INTroduCTION 6
you taking the time to read this book ? You are significantly more likely to attain your goals if you can concretely explain to yourself why you want them , not simply what they are .
So tell me why you ’ re learning . Think about it carefully . Whatever you hope to gain from this , you will gain at some point . If you fail to uncover your true intentions and set appropriate goals accordingly , you will not be happy with what you attain .
When I initially started learning this , I was very clear about what I wanted to get out of it : “ I want to gain the ability to attract my wife when I finally meet her .” The last thing I wanted was to meet the woman of my dreams and stand there and stare at her not knowing what to say , clueless about how to attract her , and unsure of how to move forward . Eliminating that possibility , that was my intention .
Unfortunately , I know a lot of guys who started studying this without getting their intentions straight first . They studied and applied their knowledge until they arrived at the point they thought they wanted to be , only to find that they weren ’ t satisfied with it . They had nothing left except to say that their intention was only to sleep with a bunch of beautiful women .
If that ’ s your intention , that will happen . But the problem is that the moment you achieve that goal , you have nowhere else to go , nothing new to achieve , nothing higher to strive for . Your success begins to stall and you hit what is known as “ a glass ceiling ,” which means that you can see something desirable ( metaphorically on the other side of the ceiling ),
