Hi,
I'm new to this forum. I have been following Richard and other NLP/self protection authors and martial artists for a few years now(Marc The Animal Deyoung I very much enjoy too).
I just wanted to say I really enjoy this forum. I really enjoy Richards stuff too. He is a very good teacher because his points are very simple, easy to understand and are coming from someone who has learned from experience. I'm going to buy some DVD's when I start working again and get some extra cash.
Like most posters on this board here I'd like to give my viewpoint, maybe some people would find it helpful or whatever.
I would say the ultimate key in self protection or picking up women or whatever you want to do with other people is CONFIDENCE.
Being positive and confident will get you very far in life.
I have lived my life alot of the time in pure negativity and paranoia. Having a negative voice in your head can drive you to violence and failure. But thankfully you can change this voice to say whatever you want it to say because it is YOUR voice. It just takes effort and the will to do so.
If you have a positive confident outlook, it is almost like a magnet for good things to happen.
Thanks to everybody for your awesome insights.
I'll keep checking back and reading.
