112: Become a High Paid Expert 7 Steps

One thing many of us take for granted is the smell of our breath. It’s right under your nose, so you can’t notice what’s going on. You’re too used to it. Even though you can’t smell it, everyone else can. It could be costing you in your personal and business life. Think about it, do you want to be in a close negotiation with someone who smells? Do you want to kiss someone who smells?  It can make you worried that there’s something worse going on in there. Luckily, this is a pretty simple thing to fix. The first thing is, if you smoke - stop. Your breath is always going to smell horrible to anyone who isn’t a smoker themselves. Secondly, most of the bad smell in someone’s mouth comes from bacteria growing. This bacteria isn’t too difficult to get rid of, but you have to remain dedicated.  I’m going to give you ten tricks on how to eliminate bad breath that won’t take more time in your day: and are super effective. Download this episode today to learn how you can stop being offensive with your breath and be someone people want to be close to. 10 Tips to Eliminate Bad Breath:  Drink water Chew gum Brush your teeth properly Use a tongue scraper Floss Mouthwash Timing Diet Keep your gums healthy Don’t smoke  Highlights:  Bacteria is what emits most odor Drinking water will help eliminate the bacteria. Start your day by drinking water. Saliva production slows when you are sleeping. A sugarless gum will help you produce more saliva. Chewing gum can also help when you don’t have time to brush your teeth. If you swallow gum, it’s fine. Your tongue has the most surface area. Flossing isn’t as important, but food stuck in your teeth can cause bad smells. Mouthwash may not prevent cavities, but it does kill bacteria and freshen your breath. Do your teeth maintenance after meals. Certain foods can cause a smell through your lungs. Cinnamon and crisp fruits/vegetables can help as well. Red wine can also cut back on bacteria in the mouth. Talk to your dentist about your gums. Gums can permanently recede. Tobacco guarantees bad breath - cut it out if you can. In none of this works, talk to you doctor in case there’s something worse.  Mindset Takeaway: You don’t want people to avoid you because of your breathe.

View the full show notes and resources at RealMenRealStyle.com/109  When is the last time you really thought about the eye contact that you’re giving to people? Chances are, you’re sending off signals you don’t want to. For example, if you don’t give people enough eye contact you can seem rude. You also make the person feel as if they are boring, and that you aren’t interested - even if that’s not the case. On the other hand, if you give them too much eye contact it can seem aggressive. They may become intimidated, and quite frankly, think you’re being an ass. So what is the right amount of eye contact? Well, it’s honestly a complicated answer. It can change with the culture you are in, as well as the situation. A good rule of thumb here in North America, though, is the 50/70 rule. When speaking, make eye contact 50% of the time. When listening, make eye contact 70% of the time. I really wanted to dive further into this topic and go over all the complexities of the discussion. I came up with guideline of 10 Eye Contact Mistakes I commonly see people making, and I’m going to share them all with you in detail on this episode.

When speaking, look at the person 50% of the time. When listening, look at the person 70% of the time.   Eye contact rules are different all over the world. Sometimes eye contact is seen as aggressive. Learn the cultural rules of where you are visiting, and the people you deal with. Most guys think a girl who makes eye contact with them, want them. Not giving enough contact can make you seem weak. Don’t let your eyes dart away. To avoid nervous eye contact, count in your head. 3 to 5 seconds in the best amount of time to look at someone when you meet them. Don’t stare at people’s feet or looking away. Eye contact show that you are paying attention. If you’re not listening with your eyes, it can be disrespectful. Don’t get caught staring off. Pick one eye to look at. Try to discover what color their eyes really are. Do not stare at a woman’s breasts when you are speaking to her. You have to practice giving eye contact. Record yourself giving presentations or talking to people. Nothing feels natural at first.  Mindset Takeaway: Your eye contact can make or break what people think of you.

86: 10 Items to Own Multiples Of

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode87 We’ve all had some successes in our life, but chances are there’s a lot more you want. If you’re not quite where you want to be, chances are you’re acting like an average person in a few areas of your life. To get the success you want, you need to stand out from the crowd. You really need to set yourself apart and become an amazing person. Believe it or not, it’s not that hard to do. By changing your mindset in some key areas you’ll notice some big differences. For example, you probably try to get as many things done in a day as you can. That’s going to be a downfall, because you’re going to end up doing everything sub par. Instead focus on a few important thing each day. Really put everything into it, and make it something you are proud of. It’s far better to make a few great things than to make a lot of crappy things. On this episode of Real Men Real Style, Antonio looks into what makes someone average and what makes someone amazing. Download this episode today to learn how you can start changing yourself to become the person you want, and achieve the success you deserve. 10 Tips to Go from Average to Amazing:  Focus on quality, not quantity. Be effective, not efficient. Be consistent in completion. Listen to what is not said. Take the initiative. Seek experience. Be prepared. Be honest. Accept responsibility. Train yourself to delay gratification.  Highlights:  You’ve probably had some success, but feel there’s still a ways to go. In most things, most of us are average. Don’t try to do as much as you can, hone in on a few things. Focus on the 20% that will yield you 80%. Learn to prioritize, and complete things on time. Listen to someone and repeat back what they said they know you are listening. Think about what’s not being said, and seek to understand. Don’t wait for someone to ask you to do something. Having an education isn’t the same as having actual experience. Be prepared for events, don’t react to events. Opportunities favor the prepared and the bold. Small lies build up. Being honest is the best policy. You have control over most things. Blaming others means you give up hope. Instant gratification can have negative long term effects.  Mindset Takeaway: Boost your success by going from an average person to an amazing person with just a few simple shifts of your mindset. Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode87

19: Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! The first thing women notice

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode36 Most people subconsciously define their success and fulfillment by what other people think of them. They think that they need to achieve certain social norms in lifestyle or success in order to achieve validation from other people, and thereby be happy. But the truth is that achieving happiness in life is different for everyone, and it is far more important for you to understand what it means for you and then go after that, than to spend all your time working towards somebody else’s version of a happy and fulfilled life! But it’s not always easy. We are wired and conditioned to seek approval from others, and to even be paranoid about what others might think of us. In order to be able to really focus on what makes use happy, we need to get beyond all of that, understand that most people hardly care at all for anyone but themselves, and move on with building the best life possible! And that is what this episode is all about. It is about how to truly stop giving a damn about what other people think about you. Because once you can do that, you can start to define and then build the exact life that will bring you personally the most happiness. Key Takeaways:  Too much focus on what other people will think can be completely paralyzing The side of our brain that worries about what others will think tends to be completely paranoid Understand that you have to keep the side of your brain that is trying to make sense of social interactions in check Most importantly, remember that most people don’t care about you as much as you probably think Understanding that people are not thinking about you at all until you are in direct interaction will free you up to behave in a way that is truly and authentically you When you compare yourself with others, you will always think you are less than them, because they only choose to show the best of themselves. You never see under the hood So focus on yourself, and work to continually improve on who you were a year ago, a month ago, a week ago, or even yesterday Define your own happiness, outside of any other expectations or social norms, and be as specific as possible with it  Mindset Takeaway: Remember that what is more important than anything is your ability to achieve what makes you really happy. So don’t worry about the social norms or what is expected of you, and instead focus exclusively on what will bring you personally the most happiness.

And most importantly, how do you put systems in place in your life to make it easier for you to quickly and easily look your best, and make the best impression possible? This episode touches on a lot of things that have to do with grooming, and there are many lifestyle factors that need to be considered. For instance, have you made cleanliness a habit? You really should. Have you ever noticed how constantly animals are grooming themselves? Sometimes, it seems like they put even more value on cleanliness than humans do! There are so many reasons to make sure you are consistently clean, and like much of what I speak about, it’s a habit you need to put in place. How are you choosing your scents? Do you let others influence your decision? If you do, you probably find down the road that you aren’t wearing the fragrance very much. This is because you never loved it to begin with! You need to prioritize your own preferences when it comes to scent, so that you really want to continually wear it, and it can have the desired effect on others! That just scratches the surface of what we’re digging into on this episode. If you want to know how to take your grooming to the next level to make the best impression possible, then take notes and listen up to this episode of The Personal Image System Podcast!Key Takeaways: <ul> <li>In the world today, taking care of yourself has somehow become perceived as feminine</li> <li>Biologically, the your end-goal is to reproduce</li> <li>Your skin is your biggest organ, and you need to put effort into taking care of and maintaining it</li> <li>Understand that scent, if you understand it, can be used to your advantage, and give you a big leg up on those who don’t</li> <li>On the other hand, being poorly groomed, having bad skin, etc, will make it much more difficult to you to succeed</li> <li>Stay clean.

33: 5 Big Grooming Mistakes that Men Make

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode35 A lot of people are held back by worries about how they think that their friends will perceive them if they upgrade their style. People want to upgrade themselves, to look better, and to be perceived as better by the way they dress and present themselves, but they are worried about what other people will say. But it is important to understand that most people are obsessing over themselves, to the extent that they are unlikely to notice or care about the way that you are upgrading yourself. This frees you in a lot of ways to do whatever you want, without fearing other people’s opinions. But once you have made the decision to start upgrading, how do you go about it? What are the first steps? Today, I am walking through the exact steps that you need to take to get started on the path to an upgraded look and presentation, without shocking your friends. Key Takeaways  A lot of people are held back by how they think people will react when they see them When you understand that most people are fixated on themselves, it takes the pressure off of you Some people won’t like the fact that you have upgraded your style, but that is a reflection on their problems, not yours But if you upgrade your style, you can be perceived as more valuable than another employee or job candidate, when you may be close to equals, but your style suggests something about you as a person Just because something is unfamiliar, doesn’t mean it is bad  5 Ways to Level Up Your Style Without Shocking Your Friends  Step up key clothing pieces, one piece at a time. Look at what you’re wearing right now, and ask yourself what key item you could upgrade that would level up your entire outfit without being a drastic change Upgrade your accessories. If you don’t wear a watch, maybe start. If you do, look into a way to upgrade it. Same with other accessories Start wearing a fragrance, used in moderation, instead of just deodorant. Think of it as an “invisible style accessory.” Upgrade your shoes. Look into dress boots, maybe rugged. Just look into small steps that will upgrade your style without making a huge splash in your overall look Get everything, including the clothes you already have, tailored to fit you personally  Mindset Takeaway: Understand that most people are focused on themselves, which frees you up to do whatever you want, and upgrade your style in whatever ways you want, without worrying about other people’s opinions.

35: 5 Ways to Level Up Your Style Without Shocking Your Friends

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode97 There was a time when I knew nothing about style. I used to say that I didn’t care. The truth is I just didn’t know. I was also too lazy, and too busy, to care about my style. I think that’s a very common thing. The more I started to know about style, the more I cared. The more I cared, the more I noticed other people breaking the rules. Now, I’d like to make sure it’s known that no rule is set in stone. You can break any rule, but first, you have to understand it so you really know how and when it’s appropriate to break the rules. For this episode of the Real Men Real Style podcast I’ve decided to go into detail on 25 of my style pet peeves. Some of these things even I used to break because I didn’t know. Today, when I see people break these rules, I don’t get angry or try to publicly shame them. I nicely, privately and respectfully explain to them what they are doing wrong, so they can up their game in the future. Download this episode now to learn some of the most common style mistakes people make. 25 of My Style Pet Peeves:  When people say they don’t care about their style, then judge everyone else. Square toed shoes. Sagging pants. No socks. White socks outside the gym. Off proportions. Overuse of fragrance. Long and oversized t-shirts. Oversized logos. Badly fitted suits. Jackets without a pocket square. Buttoning bottom button of a jacket. Men who follow rules without understanding why. Men that correct other men in public. Not removing tack stitching or brand labels. Dark shoes with light trousers. Running shoes with everything. Wearing Crocs. Fully buttoned dress shirts with no tie. Dressing oblivious to the unwritten dress code. Unpolished shoes. Badly wrinkled clothing. Pajamas in public. Bright green, red blue, and black “dress shirts”. Don’t be a snob.  Highlights:  Most snap judgments are made off how people look. A lot of people who claim they don’t care about style are just lazy or too busy. Square toed shoes are for pilgrims and don’t look good on anyone. No one wants to see your underwear or your butt crack. You can buy no-show socks. Not wearing socks will damage your shoes. White socks are for athletics only. Skinny ties don’t go with wide lapels. Big men shouldn’t wear skinny jeans. People around you don’t want to have to smell you continuously - even if you smell great. Most stores offer free suit adjustments. A suit is meant to make you look better, make sure they are tailored properly. Suit Jackets, Blazers, Sports Coats, all have breast pockets for a reason. Two button suits are not meant to have the bottom button buttoned. Style rules were created for a reason, know why so you know when they do and don’t apply. Don’t public embarrass somebody, try to raise up their self-esteem. Invest in more than one pair of shoes, and have multiple color choices. Crocs are not good-looking shoes. There is always a dress code anywhere you go. If you spend money on your dress shoes, take care of them. Ironing shirts and pressing trousers doesn't take much work. Bright shirts are not designed for dress shirts, they are for clubbing and partying.  Mindset Takeaway: Be the person who pulls people up when they don’t know as much as you, don’t knock them down.

89: The Battle of the Jackets

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode93 I’ve recently received some letter from people asking me what to do if the ladies don’t respond to dressing well. Some people think that the women they are around prefer guys in street clothes, and that may not be the route you want to go. Luckily, it’s has nothing to do with what you are wearing. Your clothes are just one element of your overall image. When it comes to dating, there’s probably a lot of other things that can be going wrong. You may not have the confidence to pull of your look yet. You may be lacking in some social skills, and are coming off as either too aggressive or like you don’t want people to talk to you. This kind of thing happens all the time, and guys don’t even know it. On this episode of the Real Men Real Style Podcast, I’m going to do in depth on the three main reasons the ladies probably aren’t responding to you. Download this episode today to see how you can up your game with the ladies. 3 Areas to Improve to Get a Lady’s Attention:  Level up your social skills. Wear clothing you are confident in. Some women simply won’t like you.  Highlights:  Your problems aren’t style. Clothing is just one element of your personal image. Don’t be afraid to make eye contact. Learn the proper way to approach a woman, it takes practice. Know what topics not to talk about. Humor shows levels of intelligence. Women love to laugh. Be aware of your body language. Don’t come across as overly aggressive or that you don’t want people in your personal space. At some point have that person touch you, or you touch them (appropriately). Some materials invite people to touch you. Own your look and be confident, or you’re just in a costume. Is the look appropriate for the situation? Dating is a numbers game. Only a small percentage of women out there are going to be attracted to you. Different women are attracted to different things. Be sure to have your own standards.  Mindset Takeaway: Style is just one link in a greater chain. Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode93

93: When the Ladies Don't Respond to Style

Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode25 Words do not express everything. In fact, often far more is communicated during a conversation through body language than through speech. But men tend to be poor readers of body language, and that’s what this episode is all about: To teach you how to understand what is being silently communicated to you. One practical step is to start to understanding that everyone has a baseline of posture and body-movement. Observe this in the people you hang around with, to start to understand what is normal for them. Then, when something is a bit off, or different, you will be able to spot it quickly, and work to understand what is really going on. Understanding body language is extremely important to your ability to communicate with anyone better. So much is communicated through body language, and if you’re bad at reading it, you will simply end up missing out on a lot of what is communicated! So learn how to read body language effectively and quickly on this episode of The Personal Image System Podcast! Key Takeaways:  People don’t express everything through words. A lot is expressed through body language Men tend, in general, to be worse at reading body language effectively Try to understand not only what is being said, but what is not being said yet still communicate, so that you can ask the right questions Practice looking for and understanding body language Start by looking at posture and stance. In control? Aggressive? Laid-back? Maintain eye contact to show strength and dominance. Don’t look down Changing your stance and posture not only affects others, but also the way you feel and act Do NOT look at your phone during conversation Try to understand a baseline of what is common body language for someone, so that you can understand when something unusual is going on  Mindset Takeaway: Pay careful attention to body language. Understand what someone’s baseline is, and when they are deviating from it in a way where you can understand that something could be silently being communicated.   Show Notes: RealMenRealStyle.com/Episode25
