Your coach,
Adam

Summary –

1. Quitting is not always a failure

… usually it’s a stepping stone to something much, much bigger.

I’ll never forget the day that I was done working for a startup software company. I was on a business trip to visit one of our biggest new clients and I was with the CEO of the company. The CEO decides to go into the meeting and lie to the client. He tells him things that were complete BS. After the meeting I sat down with my CEO and told him I was done. It was at that moment that I set my trajectory to becoming a professional speaker and a dating coach. Sounds a little crazy, but it’s true.

2. Don’t be entitled to success

Add value first, prove yourself, and good things will come.

We live in a time when everyone wants to be the next big thing, but no one wants to work for it. You’ve got to get off your ass and do something… whether it’s finding love, getting that healthy relationship you want, finding that job you absolutely love, or getting into shape. Whatever it is, it won’t just come to you. You need to get off your butt and go make it happen.

I remember before I got my first paid speaking engagement… I gave over 30 speeches across Massachusetts just get enough video to create my submission video for the paid gig.

You’ve got to give value before you get value.

3. You’re going to suck at anything the first time you do it

My first paid speaking engagement was for 500 bucks at a high school. It was more than I’d ever gotten before, so I was pumped. I gave the speech and thought it was pretty good. After the speech I got a call to go into the principal’s office. He told me that it was the most inappropriate speech that he’d ever heard and that I was not the type of person that should be speaking at high schools. He proceeded to say that I was inappropriately dressed and should really give up on my career.

4. Find your support system and mentors

There’s really only been a handful of people who have stood by my side over the past few years as I’ve put Sexy Confidence together… my mom, my dad, my brother (who has mentored me and supported me every step of the way) and as of recent years my girlfriend, Jessica.

The reality is, anytime you’re doing something big in your life most people are going to make fun of you, or are not going to understand what it is that you’re doing. They may even distance themselves stay, but that’s okay. Don’t waste your time explaining what you’re trying to do, just move on and do it. If they make fun of you, then leave them. Let them enjoy their lame lives while you go off and do something a little bit crazy and amazing.

5. Destroy your comfort zone

If you’re doing something really big in this world, you’re not only going to be stretching your comfort zone… you’ll be absolutely demolishing it! No one knows how many times I’ve been so nervous before a video, speech, event etc. For example, when I was coaching men and had to approach random women in front of a guy I was coaching. These are the things that absolutely destroy your comfort zone. This is true for anyone who does anything significant in their lives. They’re going to have to leave their comfort zone and do something really, really big.

6. Don’t be afraid to shift courses even if you’re getting successful

I remember when I was coaching men and my business was absolutely blowing up. I had a ton of coaching clients and some guys paying me over 10 thousand dollars to work with them. But I didn’t see a future in it.

I realized that I didn’t want to be spend the rest of my life teaching guys how to go out and meet women. I wanted to have my own healthy relationship and not be subjected to go out and coach every single weekend. So I decided to shift course… and that’s when I decided that I was going to really dive into coaching women. I would take all the knowledge that I had accrued over the years and help women be able to meet men and find love. That’s really when I started to dive into Sexy Confidence.

7. If you shift directions you’re probably going to start sucking again

Don’t quit! When I started Sexy Confidence I left this amazing business I had created for coaching men, and decided I would start all over again by coaching women. At first I was a little cocky… I thought this was going to be an easy process, but ultimately I was starting over.

I was starting with a whole new gender, women. Trying to understand exactly what it is they wanted to learn about and what it is they wanted to hear about was a whole new process. I’ve got to admit, when I first started creating videos for women I sucked. Things didn’t exactly go viral. I even got to a point where I had to downgrade my life. I had to downsize everything because I had sunk so much into this new process. Thankfully, I always had the vision of what I was trying to create. So, I kept moving forward in order to make it happen.

8. Listen to feedback

The only way to succeed at anything in life is to know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you know nothing. Listen to the people that you serve. If you’re in a relationship, listen to your partner. If you’re trying to lose weight, listen to your trainer. If you’re trying to start a business, listen to your customers. Don’t give them what you think they should have, but what they want to have. Read the comments, listen to complaints, learn your weaknesses and improve on them.

9. Stay committed to your vision

As things with Sexy Confidence started to ramp up, I got over 8 television inquiries to be a host and many other opportunities to stray away from my vision. I looked at all of those offers as being total distractions. I stayed consistent and continued to build Sexy Confidence into what it is today, and I will continue to build Sexy Confidence into the vision I see it for tomorrow.

10. Never assume that success will make you happy… it’s the journey

When I look back, the most fun and exciting days were creating stupid videos back in my shitty apartment with nothing but a vision. Or getting on stage in front of thousands of people while being absolutely terrified because I had no idea what I was doing. Those were the fun days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still having fun today… but those were so exciting.

What I caution everyone to do while you’re trying to build something great and trying to succeed, is to enjoy the moment. Enjoy every single step along the way, because once you arrive at success it’s not going to always be as sweet as you think. It’s all about the journey.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who has continued to support Sexy Confidence over the past few years. I’m going to continue to serve you, and continue to make Sexy Confidence the highest quality platform in the world for women who want to create a love life they absolutely love!

In return, I need you to take one step towards success in an area of your life. Whether it’s dating, relationships, health, wealth… whatever it is, step outside of your comfort zone and do something really big with your life! If I can create Sexy Confidence then you can do whatever it is you want in your life.

You’re the rare type of person who believes in self development. The type of person who believes that you can do anything, and that’s why you’re here. Not many people will take the time out of their day to learn something new… so now is the time to find that thing that really excites you and go make it happen! I’ll be here every single step of the way to support and guide you. This journey has been incredible and it is only just beginning!

Congratulations, Adam, and thank you! I’ve learned so much from you. My wish is to become truly confident in every area of my life but especially as a woman, in my sexuality. What I want to get is a great relationship with a man, with mutual love, respect, support and sexual attraction.

Adam you are in general … A great life coach! Thanks! I’ve been watching your clips since you started coaching women. It’s helped me be more outgoing in my life and has given me tools to strike up conversations with people and to be more socialble. So the thing that I’m going to go for this year is to be the women’s leadership development cochair/or a prominent role in the committee for the company I work for. I am already a member of the committee but I want to really implement programs that will hopefully make a lasting difference! I… Read more »

Hey Adam, thanks for your words of encouragement and wisdom! It is apparent from your videos and seminars that you truly care about people and want the best for their lives and relationships! I appreciate your posts and see a tremendous amount of value in them, to help navigate the treacherous watchers of dating in the digital age. I do also think that there’s an element of fate, faith, hope and trust when it comes to meeting your true match and a lot of it is timing. I see an abundance of self sabotaging behavior in the dating world that… Read more »

I have been a wellness buff for the past 40 years. I loved knowing and trying out new foods and remedies even before it was the thing people gravitated to. My purpose is wellness. My path is wellness. I started a blog on Facebook talking and sharing health tips to my own struggles to be healthy. Sometimes when there are set backs you feel it is the end of the road but it is not it is setting you up for the next step. I guess the more I am out of my comfort zone the more I grow.

This is wonderful advice! I am trying something way outside of what might be considered normal – animal communication / and I stopped doing it because I wasn’t getting the feedback I needed. Your video has promoted me to keep trying, keep going! Thank you!

Dear Adam I have followed all of your videos from very beginning. I am 52 years old. I never been in love so I knew I had to start over from scratch. I was a store manager and had no time for dating. So I quit my job and started over. I took a new job and had to become poor so I could find the time needed to begin again. I never missed a video from you and paid close attention to your lessons you gave. I am happy to announce that as of this week my boyfriend and… Read more »

Hi Adam, It is interesting that I am watching this video exactly at a time in my life where things are coming to a/n change/end. I have finally let go of another unhappy relationship in my life and right now I am standing up for myself as things have escalated at work, too. I know this is going to push me to the next level where there are new things waiting I can learn from. I totally agree with you not giving up, getting out of the comfort zone…. you sound like me ….. I give also advice to people… Read more »

I can also give recommendations on how to optimize just the same business. This is extremely important and many do not even know how to do it. It is just necessary to study the scope of business solutions. For example, I am already actively integrating Salesforce solutions. Therefore, I can tell those who are also interested in this, that it is necessary to study the details of salesforce customization and then begin to solve these difficult problems in some way. Fortunately, it helped me to find this data. Now I am actively integrating this business solution into our workflow.

Why is outsourcing an integral part of your business? Resources this company will learn about new opportunities for your company. They are a global SaaS customer service company and can find the most effective solutions to improve such things as customer satisfaction, turnaround time and first call resolution. I hope that professional 24/7 support can turn any business from good to great. That’s why I only take employees for my center from there, in my experience they are the most qualified and know how to communicate with customers.

Hello the people who work, You’ve ever heard of sla significance? SLA is part of every deal with IT providers. In one paper, it consolidates information on offered facilities and consumer preferences. The same view and understanding of the points mentioned in the agreement is essential for all parties. Furthermore, all sides shall be held responsible for violations of these laws. You should also know the so-called service level agreement is needed for services firms. This https://wow24-7.io/blog/what-is-sla-service-level-agreements-and-their-role-in-business attempts to monitor consumer needs and identifies situations in which customers are not responsible for interruptions or lacunes in the work of the retailer.

Thank you very much for this article. I tried to use all what you’d recommended to achieve success. But unfortunately I failed. I know that there is something deep inside me that hinders me. So I made up my mind to find a job abroad and start everything from scratch. Please wish me luck. I really hate it when girls expect money from me. But seems there is no other way round.

It’s great that such a business turned out to be an amazing solution for you, and I’ve tried getting into that field as well, but for me, it wasn’t a pleasing experience at all. But it helped me understand a lot, and now I’m into investing, it’s a great option for me. Of course, it took me some time to find the best platform for analysis and with all the necessary investment tools. Do you know How much does Ycharts pricing cost? Find out here, and I’m glad that I managed to find a great alternative with better features and… Read more »

Have you thought about trying your hand at investing? Now there is Bloomberg or stock market data platform alternatives which can also be used for market analysis. It seems to me that the best option is Koyfin. It’s great that there are all the necessary tools for analysis, but at the same time the price for a subscription is much lower than in Bloomberg. Personally, trading has helped me improve my financial condition.

In my company, the use of time tracker for Mac was a significant step towards increasing productivity. To be honest, I have no idea how we worked without it, because it is a great solution to keep track of the activity of all employees. There are a lot of great options out there right now, so check out the top trackers to find the one that suits you best.
