At the very least, you should be taking
active notes while you’re listening to
the program. Be sure to listen to it
once while you’re driving (if that’s how
you normally absorb these programs),
but also several times while you’re at
home and undistracted.
You’ll probably miss a great deal of the

details on your first pass through, so
be sure to listen to the program at
least 5 times in the next year to ensure
you’re getting the maximum benefit.
Enjoy!

✦“Give a man a fish, you feed him for a
day. TEACH him how to fish, and you feed
him for a lifetime.” Knowing HOW to create
humor is teaching you how to be self-
sufficient.
✦The best thing you can do with humor is
STEAL IT. Use jokes from anyone and any-
where you hear them. It will help you to de-
velop your own by way of imitating their
styles and material.
✦Just don’t be TOO obvious with your
stealing... and of course, never present any
humor publicly as your own if you got it
somewhere else. Casual conversation where
you bring out an occasional joke that is rele-
vant is fine for all the jokes you’ve acquired.
✦Improvisational skills are the goal of all
humor - and all conversation. The ability to
come up with topics and fun on-the-fly is the
ultimate state of self-sufficiency.

TRUE SUCCESS WITH WOMEN REQUIRES
BOTH INNER AND OUTER GAME...
[TM]
Carlos Xuma shares the insider secrets of how to attract women

the right way - by being the REAL you!
R.E.A.L. Game cuts through all the confusing and contradicting

information out there to help you get REAL success with women -
by using the best parts of your authentic personality.
R = Relaxed & Resourceful

E = Effective & Energized
A = Authentic & Alpha
L = Lifestyle & Lasting
Most approaches and seductions fail because the guy isn’t confident
and congruent with his true identity. He feels like he needs to rely on a
line or “fake” opener to get her interested. While having a few stories and
techniques is important, it’s the attitude that shines through.
“Carlos Xuma is like that older, wiser
brother you always wished you had... You Carlos gives you both the inner game and the outer game. When you
know that he cares about you... He doesn't have both, your skill becomes natural - and more effective. Attraction is
brag, he just tells you what he knows - predictable and repeatable.
and you know he knows what he's talking It all starts with your natural Alpha Man abilities - the foundation of who
about...” - Jack Kammer, Author you are right now. No more faking it!
