    What do you believe are the most fundamental skills to learn?

    Is there any resource in particular you'd recommend for speed reading? Tim Ferris has a technique that I found quite helpful (he lops off a couple of centimetres at the beginning and end of the sentence and it doesn't limit comprehension) but interested to know if you think there are better ones...

    What do you believe are the most fundamental skills to learn?

    I worked with a high net worth client - humble beginnings. Bearing in mind I see between 10-20 very wealthy clients I learned from their mistakes and ultimately found each of them to be inspiring in their own ways - not one bad client experience which ultimately triggered my own desire to do my...

    I'm not convinced by hypnosis to be honest. I remember a guest interviewed by Tim Ferriss (yes, I know - 4 hour work week is BS etc.) but he is a hotshot in investment (can't remember his name). He said he tried hypnosis with the best hypnotist in NYC (I'm not in NYC but like him I went to the...

    Thank you for this - some of the comments have been super helpful; others less so. Can I ask how effective you found NLP? I've tried hypnotherapy (the best one where I live - it didn't work for me unfortunately and apparently some people are un-hypnotisable!) but I am curious about NLP and want...

    As I've said in my reply to Siberia: I'm at that stage where I feel I have given it my best shot and there is nothing more to be done but wanted to reach out to this thread on the applicability, if any, of FL principles to this area (hence title of this thread). I'm not naive: I am 40 and I...

    The video is over 1 hour long so no I didn't watch all of it. But I cannot relate to the caller: she had long-distance relationships, some men were apparently not smart enough for her, she dated someone to whom religion was important and therefore they were fundamentally incompatible. I get that...

    Nope - definitely not desperate; it goes back to what I've said before: it's trying to determine application of FS principles to this area and hopefully with the help of you all, try to figure out where I've gone wrong. I have been proposed to before and said no. Unfortunately, the guy I thought...

    Really liked that - I got into JP (as it were!) a while back. I'm familiar with the theory that he discusses although I understood it slightly differently when I heard it a few years ago and not relating solely to 'difficulties in childbirth'. I understood it to mean 'A is attracted to B because...

    Interesting. She is a well-known coach and she herself was struggling to find love in her 40s. She wrote and published a well-known book about it. I was 36 when I started the coaching. Her take on it wasn't the love version of ''do what you love'' that gets lampooned here but more along the...

    Thank you for taking the time to apply. I don't know how to answer your first question - I have said above the exercise the coach told me to do so that is the qualities The One for me has to possess. In terms of giving value to others: first and foremost, I am a good person. I have, like many...

    What a great post! I really enjoyed reading that and this is exactly the conversation I was hoping to start. In terms of what I want from a partner - this is what that Law of Attraction coach did with me - I had to do an exercise every day for 49 days. At the end of it (or the penultimate...

    Yep - am dating "within my league" and funnily enough I am surrounded by CEO's & hedgies/PE guys - a couple have expressed an interest in me too and I was reassured that of those that I know and are married, a lot a married to 'normal' women (doctors/lawyers/average looking women with their own...

    Yep agree re: what does the market want - see reply to MidWest Landlord. Read the books, implemented the actions in books including one book entitled "3 step fail safe method" - failed for me. As I have listed above, I've tried everything and still single...oh and asked friends to set me up as well!

    Good advice - have implemented it to the best of my ability: 1. Pat Allen (Getting to I do") says: look nice, smell nice, be nice. Plus 5 second flirting technique. Implemented that. I'm very feminine (dresses, long hair etc.) 2. The whole dinner pressure - I'm relaxed: if he suggested drinks...

    Thanks Siberia - I am starting to get at that stage myself. I have tried everything I can think of: online dating, different hobbies, meet ups etc. but without success.

    I'm definitely at that stage now; I've tried everything I can think of: online dating, agencies, meet up groups, snowboarding/rock climbing etc. As I was heading back from the gym today it occurred to me that I may as well do one last post to all the community out there to see what I might have...

    I think you guys are being unnecessarily harsh - I get it: it's the no BS Fastlane Forum but to me Late Bloomer is processing some stuff and being the richest person in the graveyard is in no-one's interest. @LateBloomer I wonder if you ought to get some therapy to deal with your own medical...
