If you adopt everything from my previous posts you might not get in one of the traps which are descripte in the following article. Anyway it's good to read this to avoid the mistakes that have been written about.

Who says business and pleasure can’t co-exist? It is quite interesting to see that business and getting laid have a lot in common. One of the most primitive needs we have as human beings is being able to reproduce and pass the seed on to future generations. In other words, survival and reproduction. The whole animal kingdom does it. We have to reproduce to survive as a race. In business we must expand and “marry” companies together, to survive in the competitive markets.

We sit at home wondering why life is not going the way we want to. We engage in self-doubt and think negatively of our situation and blame everyone else except ourselves. These are the top 7 reasons why you’re not getting laid or starting a business.

Top 7 Reasons Why You’re Not Getting Laid Or Starting A Business


1. Over-thinking.
You over-think everything. You ask too many questions in your head. Here are a few examples of what goes on in your head: What will happen if I ask him/her out? He/She probably won’t like me. What does he/she think of me? I wonder if he/she has a boyfriend/girlfriend? Gahhh. Yes, “gahhh,” is part of what goes on in your head. The same goes for business. When you start a business you think about similar questions. You ask yourself the “what if” questions and it discourages you. It scatters your brain and you are afraid to do anything about it. Suck it up and just do it.

2. Not going out.
You can’t expect a special fairy to sprinkle magical dust and bring women/men to you while you sit on your ass. It doesn’t matter where you go so long as there are some people present. It could be a bar or club, lounge, book store, grocery store, networking event, speed dating event, restaurant, friends house, the places are endless. Just get out there! This goes the same for business. Good companies don’t form themselves. The successful companies have employees and very rarely would you find a 1 man/woman operation. Getting out there and meeting professionals is essential to growing your brand and growing your business. If you have a blog/website you have to market it. You have to tell people or there will be no traffic and your blog or website will fold. Once again, it’s not just going to drop into your lap. It just doesn’t work that way. Get out there!
* Engage in conversation with a stranger. If you are scared to talk to men/women try talking to sales people at a clothing store. They are there to talk to you. This will help you practice talking to a random person.
* You never know who you are going to meet. By talking to random people you can never know who you will meet or who they will introduce you to. So start up a conversation! It’s fun.

3. Lack of confidence.
If you lack in confidence, you lack the fundamentals of getting laid or starting a business. If you look like you don’t care about yourself, no one will care about you. Take care of yourself by showering, smelling good and dressing well everyday. It will not only make you feel better, you will look better. If you look and feel better, you will gain more confidence. You never know what situation you will be in throughout the day. By looking good at every moment, you prepare for what could happen throughout the day. Here are 3 things that you could do to boost your confidence.
* Dress and smell good. Go buy yourself some new clothes. If you don’t know where to start, take a look a look at lifestyle magazines like GQ or Men’s Health and for women, Cosmo and Women’s Health. Get some fresh ideas on how you want to look and try and replicate it. Smelling good also boost confidence. If you get noticed by smelling good not only does it boost your moral, it boosts your confidence as well. Men and women equally love compliments, so give them, but not too often! (you would just sound insincere if you keep doing it)
* Get a haircut. Try something new. Sometimes we forget that we have had the same hairstyle for so long. Look at a magazines and see what could work for you. See if your barber or a salon can replicate it.
* Workout. Go hit the weights, run, walk your dog, etc. Even if its for a short time, take some time out of the day to take care of yourself.

4. Can’t pull the trigger.
You have prepared your business plan, or your ready to ask the girl/guy of your dreams out on a date, and yet, you can’t do it. You just won’t pull the trigger. Self-doubt clouds your mind and you go back to 1st reason on why you’re not starting a business or getting laid. You over think it and say it will never happen. Stay positive and pull the trigger.

5. Fear of rejection.
You fear the unknown and you won’t take a risk. You have to ask yourself, “what is the worst that could happen?” You have a 50/50 chance of the person saying yes or no. I like those chances. If you get rejected, move along and don’t take it too seriously. There are plenty of fish in the sea. With business, we fear rejection as well. You don’t want to go to the bank to ask for a loan application because you think you’re going to get denied. When you denied for job offers or a business loan you immediately discount yourself and say “maybe it’s never meant to be.” After you get rejected a couple of times, you will understand that it really isn’t that bad after all. My father always told me to try to get a “yes” answer from everything you do, and if you don’t get that answer, keep trying until you do.You have to fight the fear and face it. Get rejected, who cares! Move on, learn, and get over it.

6. You’re Lazy.
When you are lazy, nothing in life will ever get accomplished. You have focus on what you want and go after it proactively. This encompasses almost all the traits of why you’re not getting laid or starting a business. You won’t take the time and effort to go through the learning processes. You won’t start because you feel like you won’t succeed. You put things off and wait till the last minute and you wonder why you aren’t succeeding.

7. You’re a push-over.
You don’t have an opinion for yourself. You don’t say no to anyone and you are too nice. Have a voice. If you don’t agree with something, don’t say you do. If you don’t want to do something, stand ground and don’t go. Simple as that. Have a voice and people will listen. You can’t possibly make everyone happy. Do what makes you happy.
