Week 9 – Reflection

What did I learn?
- When I'm feeling right, everything I've learned comes out fuckin' perfectly (i.e. the set at Playhouse). I don't really have to think too much about it… if I can get my inner game sorted to where it always feels right, great game will just flow out
- See all the inner game realizations/strides in the previous post
- Don't take this seriously, don't treat opening like a big chore/task, have the idea of "I don't really give a fuck," it will replicate the feelings of abundance
- Clarified some really good points on Phone/Text game. Given the mindset of having the memory of a gold fish, always assuming it's on, and realizing that even the best have a lot of trouble getting turnover from cold approach numbers. Most importantly, clarified that it is not necessary to be always funny, and that the normal-normal-spike-normal-normal-spike model still holds true. It's very possible to be too gamey over text!!!
- Learned a lot about calibrating tension off the direct opener. If she's into it, keep the tension and strong sexualization… if she's a yellow light, break back into rapport and try to jump her into a green light
- Learned that Austin in a badass city :)
- Further cleaned up my style and inner game with regards to approaching
- Further realized how to just take a step back and to treat this more as fun instead of a serious job I need to do
- Solidified my understanding of qualification and comfort (especially qualification) via teaching
- Learned a new physical escalation technique (the bite)
- Additional emphasis placed on leading (physically)
- Reinforced the idea of giving investment during rapport (in set and via text)

Things to different Week 10?
Take these inner game strides and apply them in the field!

I feel like I'm going into Week 10 with a refreshed perspective on game. My inner game got cleaned up, just by being around Braddock/Daxx, being in-field during the BC, and I solidified my understanding of things by having the opportunity to teach certain sections of the seminar. This breath of refreshment is something I really needed, especially after the slump I was in last week. I get the feeling things are going to start being more fun again.

I just have to remember not to take things too seriously! If I open and push sets, I'm usually happy, and from the way things are looking, things usually tend to start working out… I just can't second guess myself and let my nerves get to me.
