Yes, pickup is the silver lining you are looking for, but you must give it your all.

I know some of you were the golden boys growing up. Good looking. Nice. Teachers and your friend's parents loved you. A lot of girls liked you. You were supposed to go far in life.

But something didn't work out.

You went to the wrong university. You got into a car accident. The love of your life broke your heart.

You're in college but everyone is now 5 years younger than you. Or you didn't get hired right out of college now it is almost impossible for you to get into your career now.

Everyone else is finding their wife at work. You have no work, money, or wife.

At least most losers have always been losers. They're used to it. But you saw those pearly white gates to only have it taken away.

And that makes you the biggest loser here.

Kicking Ass As a Failure

Following the whole idea of being a failure in getting a career job after college...that's okay.

Why?

Because you can still be a kick ass solid door-to-door salesman if you work at it. Or you can even do phone sales. Some of these people make like $450,000. Don't believe me? Then check out /r/sales.

Heck, their jobs are probably way better than some office job with bosses and stressful deadlines.

But most people swear that being in sales is a bad idea.

And they'll tell you that cold approach is a waste of time.

But I doubt they put in the effort to educate themselves and work at it for 8 hours each day like a real job.

They thought life was supposed to be easy. They didn't want to think for themselves. They did wanted to do what they were told. But now they're the ones working some crappy job with their college degree.

And you don't have to be a pickup artist for the rest of your life. Just how you don't have to be a salesman for the rest of your life.

You can take that money and invest it into something else.

And you can take that confidence and great experiences from pickup and live some completely different life.

Sure, there are jobs besides door-to-door salesman. But whatever job you do (and however you choose to meet women) you have to give it your 100%.

You're Not Giving 100%

How many approaches are you doing?

If you just say 3 on the weekend...would a door-to-door salesman be any good if he only knocked on 3 doors?

Come on, stop living in your fantasy world and get real here. Life isn't easy. So stop being easy on yourself.

But if you're hard on yourself, life will suddenly get easy.

If you're doing 100 approaches, okay then you're putting in the work. You could do more, but you will start to see results with those numbers.

However...

If you're just mindlessly approaching 100 girls without putting any thought into it, then you also aren't giving 100%.

A pro salesman will educate himself with the best material. But more importantly he'll figure out how to apply that knowledge to his craft. He'll make a detailed game plan. He'll track his numbers.

But even something as simple as an action checklist is better than mindlessly reading one book then moving on to the next.

Turn pro. That means working smart and hard. Or else you'll never get the results that you want in life.

In the Real World NOBODY Gets the Gold, But We Can Work For the Silver

Yeah, your life isn't perfect. Nobody's life is perfect.

Would your life have been perfect if mommy or daddy had done this or that for you? Did you get screwed over on your college application? Is your depression holding you back?

Well, fuck you asshole. No one's life is perfect.

Show me that golden boy who you think has it all and I'll show you a closet full of demons that will haunt him till the day he dies.

Even if you did start with a perfect life, it's a statistical guarantee it's going to be ruined eventually. So stop acting like you're a broken flower that can't be fixed.

Life is about getting the fuck up when you get knocked down. Not laying down and crying about it. Everyone else is going to roll their eyes as they run past you. Get the fuck up.

No one's life is perfect, but we can start working towards an awesome future.

That's the real beauty in life. That's the real characteristic of mankind. Determination.

You do know you can turn shit into diamonds, right? Put enough pressure and heat to anything carbon based (like peanut butter) and it's turned into diamonds.

I don't care how shitty your life is, you can turn it into a diamond. But it takes a ton of heat and pressure. It takes a lot of work. You HAVE to give 100% to make things better.

Get off your ass and do it!
