what's going on YouTube it's David here
in this video I'm going to give you six
easy steps to help you become that
badass who has supreme
confidence in himself and who lives life
on his own terms let's get started so
let's get started by talking about what
a badass is what a badass is not the hat
is not some dude in a leather jacket who
rides a Harley Davidson who's a dick to
everyone that he talks to that's just
someone who's an what a badass
really is is someone who's confident
enough in themselves to go their own way
without worrying about what other people
think about them hit at the same time
they're still respectful and kind to
everyone they talk to that all being
said the first step I have for you is to
take care of your appearance look man
the truth is that how you feel is a
direct reflection of how you look so if
you walk around all day looking like a
complete slob then you're going to feel
a lack of confidence in yourself and
other people are going to perceive you
the same way as well I'm not saying you
need to wear fancy clothes and walk
around in a fitted suit and tie
everywhere you go I'm just saying you
need to take care of your appearance
make sure that your facial hair is
groomed make sure that your hair is
styled however you want its style make
sure you're wearing clothes that
actually fit your body and then match
each other if you watch my channel you
know that most of the time I don't wear
anything fancy but I do make sure that
it looks good and you know it's probably
time for me to take my own advice
because I'm wearing a shirt from last
night and has a couple stains on it my
hair is not done so I'm gonna get myself
ready before I walk out the door it'll
keep this video going alright looking
better and I'm feeling better anyway
let's get to the second step which is to
lift weight and before you dismiss me as
another gym bro who's just obsessed with
getting big listen up I don't think you
need to get as big as a bodybuilder I
don't even think you need to get a
shredded six-pack none of that's really
important at the end of the day if you
just workout recreationally and build a
little bit of muscle you're going to
fill in your clothes a lot better and
you're going to look like a strong
confident guy you're going to make that
much better of a first impression on
everyone you meet and that's not even to
mention the internal benefits when you
pushing yourself to get stronger and a
little more weight in the gym every
single week that can help you build
mental toughness that's going to
translate some more persistence and more
courage in every single area of your
life
I'm not joking man this really
works and right now if you're looking
for a simple routine to get started you
can click the I in the top right corner
or the link in the description to
download my free full body routine it's
just three days per week anyway I'm at
the gym now
so I'm ahead in to get my workout in
which unfortunately is kind of sad right
now because I have herniated a disc in
my lower back a couple weeks ago so I'm
just doing like the old man machine
circuit I'm crossing the road here too I
got to be quick but keep watching
because after that I have to step number
three coming your way
workout complete it felt good but I'm
looking forward to getting back to full
strength so I can back to squatting and
dead lifting and all that good stuff
anyhow the third steps that I have for
you is to face your fears on a daily
basis because look man a badass to
someone who's comfortable facing his
fears but that doesn't just happen you
have to build up your courage muscle
over time in order to get to that point
and the best way to do this is to do
small little things each and every day
that make you afraid so for most dudes
an easy way to implement this would be
to try and start a conversation with a
cute girl every single day just while
you're going about your daily business
so this could be at the grocery store at
the supermarket or just on the street
right here for example so in the spirit
of implementing my own advice I'll do a
quick approach for you guys here wish me
luck
I'm going to tell you I think you're
super hang down how's your day
going good I have a good day
and that is how the majority of these
approaches are going to go but that's
alright remember that the point of this
is to face your fear and to hear
yourself comfortable facing your fears
anyway I got to go home and shower and
change up I'll pick back up for step
number four all right guys I'm enjoying
a nice evening walk you're in Boston I
love this city in the summertime
anyway the fourth step that I have for
you is to read books and I know on the
surface this does not sound badass but
listen up because it actually is when
you read books you can essentially
absorb unlimited amounts of information
that it's going to make you more well
equipped to handle yourself wealth in a
huge variety of different types of
situations and at the end of the day
that's pretty badass now
personally I don't have the patience to
sit down and read for 30 minutes so I
actually listen to audiobooks right now
I'm listening to this book called the
simple art of not giving a by Mark
Manson so if I'm taking a walk or I'm
doing cardio I'll just pop it on and
listen to it and if you want to try out
listening to audiobooks I'll include a
link in the description that's for a
free 30-day trial of audible it will let
you get your first book completely free
anyway I'm going to throw my headphones
on and enjoy another chapter and I'm
going to give you steps in response
[Music]
and
[Music]
chapter complete was a good chapter
anyway
the fifth step is to stop bragging bro
when you brag and you try and tell
people you know how much money you have
or how cool of a car you drive or how
many countries you've traveled how many
girls you've slept with when you try and
tell these people this information
without them asking for it it's just
yourself looking for validation it comes
off as needy and insecure and it also
feeds into those feelings in yourself it
makes you even more needy of a person
instead what you should do is focus your
conversations around the person you're
talking to learn more information about
them get to know who they are and what
motivates them because at the end of the
day this is going to make them like you
more and respect you more and also it's
going to give you more information on
every one that you know and information
is power and that is badass and before I
give you guys the final step I'm dying
of thirst out here I need to go find a
Gatorade let's go so I just stumbled
into MIT campus they got some crazy
buildings in here and I'll tell you one
thing these people read looks like they
got a little cookout going out here but
these burgers are like hockey pucks
there's bugs on them and there's no
Gatorade the search continues
all right thirst has been quenched
anyway the sixth and final step I had
for you is to say no to other people a
badass is not a people-pleasing yes man
who gets walked all over sure you should
always be looking out for the general
well-being of other people and you
should do things to actually help them
advance their life but you should not
get weighed down doing little minutia
tasks just to try and keep people happy
all the time on one hand that's going to
waste all of your time and you're not
gonna have the time you need to pursue
your goals but on the other hand it's
going to make people lose respect for
you and look at you is just a servant so
the only way to avoid this is to get
comfortable telling people no when they
ask you to do little things that just
aren't worth your time for example if
you're that guy who always gets caught
staying late at work because your boss
always asks you if he knows you're going
to say yes we're going to start saying
no and you're going to start standing up
for yourself because that's the only way
you're going to earn his respect anyway
I'm going to wrap the video up here
because I'm tired I'm gonna call over to
get home I don't feel like walking bro
but those are six steps you can follow
to become a badass who
takes names and ask questions later I
don't even know what that means but it
sounded cool if any of these steps scare
you and they're outside of your comfort
zone then listen up I actually just
released a completely free course that
teaches you my 30-day system to rapidly
expanding your comfort zone and reaching
through confidence in yourself so you
can be a badass if you want to get
access to that now this could be I in
