Stage 5, somewhere in the middle
Last week, I decided to stop BASE due to some changes in my life that prevented me from running the sub regularly.
Anyhow, it was a nice ride with ups and downs. Yes, I didn't finish the whole set, but I got a solid picture of the BASE effects in my life, what it delivered and where it failed.
Pros:
1) Huge changes in mindset, from an entrepreneurial point of view. I think differently, I'm more harsh, bold, determined, I believe that the whole world is mine, that I can accomplish huge objectives. Sometimes I'm a little megalomaniac.
2) Before running BASE, I had important decisions pending on my mind that I had to make. I was afraid, and I was scared. Here is where BASE kicked in. It made the transitions smoothly, and I thank Shannon for that.
3) I'm no more sexually insecure. I have no idea how business and sex relate within BASE, but yes, I'm stronger with women, and without much or any sexual shame. During BASE, I was shadowed a lot, or I think I was, by women. Sometimes I received huge IOIs, other times I was like inexistent. But some of my recent experiences showed me that this "shadowing" was mostly in my mind. Often it was a question of - to act or not to act?
Where BASE failed:
1)lack of productivity
2) lack of motivation
This combo, productivity and motivation, is a nuclear bomb that can affect a business life.
I didn't feel any improvement in my productivity and motivation. Quite the contrary. During stage 4 and partially in stage 5, I was serene, thinking I have everything in the world, I deserve everything, I'm a multimillionaire, I can afford everything, etc. Ok, it was good, but it scared me a ton because when I looked closely at my daily tasks, I had shit to do which was crucial.
That's a third weak point of BASE - I felt it imposes an external program in my mind, it transforms my personality according to with some particular, super strict script.
Nothing against that.
But I felt that this script doesn't adapt to my current condition. Ok, it's good to think big, like a multimillionaire, but hey, there was some work to be done around me. And this is just a small example of what I experienced.
To sum up, I consider these four months and a half a good investment. I will come back either to BASE 5G somewhere in the future or when an improved version will be released.
Specific results:
I cannot say anything about money related results. It wasn't the purpose of this journal.
When I started BASE, I had just quitted my job; I was scared as shit and with the business already begun one year ago being flat at that moment.
Now, I moved from a small and annoying city to the capital city of the country I'm based, to a super nice studio (and super expensive), with my business currently running up, and with a strong perspective of starting a new one shortly. Bonus: the sexual part is quite solved with a huge improvement from where I started.
What's next?
I will focus solely on the business started last year. No more subs or other personal development stuff for a while. Just grinding and having fun with my life. A lot of activities need to be done, and I cannot afford any megalomaniac thinking at the moment.
Also, I will start a new business somewhere this autumn with some visible results in early 2017. This new decision was pending on my mind for some months, and BASE helped again to make the decision smoothly.
P.S. Interesting fact, this week I feel that my motivation is kicking in again. Hope with it the productivity will come in big style.
