put myself out there and open up in order to rid myself of social anxiety, to confront my demons and resolve or make peace with them, and to constantly discover more about myself and evolve my life in every way I can.
And I'm absolutely sticking to it. Life is great and it's only getting better. Cheers :)
Yo Dave whats goin down brotha.I'm still hittin that Atkins Diet and im goin strong man.Im back up to hittin 15 20 pullups a set and i lost 20 pounds in January!
Why is it that we get caught up and think "yes, yes, yes... this year I am going to lose weight/give up smoking/ get a girlfriend/boyfriend..." then not stay true to that thought?
I believe it is because in today's society in general, around the world, people have not been taught integrity. Doing what you say you will do, keeping your word. Being honest (even with yourself.)
Most people are not able to commit to something or even someone.
To make deep change, we need to decide, commit then go with it, that is walk out that decision.
However when we can see what integrity is and also are taught explicitly what it is, then we can begin to understand.
Thank you David for your mentoring of men. You give the example, show what something looks like and also explain it. You really are affecting change in people's lives.
