Day 104
So I'm still on MLS, things have been going smooth so far and I have a made a new observation that warrants an update.
TLDR: Under MLS, I take pleasure in my failures as long as I learn from it.
This is an uncanny but very welcome effect. These days I have observed an interesting phenomenon where I actually enjoy my problems and failures as long as I see a lesson in it. This sounds so natural it sounds like I shouldn't take it as a big deal, but it actually is because I used to only keep my eyes on the prize and view every failure and problem as a setback.
In business area, this month my business was hit with a significant challenge. A competitor decided to use a black-hat tactic and got my product listing removed. I went back and forth with Amazon for more than a week and my product was down for a total of five days. It certainly was stressful because it didn't seem clear whether I would be able to continue selling this product and it sucked it happened at that time when the holiday season was just starting. I definitely feared for my future there. Fortunately I toughed it out and gave him his own medicine, until he reached out to me and asked for peace. I made him sign a legal contract to not do this shit again and now we are back in business. I was able to sell on Black Friday and goddamn it was my craziest day as a seller. In just one day I earned more than 3X my monthly salary in my previous job before I quit to do this full time. Insane.
I was extremely grateful that this whole issue happened and I feel more secure in my business than ever because I will be able to handle shit like this in future.
This effect was more easily seen in dating, however. In the three months I used MLS I went on a bunch of dates and failed spectacularly in most of them. Escalation issues, logistics issues, comfort issues, all sorts of issues in my game came up. I really do feel a great satisfaction in those failures when they reveal a deficiency in my game. I even met girls who I knew would give me problems because I had a feeling that I would learn something. There was this one time, a girl I was texting on Tinder just asked me to come to her house. My gut feeling told me that it was a prank, but I felt so compelled to go because I felt that there is something I could learn there. And indeed it was a prank. The address she gave me was an empty house and she blocked me when I reached. Wow. Thanks for the lesson bitch. I mean it.
It's not all failures though. I did manage to make one new FWB and she's now a solid member of my rotation. Even with her, during escalation she showed LMR and I had to bust through it by being firm. Great learning there. It's going really well now, so well that I start to get bored because there is no more learning to be had.
This week I just bought RSD Jeffy's Execute The Program 2.0, his digital product for online game. Despite it being the only form of game I practice now, my online game success rate really needs to be improved. So far I really like the program. It really treats online game as a funnel and just mercilessly pushed girls through the funnel real quick. I have a solid idea of what I need to do to improve my funnel. A core principle is to imbue the funnel with your personality so that the leads you get are highly qualified. That takes a lot of self awareness. I'm up for the challenge. Fun fact: I just used Jeffy's opener today and blasted it to a few chicks, and one chick actually asked me to meet her right away. Followed it up with her and banged her a few hours ago. Damn that never happened before. Pretty cool start to the program.
So yeah MLS is still improving for me. I am learning a lot from my failures and having fun doing it. I don't mind running MLS for the long term, it really is one magnificent sub.
