“The first thing I listened to was ‘Burn The Shame’. I felt a change immediately. And then ‘Power of Nonchalance’ came out, so I blind-bought it. That’s when I realized how much I’ve been making my own life difficult. And ‘Power of Nonchalance’ literally changed my entire perception of life. If I could give myself advice when I was 20, I would say to myself: listen to ‘Burn The Shame’ first, and then ‘Power of Nonchalance’. I would be much further ahead and in a MUCH simpler way.”
— Alexander Wilson
People who are tense don’t make money. Because money is earned by those who are relaxed, who give the impression that everything comes nice and easy for them. And it’s not that they are relaxed to the point of being careless. They are relaxed because they have skills and understand the mind-body connection. Because if your body is tense, if your mind is tense, you block the flow of energy and inevitably, you cannot be effective!
— Paraphrase Dan Gable
“Any expression of nervousness, uncertainty, or self-consciousness will cause you to appear weak and will affect the judges’ decision. The audience, too, is very sensitive and will pick up on any negative emotions.”
— Mike Mentzer
That is, if you are nervous you seem weak, and people are very sensitive to these types of negative emotions. Whether it’s work, business, a sales conversation, a date or your private life. The nervous energy of stress and tension in every area of your life not only makes you seem weaker, but actually causes you to achieve less. Ironically, you achieve less in a more difficult way, because when you’re tense, everything cost more effort. In this program we will talk about how to give the impression of being stronger, how to be stronger mentally, how to have more charisma, be more charming, and make other people like you.
“I certainly think that it is better to be impetuous than cautious, for fortune is a woman, and it is necessary if you wish to master her, to conquer her by force.”
— Machiavelli
Nothing is more repellent to others than this needy, dirty energy. Nothing destroys your life as much as this constantly tense nerve.
People tend to exaggerate, to try too hard, to strain too much. This isn’t the way. Everyone encourages and promotes this crazy approach of giving 110% effort all day long. This is moronic advice for morons. Virtually every success is a marathon, not a sprint. Every advanced, experienced and well-rounded powerlifter will tell you that when building strength, you can’t always train to muscle failure. In fact, the best powerlifters train with a margin most of the time. Because strength is built, not tested.
The same is true in virtually every area of life. You have to build yourself, your skills, your career, or your business. Not test them. It’s like this pendulum – the more you pull it to one side, the more it will bounce back to the opposite side. That’s why I don’t like the personal development industry and all this bullshit about hustling – it’s often nonsense and a martyr mentality, which is one of the biggest roadblocks to winning. So start using the lever and stop making it difficult for yourself. This program will help you transition out of the martyr mentality, the stress, and the heavy energy into real achievement, just as high-performance people actually do.
