Ok, what had happened was… the new logo was completed over the weekend… so, I’ve been updating promotional pieces with it. I have new business cards in the works and I learned some SEO (search engine optimization) tricks in a meeting I had this past Saturday morning.
 
SEO! Yes, I’m about that. This led me to doing some behind-the-scenes work with the website. You know me, I like to experiment with new information if it makes sense.
 
Big thanks to CEO/Founder Ires Alliston of, The Alliston Group, for the Game. Much appreciated! This woman knows her stuff.
 
Next, I’ve still been making minor tweaks to the website and updating some graphical elements. Also I started to prepare new graphic pieces for the near future.
 
Then the usual… answering emails, making connections, measuring progress and ending up in spur-of-the-moment consultations.
 
Its weeks like this it would be nice to have another set of hands around here.
 
Finally, I have an online class to get ready for. The class is this weekend so final preparations have to be made. This is a Ladies only “Game Class”. I’ll be teaching about the psychology of the male mind. And the huge difference between how a MALE approaches life, love and relationships – versus how a MAN does.
 
The Game is brutal honesty --- this class is not for the faint of heart.

I had a couple Ladies punk-out on me so I’m making seats available to the general public. If you’re a Lady interested in understanding the male (and man) mind, along with some dating and relationship tips, then email me at: wjamesdennis@gmail.com to claim your spot in the class.
 
This Ladies Game Class is FREE and will be done over Skype this Sunday, June 26th @ 6pm EST. It will last at least 2-hours. During the class you'll be able to ask me any questions you want on the topic. I give you my word you'll get real, honest, straight-forward answers.

Don't worry Gentleman, I'll be running a FREE class for you in the near future. Uncommon Sense Adviser Subscribers will get the first round of invites. To get a jump-start why not dig into, The Mack's Bible? Everyone already has a copy, except you!
 
Now that I’ve run down what I’ve been doing over the last week… I wasn’t able to squeeze in extra time to get a proper blog post ready for you. But, fear not!
 
The Blog will return Wednesday, July 6th 2016 with a new Advanced Game podcast.
 
We’ll be exploring the hidden mysteries of the fabled, “Game God”. Is there such a thing? Where did that concept come from? And IF there is such a thing, can “IT” assist you with your Game? It’s a deep subject.
 
See you in a couple weeks! In the meanwhile, stay in motion.

​Changes are coming! I’ve been grinding diligently to prepare for my next business phase.
 
If you’re viewing this on a computer (or tablet) you’ve probably noticed the updated look for the website. It still needs some adjustments but, the overall look is sleeker and more modern. I hope you like it.
 
Also in the works is a new logo to better represent my brand. Big thanks to Mr. B. Lewis for being willing to help in that area! Visual design is not one of my strengths.
 
For those who’ve been following along for the last few months, you know I’ve been doing a 30-month experiment on organic reach. This started back in 2014 a couple of months after the launch of this website.
 
What is organic reach? Very simply, that is driving traffic to your website without paying for it. And I even crippled myself further by limiting my social media exposure. I usually only post when I put up a new blog, a new podcast or I have an announcement.
 
I also didn’t use YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and no live video of any kind. These are most tools that internet marketers swear by. Has this hurt the overall growth of my brand? Absolutely! And that was the point – I wanted to know how far I could push this using as few tools as possible.
 
Around 90% of my website growth has come from word-of-mouth and careful use of search engine optimization. The numbers have far exceeded what I thought would be possible. The website is currently averaging over 5,000 page views per month and over 1,200 unique visitors per month. And it continues to grow.

​What’s the biggest factor to this growth? Content filled with quality information. Pure and simple. Making sure every book, every Audio Lesson, every blog post and every podcast lives up to a certain standard. Admittedly, I do need a lot of improvement with my editing skills… but that’s another topic…
 
So what does this all mean? Well, glad you asked.
 
This means that I can now teach, in detail, about organic reach. I have personal experience doing it. Organic reach is the wave of the future. Soon (according to the rumor mill) social media sites will begin to charge for targeted advertising. Facebook already does and other social media sites are following suit.
 
And what does that mean? That means I have a system developed that bypasses all of that. In the future I’ll be able to give that system to clients who need to start with limited money to invest.
 
So, here’s some Game about all of this (you know I can’t resist going there). Being on the internet is very similar to Hustling out on the streets.
 
(1)  You must have a clear idea of what you want your final outcome to be. For long-term goals don’t get too attached though, things change.
(2) Before you step foot in a Game, get your facts together. Research what you’re going to be doing. But don’t get stuck in research mode! You’ll research so much that you’ll never get started.
(3) You have to have quality (or comparable quality) products and/or services. Set a fair price depending on the market (and depending on your Game…)
(4) You have to be consistent.
(5) Value the people who trust in you to deliver. And you actually have to deliver!
(6) Get your name out there and make sure there’s respek (respect) on your name (thank you, Birdman?)
(7) You must study the market, get yourself in the market and then open it up.
(8) Understand The Game of what you’re doing – know what makes things work “behind the scenes”. And more importantly why they work.
(9) Protect your territory. Or in this case, your brand identity.
(10) Be consistent.
(11) Dodge all haters and still go get yours (even when those haters are the closest ones to you).
(12) Stay in motion despite all inner doubts, fears and worries. You can play yourself right out of a Game faster than anyone (or anything) else.
(13) Accept all set-backs and failures. These are actually learning experiences, so learn from them.
(14) The world doesn’t wait for you. You must be able to adapt and adjust.
(15) Did I mention be consistent?

You have to stay in motion even when you’re tired and when you don’t feel like it. You have to push when you’re sad; when things seem bleak; when you get that constant voice in your head saying, “Now, why do we keep doing this again?”
 
It’s almost a daily inner fight. What part of you is going to win? What do you choose as your dominant frame of mind? Are you going to fold (give up) or function (keep moving)?
 
If you don’t put anything down, you can’t pick anything up. That’s just cause and effect. If you constantly produce causes, you have to get an effect. There’s no other way it can be.
 
These are some of the same ways I moved when I was participating in less… generally accepted activities… and these are some of the same ways I continue to move.
 
The basic foundation of The Game doesn’t change. It’s the natural order of things. The knowledge, wisdom and understanding only needs to be adjusted and applied differently depending on what “layer” you’re playing.
 
Over the next few months you’ll be seeing little changes here and there as I continue tweaking and adjusting.
 
To all my Hustlers (entrepreneurs) out there, stay in motion and keep it simple in the process.
 
To everyone, your continued support is greatly appreciated! You’re helping turn a few ideas into a reality.
 
See you next week...

Story time again! So, what makes a Hustler? Travel with me as I relate stories of moments that changed my life. This story in particular because I almost lost my life.
 
(In the spirit of being honest, I had to alter some of the story’s events. Everything did happen, but I had to omit some details out of respect for a particular individual – street code, you know…)
 
This is a long one so settle in. It’s good though, I promise. Click “Read More” to continue…

​Let’s take a dip into the pool of male and female psychology. I have to speak in generalities but I think you’ll get the message just the same.
 
A huge buzzword when it comes to romantic involvement is ATTRACTION. Some people might call it “chemistry”. Everyone wants to “feel” it, everyone tries to find it and everyone knows its necessary; yet, it’s something that’s often not clearly defined.
 
Taking attraction out of the realm of sentiment and mood, let’s just look at the dictionary definition:
- noun

• (1) the act, power, or property of attracting.
• (2) attractive quality; magnetic charm; fascination; allurement; enticement
• (3) a person or thing that draws, attracts, allures, or entices
• (4) a characteristic or quality that provides pleasure; attractive feature

 
Reading through this you should see a common thread – a common denominator. What’s the common denominator to attraction? Selfishness. Yes, I used the S-word.
 
We find ourselves attracted to things that entice us, fascinate us, find alluring and something that can bring us pleasure. These are all selfish qualities. What you find attractive may not be attractive to me and vice-versa. It’s all Perspective and therefore, subjective.
 
So, how does knowing this relate to men and women? Simple. A person’s favorite subject is themselves. This trait is stronger in the average female than it is in the average male but, it’s there none-the-less.
 
Please, don’t take my word for it; think about it for a moment. Speaking only about women, have you ever REALLY paid attention to how women talk to each other? When two or more women are talking, it doesn’t matter what the subject is, they always relate it back to themselves – what they think or feel about the subject or their personal experiences.
 
When men (or males) communicate, what do they do? They take a topic and give their viewpoint; their thoughts - usually more rational and with less emotion involved. Even if it’s something they’re not interested in.
 
People (in general) have a natural need to be heard – it’s part of human nature.
 
A female has a stronger drive to express her thoughts and feelings verbally, while a male has a stronger drive to express himself through action. 2 females could talk for hours while 2 males could be content sitting in front a television and watching a sports game – with huge moments of silence in-between remarks and conversation.
 
When you’re trying to build attraction (yes, attraction can be “manufactured”), the most effective way to do it is to play into the selfish nature of it.
 
What do I mean? For the average male, trying to “catch a woman” is like attempting to catch a deer. If you chase her, she’s usually going to run, duck or dodge out the way. She knows the male wants something – and this leaves no room for her. The male is cutting-out her favorite subject; herself.
 
If you want to charm a woman, you need to get the woman comfortable enough to talk about herself. This means you have to be comfortable talking about yourself. You share something about you, then she shares something about her; it’s like a dance. And again, I’m just speaking in general.
 
For the average female, trying to gain the attention of a male is like one of those dreams when you’re trying to yell, but no sound comes out. The average male is very slow at picking up on “hints”, innuendo, subtle flirts and subtle body language. The subtle approach is usually not the best approach. He can be completely oblivious.
 
Also being too aggressive as a woman can completely short-circuit the average male’s “brain”. Although he loves the attention (and the ego boost) he’s rarely dealt with anything like that before so he doesn’t know how to react. Whether subtle or direct, the female is cutting-out a male’s favorite subject; himself. There’s not much room for him. He just has to react to what the woman is doing, and try to maintain his “coolness” in the process.

​So how do we remedy all of this mis-communication and possible confusion? It’s simple really. Lack of communication is the cause of most problems. So talking is vitally important. But we don’t just want to have idle chatter – we want to capture the attention of the opposite sex! How do we do that?
 
We get the person very comfortable with talking about themselves, i.e. talking about their favorite subject. And then you want to really listen and pay attention. You also want to ask the right kinds of questions to “draw them out”.
 
And what are we listening for? When a person is extremely comfortable talking about themselves, they’ll reveal what’s attractive to them. Then it’s just a matter of… are those things reasonable to you or not?
 
When we meet someone physically pleasing to our eye, we continue searching to see if they can fulfill other needs and desires we have (well… most times). Attraction starts out selfish. It may not remain that way, but that’s the way it begins.
 
For those of you in the dating world right now, you know how fragile attraction can be. Things can start out great, then you hear a few things you don’t like (or see some things you don’t like), then you find yourself losing attraction – or as we call it – getting turned-off.
 
And this works the opposite way as well. You may think everything is going good, then suddenly you start feeling the other person backing-off. What just happened? They lost attraction for you; either from some things you did or some things you said; or some things you didn’t do or didn’t say. It’s can be frustrating, am I right?
 
Unfortunately the 2 people involved NEVER actually talk about what’s turning them off. It’s almost as bad as 2 people not directly saying what’s turning them on. The guessing games continue; all because either party doesn't honestly communicate and address the issue(s). It’s a problem that won’t get solved.
 
I’m not here to offer you dating advice but, I did want to share a Perspective on making things possibly run a little smoother. Now that you understand we’re all “bad and selfish” individuals (honestly, some people feel guilty about these traits, so don’t take this too seriously) – hopefully you can come to grips with: YOU want what you want – but so does the other person.
 
If you can accept that, then the only question is: Are they worth trying to communicate with to solve the problem?
 
(Did I just hear you answer, “If I just met them, probably not!”? Well, that’s just so selfish of you to say…)
