So, here's a metaphor for you:
You need to cut down a tree. You have 2 tools you can use. One is an axe from 1930. The other is a brand new sledgehammer. Which do you choose? Old tech, or new tech?
That's how I see AM vs. DMSI. My theory is that the old tech may be old, but it may also be "better" for my purposes. We shall see.
After doing 1 year of DMSI (I think I started in September last year), I can safely say that I have gotten worse in sales and only slightly better with women. But not really.
It's odd because much of the social proof I've gotten on DMSI is superficial. People pretend to like you, be your friend, support you, etc, but it's not real. They don't want to spend any of their own resources or time with you, so it's a mirage.
Whereas when I'm "on" in sales, no one is too overtly happy to deal with me, but they DO deal with me. Results are results.
I have wondered if DMSI focuses on the 80% that only gives you 20% of your results.
If you're familiar with it,
"The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes" - Taken from Google search.
This year I've improved my sense of style, hygiene, social skills but have gotten decidedly WORSE results in sales. This CANNOT be ignored since it's my livelihood. I make my living this way AND I am trying to accomplish something that isn't easy and I can't just keep hoping DMSI will magically change things out of thin air. I think after a year it's clear it won't.
SO, I'm gonna try AM refresher. We'll see how that goes.
Oddly, I think this recent trend of demanding results and going for what works indicates DMSI is WORKING more than it was before. I've even wondered if that means I should stay on it. I've gotten more motivation, less personal BS and excuses lately and, ironically, that's what leads me to dump DMSI.
So it will be funny if, after switching to AM, I lose all this and am worse off. Funny in an ironic way, but not in a truly funny way.
Anyhow, we'll see how things go.
EDIT: It will also be interesting to see how my hairdresser and the girls at the salon react to me. I get my hair cut next week, that's time for the bloom to kick in as well as the AM programming.
