Traits I’ve Noticed in Confident People 

Disciplined - if a target is set, it is achieved 

Speaking - Can speak multiple languages. Can express thoughts clearly even if vocabulary is limited. The listener understands their point. 

Strong extroversion socially - can approach and talk to new people with ease, but also make them feel comfortable. Good at following up, asking questions and inserting little stories about themselves without exposing too much 

Strong general knowledge / industry knowledge. They know what they’re talking about 

Hard to please but not arrogant about it. They won’t readily accept a fact or opinion, even if the majority agrees - they’ll debate with it, think over it, play the devil’s advocate

Good posture

Strong set of principles and self control. There’s no shame in wanting to say, help someone, choose not to drink socially, buy a coffee for a poor person on the street; they don’t hesitate to do good deeds 

Hygienic. Clean, groomed, well dressed, well maintained. 

Observant and proactive at the same time. Can pick up on body language relatively easily - can sense discomfort or unease in someone and do something about it. 

Have a strong sense of self identity. Can be opinionated but open to challenges.

A topic that I’ve seen few blogs touch on is putting yourself in certain positions to have luxury experiences outside of dating. Eventually the finer things in life will start to become your norm, but until then you should make it a point to immerse yourself in these experiences so that you are not easily impressed. You can act impressed to stroke a mans ego, but you shouldn’t actually let your judgement get clouded. Go to a five star restaurant during happy hour. Treat yourself to a night at a five star hotel. Rent a luxury car for one night and learn how to drive it (think RR, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.). Treat yourself to a day pass at a high end spa. Treat yourself to a hair appointment at a luxury salon. Even if you are only able to save enough to treat yourself once a year, it’s completely worth it. This will also inevitably raise your standards so that you are only attracted to the men who are capable of treating you better than you treat yourself.

some things i'm learning as i become more of a kept woman...

be prepared for the possibility that you may have to leave everyone where they are. your girlfriends/sisters/etc may not be into hypergamy. your family may not care to level up their lives. be prepared that you may have to walk this path alone until you find like minded people along your journey.

people may talk about you. i'm not talking about jealous men that are mad they can't afford you. i'm talking about those you care about. best friends. close family members. you may hear phrases like "you're so high maintenance", "you want too much" or the questions "why can't you settle? why do you have to be like that?" "why do you want so much?" who do you think you are?" you may hear backhanded jokes or snide comments as well. don't get mad. but take note. notice who's saying it. there's jealously behind their words. move silently.

watch out for people that start asking for things they have no business asking you for. they feel entitled to what you have.

the cost for your beauty maintenance will always get more and more expensive lol.

if you're like me and you come from an impoverished background you may have to get use to spending money. at least this was the case for me. i know that sounds odd but when you've become accustomed to going without or having to buy the cheapest option, suddenly not having to look at price tags may feel foreign at first. work on cultivating an abundance mindset, speak wealth to yourself and heal your scarcity wound. and be gentle with yourself during this process. this mindset was most likely developed during childhood.

you do not have to be a rhodes scholar. you don't have to know everything about everything and get embarrassed when you don't. it can actually work in your favor to not know but show an eagerness or a curiosity about it. men love to teach and share their knowledge. however you should be up to date on current events and what's happening in the world.

you do not have to be a 10. looks are important but it's more important to look put together. exercising and eating healthy is of the upmost importance.

outside of the bedroom, spewing profanities, acting vulgar and dressing *too* provocative will probably not go over well.

be interested in his work other than how much he earns.

learn about him. his likes, his dislikes, and even more so learn what stresses him out and what makes him happy, that will come in handy. 😉

Me, in 10 years.

by a girl, who’s planning, working and dreaming for this life.

I’ve made it.

All my hard work, and dedication has paid off.

I’m finally living the life of peace and stability that I’ve dreamed about since I was a child.

I wake up next to the love of my life, my husband, in a big sprawling home, that we own.

After a lifetime without my father, building a life and legacy with a man of exemplary character, who provided love, security and stability, has been a joy for me.

I go downstairs and greet my children, who have been cared for, loved and provided every opportunity. My heart is full in my chest.

They have no concept of going to bed cold or hungry, stressing as a child about bills or the fighting and anger of a broken home.

Nothing but sweet innocence is in their eyes.

I know that, after having to work since 16 out of necessity, I am a point where my days are full of relaxation and peace after the kids go to school.

After a childhood and many years after of scarcity and uncertainty, I am in awe of the ease that life now brings.

I think of the day ahead of me, and the days behind that it took to get here and I could almost weep from happiness at this life.

MINDSET SHIFTS TO MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL.

POSITIVE THINKING

Have you heard of the saying "Positive minds, Positive vibes." Your life is as good as your mindset. The more positive your outlook, the better your life.

How to start? Focus on solutions rather than problems.

GOAL ORIENTATION

Set clear and achievable goals. Break them down into smaller steps and stay focused on your objectives.

The more you'll achieve your goals, the greater your confidence will get.

PERSISTENCE

Success often requires persistence and determination. No matter the obstacles, keep pushing forward!

Your reward is not to far ahead.

GROWTH MINDSET

See every challenges as opportunities for growth. As we say "you success is outside your comfort zone."

SELF BELIEF

Believe in yourself even when nobody else does.
