Thanks to all of my clients for allowing me to
become a part of their lives. The work we do
together has taught me more about life than
I could ever learn by myself.
Show me a dreamer who only dreams,
and Ill show you somebody who never achieves.
Show me a dreamer who not only dreams,
but applies himself every single day,
and Ill show you some of the most successful people in the world.
Doesnt matter if its dating.
Doesnt matter if its work.
Dreams alone wont get you anything but frustrated.
It may seem like an odd way to start a book, but here we go: Thank you.
Right about now youre probably asking yourself, Thank you for what?
Thank you for taking this very powerful step in order to reveal your true self and find the perfect partner. If youve been in the dating game for any amount of time at all, you know that most people put up walls that keep them from revealing their true selves to others. This book is all about breaking down those walls and cutting through the bullshit that gets in the way of building meaningful, long-term relationships.
Starting right now.
For more than 20 years, Ive been earning the trust of men and women who are looking to transform their love lives. I have coached thousands of individuals on how to become more attractive to the opposite sexin person and via my website, www.davidwygant.com. I write a weekly column for AskMen.com, Im the head relationship writer for TangoWire (www.tangowire.com), and I post a blog several times a week on The Huffington Post. Ive also made thousands of appearances in the broadcast, print, and online media, including USA Today, MSNBC, Playboy TV, ABC News, Maxim, The New York Times, Fox News, Cosmopolitan, Inside Edition, Mens Health, Marie Claire, MTV, The Early Show, and many more.
The story of how I became a dating coach is quite interesting. About 15 or 16 years ago, a friend and I were conducting a seminar together. It was about how to make money and how to market yourself. My friend kept telling me, Do what you love, and the money will follow.
Okay, I said. That sounds great. But how does that bit of cosmic wisdom really work?
He replied, If you do what you love, you may not make money right away. But youll stay true to who you are and be passionate about everything you do. And, like magic, youll start getting clients. People are going to want to do business with you, because passion is contagious and everyone wants to feel it.
I thought about it, and I realized he was right. So I decided to become a dating coach. In the beginning, it was a little rocky; after all, you cant become something new overnight. It was an uphill battle for the first couple of years, but I stuck with it, and everything has worked out in a big way. There are those individuals in life who are fortunate to be able to do what they love, and I am lucky to be one of them. I truly believe that if you pursue your desires, the money will follow. And this is just what I teach all my clients: if you love and respect yourself, then the perfect partner will follow.
I spent my 20s and much of my 30s chasing money and women. I was very good at both. There was just one problem with this: I wasnt satisfied in my relationships. Every woman I decided to date was a carbon copy of the last oneand the last one wasnt very good. Why? Because I didnt learn the lesson the very first time and had to reconnect with the exact same person in a different body over and over again until I finally figured it out.
