Hoofstuk 6: Word 'n mentor
Steve het 'n mate van sukses met afsprake gehad en wou sy kennis met ander deel. Hy het sy dae as treinentoesias onthou en gedink ander mense kan uit sy ervaring leer. Een aand het hy 'n uiteensetting geskep vir 'n optelkunstenaarskursus genaamd "Trein na aantrekking: 'n Reis van nul na held." Hy het opgewonde en doelgerig gevoel.
Die volgende week het Steve 'n klein groepie na sy woonstel genooi vir die eerste sessie. Onder hulle was Darren, ’n skaam man met ’n bril wat gelyk het of hy Steve se ouderdom was.
“Kom ons begin, almal,” sê Steve terwyl hy voor die groep staan. "Ons is hier omdat ons beter wil wees met vroue, reg?"
Die groep het ingestem.
“Die eerste stap is om jou ingesteldheid te verander,” het Steve verduidelik. "Jy moet in jouself glo en selfversekerd wees wanneer jy met vroue praat."
"Hoe kan ons dit doen?" vra Darren senuweeagtig.
"Oefen en ervaar, Darren. Hoe meer jy probeer, hoe meer selfversekerd sal jy word."
Steve het 'n uur lank gesels oor tegnieke wat hy geleer het. Hy het openers, negering en lyftaal bespreek en vrywilligers gebruik om te demonstreer.
Aan die einde het Steve gevra of iemand vrae het.
"Wat as 'n vrou nie belangstel nie?" vra Rob.
“Groot vraag,” antwoord Steve. "Nie almal sal belangstel nie, en dit is goed. Leer uit elke interaksie en gaan voort."
Die groep het gelukkig gelyk met Steve se reaksie.
Toe hulle weg is, het Darren met Steve gepraat. "Dankie hiervoor, Steve. Ek het nog altyd met selfvertroue gesukkel. Dit kan my help."
Steve glimlag. "Jy is welkom, maat. Onthou, dit is 'n reis, en ons is almal saam hierin."
Darren is saam met die ander weg, en Steve het trots gevoel. Hy was opgewonde om te sien hoe sy studente sou vorder.
Chapter 6: Becoming a Mentor
Steve had some success in dating and wanted to share his knowledge with others. He remembered his days as a train enthusiast and thought other people could learn from his experience. One night, he created an outline for a pick-up artist course called "Train to Attraction: A Journey from Zero to Hero." He felt excited and purposeful.
The next week, Steve invited a small group to his flat for the first session. Among them was Darren, a shy man with glasses who seemed to be Steve's age.
"Let's start, everyone," Steve said, standing in front of the group. "We're here because we want to be better with women, right?"
The group agreed.
"The first step is changing your mindset," Steve explained. "You need to believe in yourself and be confident when talking to women."
"How can we do that?" Darren asked nervously.
"Practice and experience, Darren. The more you try, the more confident you'll become."
Steve spent an hour talking about techniques he had learned. He discussed openers, negging, and body language, using volunteers to demonstrate.
At the end, Steve asked if anyone had questions.
"What if a woman isn't interested?" Rob asked.
"Great question," Steve answered. "Not everyone will be interested, and that's fine. Learn from each interaction and keep going."
The group seemed happy with Steve's response.
As they left, Darren spoke to Steve. "Thanks for this, Steve. I've always struggled with confidence. This could help me."
Steve smiled. "You're welcome, mate. Remember, it's a journey, and we're all in this together."
Darren left with the others, and Steve felt proud. He was excited to see how his students would progress.
