This week, we’re getting into some more Real game! In this Lesson we’ll be exploring an important character trait that radiates raw strength. Unfortunately, it’s a character trait that some people misinterpret. Before we jump into that, a quick announcement of an upcoming lecture featuring yours truly. If you’re in the Atlanta area this coming Thursday, May 28th, please come by. It’ll be worth your time – trust me. It’s absolutely FREE to attend – The details are in the graphic below… Back to the matter at hand… I remember when I was younger, I, like most young boys, was fascinated by a few things (this was before the attraction to girls kicked into overdrive). One of these things that fascinated me were men of strength. I grew up with all the macho action movies of the 80s and 90s. Back when Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean-Claude Van Dam, James Bond and others were the thing. It was enthralling! They would swoop into dangerous situations, kick-ass, blow things up, dodge a ridiculous amount of bullets, save the day and get the girl. All while only taking a few scratches and bruises. Then you had the really cool movies where the male heroes showed intelligence, careful planning and unrivaled cunning. Such as, The Godfather Trilogy, and other gangster movies. When I hit my teenage years, being “hard” was the thing. You had to be aggressive, you had to take no crap from anyone or else you were consider a punk. When I started street Hustling, this type of aggression was very common. You had to show no signs of weakness. You had to get loud or put your hands on someone to prove yourself. I was always aggressive. Not loud or confrontational, but the way I moved myself into (and out of) positions, was aggressive. People used to have a hard time nailing down whether I was upset or just passive. I was usually neither – most of the time I was plotting. Because of the Social Conditioning I grew up with, I used to think this natural side of me was wrong because I didn't “fit-in” with everyone else. That was until I met true Hustlers in the Game. These were the Hustlers who were extremely successful. They owned multiple nice homes, cars and a couple even owned their own planes. It struck me as odd because their demeanor was very much like mine. They were polite, humble, well learnt, well spoken and only aggressive when provoked (or as a means to put themselves into certain positions). They weren't “punks” they just knew something that the other street hustlers I hung around with at the time didn't know. And what these common Hustlers didn't know was actually a weak part of their Game. Let me explain… At the highest Layer of any Game, it becomes a “sport” played by Gentlemen and Ladies. All that petty street non-sense won’t work for you. These high level Players will play you very quickly. Why? Because they understand the mentality of someone who reacts from emotions. These elite Players show very little emotion. The paradox: On the streets not showing some form of emotional aggression is looked upon as weak. While at high levels, showing too much of any emotion makes you look weak. Funny how that works, isn't it? This is one reason why the common “street hustler” stays either broke or can’t get past a certain income level. They don’t mentally transition to “move and shake” with more experienced Players. That’s like a puppy trying to wrestle with a bear. Or as we say in the Game, “If your arms are too short, you’re better off not boxing,” so stay in your lane. All of this emotional control, being “centered” and exuding “coolness”, has a term. And that term is repose. The definition of the word repose (that applies to what we’re talking about) is poise and composure. You’re almost never emotionally moved by anything. This doesn't mean you don’t have emotions (we’re human) but your emotions are kept in check. The main reason is because choices made when you’re very emotional are often terrible decisions. Like when we’re angry, we’ll say or do things we regret later. When we’re jealous we will say or do things that may drive away the very person we love. Or when you feel fear about doing something that will benefit you, but choosing to do nothing instead. When you feel emotionally off-balance it’s usually because you’re spreading your energy out around you instead of concentrating it into 1 or 2 areas. Being mentally and emotionally centered is something that can be learned, if you don’t possess it already. Some people try to fake this strong composed state by telling themselves things like, “We are all one and the same. Everyone is part of the boundless Universal Intelligence, just like me!” But then this affirmation is thrown out the window when a driver cuts you off in traffic. Then you catch yourself letting loose some choice words because you’re seriously pissed off. That’s not true repose, that’s just acting. Like I explained to you in the lesson about Your Lens On Life [HERE], you can profess something out of your mouth, but if you don’t honestly think it and feel it, it’s not really you. In other words, faking it or acting like you have repose is not going to help you. Real strength, in this day and time, is not physical or mental aggression. There were periods in history where that was necessary but now the strongest person is the one that can remain in a state of calm despite whatever is going on around them. This type of individual is able to look at events and situations from many sides and think rationally about the best course of action. Emotionally they remain unmoved because they know emotional decisions can be costly ones. This is one of many important elements that make up the peak state of the “Boss Player”. So how does a person begin to develop repose? Well it starts with learning to control the mind. And the best first step, from personal experience, is to learn to concentrate. In my book, Revealing the Secrets of the Game, I dedicate an entire chapter to a simple concentration exercise. Over time this will help you gain control over your thoughts and be able to direct the mind where you want it to go. You will learn to hold your attention on what YOU want instead of letting the mind take you where IT wants. Once a certain level of successful concentration has been reached, you can begin to check your emotional responses simply by recognizing them and “cancelling” them out. Your inner dialogue will become more powerful than your emotional reactions all because you took the time to train your greatest asset – your mind and what you choose to think about (or not to think about). Game is something that must be in you first before you manifest it outward. You must become what you want first, so you can earn what you want to have. Repose. The strong state of mental and emotional control. Where no one can move you because you’re the only person that can move you. This means that no one can influence your actions and predict what you will or won’t do. Real, true strength is calmness. Not reckless impulse or false aggression. It reminds me of some of those old gangster movies I grew up on. Until next time… Curious about the Game?

So he asked me, “What’s your Game?” I was at one of my speaking engagements and this gentleman was looking over my books and promotional items when he asked that question. It was a fair question, but surprisingly, no one had ever asked me that. “My Game,” I said, “is giving the knowledge, wisdom and understanding for self-empowerment. I want to pass on some essential tools so people can be giants in life.” You ever said something and then realized that it cleared something up for you? I love what I do. But when those words left my mouth it brought me clarity on something. Something I learned a long time ago and forgot. Knowledge is like a double-edged sword. It can cut both ways. The stronger and more potent the knowledge - the more potential of power that can come from it. The weaker and more watered-down the knowledge - the less potential of power that can come from it. I present the Uncommon Sense Audio Lessons. These Lessons are in MP3 format and they are packed with hard-hitting, no holds-barred, Game. They are raw, concentrated, unorthodox and they may hurt some people’s feelings or they may piss some people off. But the potential of power you can gain from this information is real. Time to cut through the fluff. Knowledge really is power. It automatically gives you power over those who don’t know what you do. I can’t count the number of girlfriends and lady friends that wanted me to go with them to get their cars fixed. They had little or no knowledge of cars so they feared being taken advantage of by the mechanic. But in many areas, we’re all like this. We don’t have knowledge in a particular area and people can use that to take advantage of others (if they don’t have Principles and integrity that is). Let’s not even get started about the informational maze that is the American legal system… Back to my point. What if the knowledge and information you had was able to break down, strip and disarm the average person? The potential power of your knowledge would far outweigh theirs. If fact, you would see the limits of their thinking. Who wins in this scenario the majority of the time? You would. So here are 2 very raw and very empowering Audio Lessons for you. Just to give you a taste of what I mean, check out the sample clips in the audio player below. For the Uncommon Sense Adviser subscribers, check your email. I sent out your discount code last week.

I was under pressure to convince a very successful multi-millionaire that a monetary investment in me was worth the risk. In order for that to even be a possibility he first had to look at me as a mental equal. I couldn't be a financial equal, the fact that I wasn't a multi-millionaire was evident. But I could still "level the playing field" by speaking on the level he spoke and by having a representation of what I could produce. How did I do it? With the knowledge, wisdom and understanding of the Game. Pure power. Here are the Lessons. To learn more about them, just click the buttons. The oral tradition of the Game continues. Be back at you soon…
The Blog will be back in full force next week, Wednesday November 19th!
“Life is a series of problems that must be solved.” When I first heard that statement, I was Hustling on the streets (and not very successfully). I used to hang around so-called Thugs and so-called Hustlers and so-called Macks and they all used to talk about “Game” and how they had “some”. I listened to their theories and experiences of using “Game” to get what they wanted or to manipulate someone into doing something. But when I first heard that statement above (and after it was thoroughly broken down for me) I knew right then, the Game was something deeper than petty victories and slick words. The Game is far beyond “street” mannerisms, simple con-games, manipulation and mental tricks. The Game is knowledge, wisdom and understanding about the natural order of life. This information was always meant to empower, level “playing fields” and liberate you from mental and emotional enslavement. Passed down for centuries from mouth to ear – I now pass some of this priceless information to you. Tomorrow, Thursday November 13th, come experience what many don’t want you to know – and more importantly, why they don’t want you to know it! Do you fear failing? Of course you do. Accept it or not this is a very natural human condition. In this blog post I’ll explain where it comes from and how to use it to your advantage. We’re going in deep but first let’s get a few things out the way. Let me first thank the Ladies of W.O.W. (Women of Wisdom) for allowing me to be a sponsor at their first event. The day went off fantastic and I look forward to speaking at one of your upcoming events – this one was definitely inspirational. All these women empowerment groups - Men, we need to step up our Game! Also, a quick reminder. Come out and get some knowledge of the Game, directly from me! The date is Thursday, November 13th. The time is 6 pm. I will be giving a 2 hour lecture on the Game. If you’re in the Atlanta area come on out, I would love to meet you. Check the graphic below for details. Now, onto this week’s post.

To all my readers Worldwide, welcome back! A quick announcement before we get into this week’s post. If you’re in the Atlanta are come out on November, 13th to the Medu Bookstore at Greenbriar Mall. I’ll be giving a 2 hour lecture on the Game! The Game was also meant to be passed from mouth to ear. So come out and hear the Game broken down in detail. You won’t be disappointed. Check the graphic below for details. Now, let’s chop up some Game… If you don’t know you have a problem then there is nothing to be fixed. But if you do know you have a problem then you should be looking for solutions. The knowledge of the Game here is leaps beyond almost everything else out there. That’s quite a claim now, isn't it? But it’s a claim I can easily back up. I’ll be a jumping around a little in this post, so please excuse me. But I want you to see something. For those looking for specialized knowledge, I have it for you. The Game has many “layers” or aspects. Each “layer” of the Game operates from the original Game itself but has different rules, regulations and codes of conduct. So, here’s something you won’t hear anywhere else! (1) Anything that requires a structure of power to “hold it together”, requires the Game. When there is a structure, there is the Game. It’s automatically there. At this point, it just needs to be Played. I know that just went over many people’s heads out there and that’s fine. Now, why is this true? Because the Game is about knowledge - and as the old saying goes, “Knowledge is power,” but most knowledge has tremendous power over those who don’t know what you do. All knowledge has its purpose, all knowledge can be used for “good” or “bad” (I use those terms loosely) and all knowledge has its limitations. Knowing how tune-up a car isn't going to help you much if you’re stuck in a forest and must hunt and forage to eat that day. The knowledge we have, has limitations. So this is where knowledge of the Game comes in. The Game can propel you to greatness in many areas of your life. Since the Game is knowledge, doesn't that mean it has limitations as well? Of course it does but here’s the rub on that… Again, here’s something you won’t hear anywhere else! (2) Proper understanding of the Game allows you to break-down and absorb ANY information so that it can be used for your benefit. This is powerful because it means you can overcome many limitations in your life. Not only will you be able to recognize garbage (useless) information so you don’t waste your time; but you will be able to get to the root of most information. You can discover what you need and where to start. Here’s more information you won’t hear like this, anywhere else! (3) Do you realize that every relationship is a power structure? Business relationships, parent/child relationships, student/teacher, boss/employee and even a family unit. And yes, even romantic relationships! 50 / 50 relationships won’t advance you anywhere. In order for a vehicle to go from point A to point B then to point C and so on, someone needs to drive. Someone needs to lead. Someone has to know where to turn right, where to turn left or when to keep straight. The split can be as minor as 55 / 45 but a relationship must be going somewhere, or it’s not going to advance. Most friendships “try” to be 50 / 50 and that’s all well and good. But how many friendships advance? Having fun together is great, having support is great but most friendships aren't designed for both people to advance together in life – and they’re not supposed to be. Such is the price of playing 50 / 50. When we look at many romantic relationships, you see a constant struggle for power – even if it’s subtle. Each person tries to make their opinions and views heard and demand respect for them. There is always a direct and indirect push by both sides – each person feeling that their way, is the best way. There is a war of Perspectives. While in a relationship there are certain situations where one person is going to be dominant. Maybe they have more experience or knowledge in a certain area. And this same person may be almost powerless in other situations – at this point, their partner may have to lead. The flow should go back and forth when necessary, but this isn't always the case. The struggle for “control” is there, because there is a power structure there. When there is a power structure, the Game is automatically present – at that point, it just needs to be Played. So as we say in the Game, “Play or be Played.” Some of you might say, “Isn't this a terrible way to look at life?” And my response is, “What has your current thinking and knowledge done for you? Are you honestly satisfied with your current life situation?” If you desire to live a better life, then that means you’re unsatisfied with the life you’re living now. Are you going to continue down the roads you've already traveled? Or are you going to get yourself a new road map and venture out to better places? Are you in the driver’s seat of your own vehicle? Or do you always feel like you’re a passenger in someone else’s? Peep Game. Enough rambling, I just wanted to expose many of you to the knowledge and information that has been kept away from you. Now you know it’s out there and if you want more, it’s your job to seek it. Be good to yourself. Take a few moments to enjoy life. Until next time… Curious about the Game?
