The majority of men who are active in the dating scene are a good example of this common approach. This approach may work, but this type of confidence reveals itself to be weak further down the road.

Progress is untapped power. It fuels our motivation and performance like no other incentive yet is broadly overlooked by managers. To gain that integral sense of progress, you need to know when you’ve moved forward.
