Meet A Truly Inspired Man: Tony Hsieh

by Adam Gilad

in Inner Game, Inspiration, Uncategorized

There are three parts to crazy, hairy (or shaved), unpredictable,

natural, fun, playful and easeful success with women:

1. Skills to Attract

2. Skills to Emotionally Connect.

3. And my personal favorite: Skills to Inspire.

If you live your life INSPIRED, women will be drawn to you.  To

your vitality.  To your optimism.  To your love of life.

In fact, I dedicate a HUGE part of my life to spend time with men

and women who inspire me – who break me into whole new ways of

being.

One of those people is Tony Hsieh, founder of billion dollar

company, Zappos.

The dude is a visionary – his whole life, his whole success and his

whole business is built on the principles of having and giving WOW

Experiences, maintaining “weirdness” and going 1000% overboard to

keep his customers in a state of delight at how much over the top

service they get (see the parallel to intimacy yet?)

Today, Tony is giving a FREE teleseminar…

I’m going to be on it – and I thought you might like to be as well.

Here’s why I think you should pop on this call…

It’s easy to get stuck in ruts.  In fact it’s INEVITABLE that we

get stuck in ruts – mental ruts, habit ruts, social ruts, dating

ruts, sexual ruts…

And it takes an act of conscious WILL to break forward into new,

inspired ways of being.

It just so happens that I was reading Tony’s book “Delivering

Happiness” on the plane out to Austin last weekend, and someone

commented “that must be a good book” – because I was still reading

on the escalator down to baggage claim.

Check this out: I’ll write more about this later, but here are 10

core principles of Zappos Mission.  Notice how they ALL apply to

dating and intimacy!

1. Deliver WOW through service

2. Embrace and drive change

3. Create Fun and a Little Weirdness

4. Be Adventurous, Creative, and Open Minded

5. Pursue Growth and Learning

6. Build Open and Honest Relationships with Communication

7. Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit

8. Do More With Less

9. Be Passionate and Determined

10. Be Humble

If you can, jump on the call at 5 Pacific time, 8 Eastern.

See you there.

Your friend,

Adam

ps – I just noticed that there is a business advice membership club that they will probably be offering at the end of the call.  But I imagine it will be a soft sell and no one is compelled to buy.

ps – please comment below on this:  WHO INSPIRES YOU?  What

business leaders?  What men?  What women?  Share their names and

maybe what they’ve written – and please add WHY they inspire you.

I like to think of this as a community of mutual inspiration as

well as mere success with women.  That’s just the natural result of

living an inspired life.  Peace.

Some people who have inspired me lately due to their eloquent arguments (and books) that challenge orthodoxy and dogma:

Nassem Taleb (The Black Swan)
Gary Taubes (Good Calories Bad Calories)
Art Devaney (Evolutionary Fitness, misc. papers on economics)

Right on. I’ve heard of two of them – I’m putting them all on my Amazon list now. (by the way – I keep an open Amazon “post note” on my desktop – and whenever I hear of a grat book, I write it down immediately. Then once a week, I review them, and make Jeff Bezos richer.

For me my inspiration is a guy that started a martial art phenomenon, now it is not all about fighting, it is about looking into oneself and realizing that not fighting is always better. Although it would mean richer in a monetary way it still seems to help with the self-esteem and confidence that women like.

Yup. I used to study and teach a couple of martial arts forms. One of the deepest and most inspiring teachers to me is the founder of Aikido, Master Ueshiba. After mastering many martial arts systems, his system was born in a spiritual awakening. Following a battle, he was walking in a garden (of course) when…

**

“ …I felt the universe suddenly quake, and that a golden spirit sprang up from the ground, veiled my body, and changed my body into a golden one. At the same time my body became light. I was able to understand the whispering of the birds, and was clearly aware of the mind of God, the creator of the universe.

At that moment I was enlightened: the source of budo is God’s love – the spirit of loving protection for all beings… Budo is not the felling of an opponent by force; nor is it a tool to lead the world to destruction with arms. True Budo is to accept the spirit of the universe, keep the peace of the world, correctly produce, protect and cultivate all beings in nature.”

Talk about a great day.

His book, “The Secret Teachings of Aikido” is on Amazon – as are many other books about him.
