Since SM3 totally failed for me and is deemed to be a deep permanent change compared to this program...I'm now not convinced this sub will do much either, at least currently since "what I have" hasn't gotten any success at all. I'll have to rethink whether buying it and switching to it from E2 is wise, sadly. If I didn't get benefit from SM3, I'm probably not likely to get much from this, either. It's going to suck reading epic reports from others, but I did the same thing about SM3 so that isn't new.
We'll see, I just don't want to get my hopes up in my case. I feel it's already been massively over hyped beyond belief, which puts unnecessary pressure on ourselves...and on Shannon.
Let us reiterate that SM3 did not fail you. It's just a set of instructions. The action was on your part, and so if anything, you failed to accept, execute and act on the instructions.
I'm amused how easily you are influenced about things, without ever trying them. But not surprised. It's the end all be all, no, it won't work. Meanwhile, it's not even available for sale yet. Whatever happened to "Let's see what happens when I use it"? Assumptions don't make for very good basis for decisions that produce results, and as a business man, you should know that.
I already told you, you need to focus on clearing out the crap that's holding you down and holding you back. 3 to 9 months of E2 should be massively helpful. Don't try to do AM again until you feel like E2 has cleared out a hell of a lot of crap, and it doesn't hurt when you stop using it and the emotional anesthetic fades away. Once that happens, you may find you don't need to run anything else to accomplish your goals. But if you do want to, then consider AOSI or AM. But first focus on what the real issue is. E2 is the right tool for this job.
I know I'm talking myself out of a sale here, but the fact is, you're better off doing it this way. I'd rather you genuinely fix the problem, than make a little more money in the short run.
What happened?
Probably a combination of a very serious real life crisis today, and being honest with myself and realising that I likely do need months of E2 after all and will miss out on AOSI during the summer that I was really excited about. That's all, just feels like I'd be purposely pushing back getting some success in the part of my life I want handled. But, I don't seem to have much choice, as there's a lot more there for E2 to work on, than I wanted to admit.
It's abundantly obvious I need E2...despite the fact I'm not happy about that. I yearn to have a modicrum of success with women, I feel I've waited LONG enough, but the proof is in the pudding. Fair enough, I will start my E2 journal immediately and live vicariously through AOSI users.
Thank you for your words...
I won't pollute the journal with my pity party any longer, that was somewhat accidental. I apologise to all.
Here's how this works.
There's a path to the goal, which is easy to walk on, and there's "everywhere else".
The path to the goal is sometimes boring and uninteresting compared to the "everything else", and it's easy to get distracted and wader off the path. But no matter how far off the path you get, and no matter how you might wish it were otherwise, neither the path, nor the goal, changes. You're here to do what you're here to do, and that's that.
Now the goal is going to be achieved, because that's the way things are designed. But you're freely allowed to wander off the path as much and as far as you like, and for as long as you like. But the further and longer you are off that path, the more frustrating and painful it becomes. Sooner or later, you WILL return to the correct path. That's just the way things are designed, because that's what makes the achievement of your goal inevitable. There is no failing; it's just a question of how much time and pain you want to spend on the way.
Your pain and frustration is what it is because you wandered off the path. You tried to have the goal Z without going through points B through Y first. It doesn't work that way. You have to go through A, B, C, ..., X and Y before you get to Z.
I know how you feel, because I have been in your shoes. I know how frothingly ragingly pissed and frustrated I was. But rage and blame and scream and pound walls as I might... the failure was on me for not following the path. I didn't WANT to do B through Y, I wanted Z, dammit!
But when I ran out of energy to fight, and I did the B through Y, I got Z. In this case, Z is pussy and relationships with women. I had a lot of stuff to outgrow and face and work through. It scared the shit out of me, but I had to do it. The way the system is designed, eventually, you'll be forced to face it if you don't face it on your own. Well, I got forced, and I faced it and I grew. Not happily. Not pleasantly. But I grew.
Once I had grown past the lessons I had to face, I found what I was looking for. Now I have unlimited Z, and more coming. It's everywhere, just a question of which one(s) I want to accept into my life. I can't even keep up with it all now! No joke.
The moral of the story is... resistance is futile. You must progress from point A to B, and then to C, and then D and so on, to achieve Z. There is no escape, no exception, and no secret cheat code. The sooner you realize, understand and accept this, the sooner you can deal with the shot you wish you didn't have to deal with. And the sooner you do that, the sooner you CAN spend the summer tagging hotties left and right if you want to.
E2 is the most direct way to your goal. Trust me. I would love to sell you a copy of AOSI, but I would much rather you be successful first, so you can actually enjoy it. And everything else you buy from us.
