However, if you’re a bit rusty, take a look around you when you’re out because you want to be current. Make sure your curb appeal is up-to-date.

Watch other women when they’re flirting; there’s a style to that as well. It will help you get inrepparttar zone to watch some women in action. Brush up on your flirting skills. Smile. Catch his eye. Work up some friendly opening lines to have handy.

THE PLAN

You know how they say “multiple income streams”? Well, you’re going to need multiple outgoing streams. Your plan is to meet new people. The good thing about this is that you’ll collect friends and adventures, maybe even clients or a new job whatever else happens, so none of this is wasted.

Get out, attend, join and participate. Ifrepparttar 101441 doors are open, and people will be there, YOU be there. Assuming that you work, you haverepparttar 101442 noon hour, evenings and weekends.

Now here are some suggestions – and do them ALL:

·Join singles clubs and participate. ·Join and get active in a faith organization ·Go to any event open torepparttar 101443 public – chamber of commerce, fundraising, Fun Runs, political, galas. ·Joinrepparttar 101444 online dating services such as eharmony - http://tinyurl.com/2lyea ·Let your friends and family know that you’d like some introductions to nice single men they know ·Be open to possibilities when you’re out atrepparttar 101445 mall, grocery, and sporting goods store. Pay some visits Home Depot. Look like you’re lost, and if you see a cute guy, ask him about torque wrenches. ·Visit art museums, go torepparttar 101446 races and sports events. ·Join some sports places. Word has it workout gyms are not a good place to look (for either sex), but someone I know met a great guy when she was taking SCUBA diving lessons. ·Volunteer! And volunteer to do things that put you in a strategic location. My favorites are staffingrepparttar 101447 nametag table and serving as hostess or greeter. Everybody who enters must pass by me. ·Build a house with Habitat for Humanity. Mid-life guys love manual labor. ·Consider a goofy now-and-then job like doingrepparttar 101448 food demos inrepparttar 101449 grocery store on Saturday afternoon. Notwithstandingrepparttar 101450 silly “hat”, you’ll be in a prime position to look ‘em over and hook ‘em in. Or stock books in a bookstore one evening a week if you like guys who read. ·Take your dog walking in different parks, especially Saturday mornings. ·Set up a blog on an interesting topic. Get a free one here: www.blogger.com . ·Guys are physical. Go kayacking, camping out, hiking or bike riding; join a tennis league. ·Hang out at Starbucks on Saturday

So there’s your plan. Now approach it with enthusiasm and determination and remember to include all these things in your mix. Good luck!

3.Tenacity

“What if I screw things up?” you ask. Don't worry, you will! Everyone does form time to time. If I'm not throwing a wrench intorepparttar 101441 works at least once a week, I figure that something is seriously wrong!

Be tenacious! Abe Lincoln ran forrepparttar 101442 House, ran forrepparttar 101443 senate, and failed at a few other things before being elected President ofrepparttar 101444 United States. And, Babe Ruth is est known for hitting 714 home runs inrepparttar 101445 Big Leagues, however, most folks don't know that he also holdsrepparttar 101446 Major League record for striking out! The world is full of success stories involving people who refused to give up just because they failed at some point in their lives. What they all have in common, is a refusal to give up.

Learn from your mistakes, and take action to prevent them from re-occurring.

4.Boldness

Go ahead and takerepparttar 101447 plunge! Whether you decide to market your hobby, sell a product that you own, or join an affiliate program, nothing will happen until you take that leap of faith and launch your venture.

It was Martin Luther who said, “When you sin, sin boldly, but rejoice more boldly still!” In other words if you are unwilling to take a chance for fear of failure, you have already failed! Get inrepparttar 101448 game. If you fail, or make an error alongrepparttar 101449 way, learn from your errors, and before you know it, you will achieve great success.

In closing let me just say, that I have come a long way in a very short time. When I started my business on line, I didn't have a clue about how to proceed. What I did have wasrepparttar 101450 Desire, a Willingness to Learn, and I wasn't afraid make mistakes.

My Power Team Leader with SFI, Mufad, identifiedrepparttar 101451 tenacious streak in me when I wouldn't stop bugging him for information on how to proceed. I will never forget his generosity and patience in helping me. In fact, that isrepparttar 101452 final lesson that I wish to impart in this article. Be Generous with your new found knowledge. Only by helping others can you truly become successful.
