Since I haven't been sharing many successes here for a while now, I think I'm going to remedy this right now. So, I'm in my last days of Stage 3, second run-through, and here's a little recap of my progress in the last few months:
Health:
I'm probably in the best physical shape of my life. That's not saying a lot, but still - my body fat is around 12%, and I'm stronger and with greater stamina than ever. I'm also a lot more aware of my body, almost as if I can pinpoint the actual role of every muscle and joint even as I'm casually walking down the street.
Romance:
I seem to be intimidating cute girls left and right when I go out, just by making eye contact with them on the street. At this point I'm surprised if the girl doesn't look down at the ground before again looking up to me. Even then, when they see my surprise, they seem to perceive that positively, and why wouldn't they. The only correlation I can muster to explain this is with my haircut experiments I started doing a few months ago... and another explanation would be BASE itself.
I haven't gone in a committed relationship though, as I was considering doing a few months ago. I was considering this while I was resting after my first round of BASE and then it took 1-2 weeks of round 2 to make me give up the idea almost completely. The quality of the girls with whom I choose to spend time is definitely on the rise, though. I won't be entirely surprised if I do decide I want a monogamous relationship at some point.
Social:
The one area where not a lot of movement is taking place. I'm beginning to think I'm just too critical, but I truly can't find people, who are dedicated to success (and not money in particular). Maybe that's because most of them don't go to networking events because they have work to do. Part of the issue is that I really don't need any new acquaintances in order to do my work, and I don't imagine needing any in the near future. And besides, finding a mastermind group isn't a feature of BASE, which probably explains why this area isn't changing as fast.
I have made a little bit of progress, though, with 2-3 new people with whom I share a commitment to growth, although they have an entirely different non-entrepreneurial direction. Still, it's nice change of pace and they are a pleasant company. Much more to come in that regard, I'm sure.
Business:
My self-help product lineup is shaping up nicely. My beta testers are very satisfied with their results, so even my intro products seem to be easily worth the $27 I'm charging. I might need to make some $9 stuff, though. I'm battling with technical difficulties though, so I still haven't gotten around to driving traffic to my sales pages.
Each new product I make takes me less and less time, which makes me able to target a lot of niches with my cheap products and build relationships off them.
------
All in all - progress is definitely there. I might need to think of ways to speed it up, especially the business part.
