- I got rejected two times
I got rejected two times
and today I'm training with a National Boxing Champion
Hey warrior,
so it’s closing in on Christmas and I know you also love to see the gifts underneath the Christmas tree.
That’s why I’ll be telling you two stories, side-by-side, while also giving you an insight into the golden question:
How can I approach anyone, anywhere?
Story 1:
I’m walking over a bridge in Georgia with my friend to watch the first football game Georgia is playing in the European Championship. Sun is shining and there is a beautiful atmosphere as the Georgians are excited for their first game.
We’re 20 minutes late because of my time-optimism.
I see this girl and man, she attracts me. Normally I would approach her (I approached 5 girls earlier that day and they all rejected me). But we’re already late because of me.
As we’re walking towards the place to watch the game, the girl is still walking ahead of us. My mind is going back and forth.
I want to do it, but it’s not the time
My friend will be angry with me
What if she rejects me and I just wasted more time
Story 2:
I’m back in Norway for Christmas, and my father told me that the son of our neighbor is a National Norwegian Champion in boxing. As I’ve trained boxing for about 3 years, I would love to train with him.
I go out for a walk and consider going knocking on their door. The thing is though, time is already like 21:00 so it could be rude to knock so late. Again, my mind is going back and forth.
I want to do it, but it’s not the time
They will be angry with me
What if he’s not home and I just wasted more time
Before moving on…imagine how 97% of guys would react to these thoughts.
He would hesitate and…nothing would happen.
But my warrior friend, this is not a typical story!
———————————————————————————
Story 1
We’re about to go down left to the place where the outside big screen TV is and in that moment I stop, point at the girl that’s still walking ahead of us and tell my friend.
I tell him
Man, I really find her attractive
He smiles and tells me to go.
I go up and the rest is history.
Story 2
I tell myself that if I see some movement in the kitchen as I walk by the house I’ll knock on the door.
Then, what do you think happens?
I see someone in the kitchen.
You know this feeling? When you say you will do something and then you get the opportunity to prove your word. This is the moment that divides the gladiator from the guy that gets eaten by the lion.
I decide to go for it and I knock. His mother opens and after a minute of chitchat her son comes up and we schedule a training session.
In a few hours I’m training with a Norwegian National Champion in boxing!
Now what is the lesson here?
How can you approach anyone, anywhere?
It’s easy - but you gotta do the work first. Here’s what I mean:
The thoughts that stop you from doing it are repetetive. That old CD has been playing in your mind for years. All you gotta do is realize that the CD is stuck and decide to not listen to it. Here is how:
1.Open your phone
2 .Open “Notes”
3. On the top write “Limiting thoughts”
Then, the next time you see a cute girl or someone you want to approach and start to hesitate, write down the thought like “It’s not the time.”
Over the next few days, you’ll see how the thoughts are repetitive and this increased awareness gives you the clarity so that in the moment where you have the opportunity - you’re more likely to act on your desire instead of the limiting thought.
Practicing this makes approaching easy and that’s how you can approach anyone, anywhere.
This is the first step we do inside my coaching program Raw Authenticity so that you’ll remove the overthinking and hesitation making approaching any girl, anywhere, easy.
