One of my subscribers Richard Massingill recently asked me to make a video
About the character James "Ghost" St. Patrick from the TV show Power
I hadn't heard of Power before, but Richard thanks for the suggestion
Because Ghost is really badass
Hey, it's Min Liu from the Art Of Verbal War where people learn to excel in verbal skills
So for those of you who don't know who Ghost is
He's a New York City nightclub owner slash drug dealer trying to go legit
In this video I'm gonna show you the first four minutes of the first episode of Power
Where we're introduced to this intriguing powerful full of swagger character Ghost
Now when I say swagger
Let me be clear what I mean by somebody who has swagger
I don't mean a Gucci wearing wanna-be rapper carrying heat trying to start stupid fights in nightclubs
Swagger is how a man carries and presents himself how a man deals with people around him
And it's that special something that automatically commands respect from others
In this video, you're going to learn how to get some of Ghost's swagger
So let's just get watching
Here's the first scene
Tell me I'm beautiful
you know you
Okay, here we see how as Ghost gets out the car his wife tells Ghost to tell her that she's beautiful
Ghost doesn't directly answer her like: oh, honey of course you are
instead Ghost says: You know you are!
As you all see a powerful man with swagger doesn't easily let people tell him what to do
And even when they do such as his wife, Ghost answers their requests on his own terms
In the way he wants in the way he sees fit
This is very much a mindset that a man with swagger has to develop
Now let's go on to the next scene
Here we see how Ghost makes his wife wait for him to go up the stairs when they enter the nightclub
Ghost is laser-focused on his mission, which is monitoring what's going on in his nightclub
He's not afraid to make his wife wait for him as there are things that are more important at the moment
When you have swagger you march to the beat of your own drummer
And while you don't want to take this to an extreme
You're comfortable letting people wait on you from time to time
Now let's go on to the next scene
Let me make some rounds
Here Ghost is entertaining some guests
But he needs to move on to the next thing he's doing
When he does that he doesn't ask for permission from the guests
He doesn't ask: Hey, is it alright if I go check on things
He just says let me make some rounds
A man with swagger doesn't ask for permission to do the things he has to do
He just does them and he makes no apologies in needing to do so
By the way, there's so much to learn about swagger, such as mindsets, self-esteem and confidence
Body language, voice tonality, social dynamics, charisma and more
That you just can't learn in a 5-minute video

Okay, now let's go on to the next scene
Baby, I'll be back
Where are you going?
I've got to handle some details
Don't you have people for that?
Let's call customer service ..
Here again Ghost's wife tries to throw him off from his mission
Ghost needs to take care of some business and she asked him: where are you going?
It's a test from his wife to see if she can entice him to stay with her
But again Ghost doesn't let her mess with his priorities a man with swagger
Always has priorities and he doesn't let anybody
Even an attractive girl change these priorities if a man is easily throwing off his priorities
Then he definitely doesn't have swagger if you are a man with no mission, no direction, no purpose
You can easily be thrown off and affected by other people but a man with swagger
Isn't easily affected because he knows he has a mission to fulfill and that's his primary focus
Okay, let's go on to the next scene
Headcount's at 400, it's not even midnight. Fire marshall told us to keep it under 325,
So if he shows up, we're fucked.
Place is fucking bananas, you might be worth the risk
Even though the promoter over-delivered in getting customers to the club
Ghost doesn't get overly excited about that
He says you might be worth the risk
Ghost knows that in order to get the best performance out of this promoter over time
He needs to keep the promoter striving for more working even harder for him
Even when he's giddy inside a man with swagger doesn't let himself be easily impressed
He doesn't show that he's easily impressed
He doles out his approval bit by bit and not all at once
And Ghost here has the self-control to not show all his cars
Okay, let's go on to the next scene
And I delivered it's the best goddamn nightclub opening in the whole year, the whole database turned out
Yeah, you know the right people and it's banging the night, but we stay in business
If we keep the music high, the women hot and make it damn possible to get in this fucking door
Right here we get a glimpse into Ghosts key mindsets and beliefs
His mindset is that what he has to offer is special not just in his business
But also himself personally
Ghost sees his nightclub as the most exclusive joint in New York City
He wants people to jump through hoops to get into his club and not the other way around
This mentality filters down from business to the personal too
Guys with swagger make other people's chase him and not the other way around
And this might apply to girls this might apply to business and this might apply to anything in life
Now let's go on to the last scene
Boss, they want you downstairs
Who wants me?
Here one of Ghost's men comes up urgently to him and says they want him downstairs
Ghost doesn't just immediately react to this supposedly urgent demand
He doesn't jump up and say: Oh, okay I'll be right there
Instead Ghost demands: who wants me?
A man like Ghost isn't just summoned at somebody else's whim
He wants to know who dares to summon him like that
Only when he gets an adequate response does he acquiesce
This is yet another key mind set right here
No matter what if you want to be a man with swagger don't act like you're somebody's slave boy
Ready to fulfill somebody else's every whim
Respond to demands and requests at your own pace on your own time
And in a manner befitting someone with swagger
If you want people to respect you like someone who has swagger
This is a very key ingredient
