Let's face it: A lot of people wish they had more Swagger but they won't admit it. This could be you. Justin Bieber desired Swagger so much that he actually hired a Swagger Coach for three years. Charlie Hoehn, a successful author, marketer, and entrepreneur, wrote a feature blog post about how his lack of Swagger kept him from achieving what he could have achieved if he had more Swagger.
Some people will protest that Swagger is all about ego. Of course, it is. Humbleness is all about ego too! So has every single post made on social media been all about ego. Furthermore, all the discoveries and positive advances for humanity have been the result of individual ego. For example, it was due to Steve Job's ego that the iPhone was developed and made such an impact on humanity.
According to The Little Black Book of Swagger (637 Swagger Tips for Super Achievers), there are three types of Swagger: 1. Elegant Swagger, 2. Super Swagger, and 3. Raunchy Swagger. Actually, there is a fourth type -- Evil Swagger. It's best to leave Evil Swagger for others to pursue.
Whatever the type, Swagger gives you intrigue, something the mediocre in society don't have. "It is cruel to discover one's mediocrity only when it is too late," warned British writer W. Somerset Maugham. Do you want to be mediocre? Of course, not. Languishing in painful obscurity for the rest of your life will not bring you joy and satisfaction. True Swagger will. Individuals with Swagger may not be able to tolerate a long succession of ordinary days but they're consistent in their pursuit of excellence, success, and extraordinary accomplishment in their field of work.
So can one develop Swagger? Giving up on ever having Swagger because you believe that you can't develop it is definitely not a Swagger move. Being too guarded and self-conscious does not translate into Swagger. Any time someone can rise to the occasion with total fearlessness and overbearing confidence, that person is exhibiting true Swagger. Think Mick Jagger. Think Mohammad Ali. Think Nancy Pelosi. Think Denzel Washington. Think Jen Sincero. Think Cleopatra. Think Kevin O'Leary. Think Elizabeth Arden. We are talking about unwavering confidence.
Truth be known, Swagger makes the world much more interesting. Swagger abounds everywhere in this world. The Swagger lists in this book comprise various categories that may be about comedians, cynics, creeps, cowboys, and con artists. Possibly even about cars, cafés, coffee, celebrities, cities, cuisine, currencies, and countries.
Discovering the people, places, and things that have Swagger in the following pages may just help you develop some Swagger yourself. More Swagger will result in a more powerful individuality. When it comes, remember to embrace your Swagger even if the habitual haters and pathological critics don't.
