Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

Okay, I think I have identified what the issue is.  AM is very big on making you independent.  That is a big part pf being an alpha.  If you find yourself in a situation where your independence is not easily attained, then you're going to have two options:

1. Find a way to achieve independence, or
   
2. Fight to stay with where you are.
   

You seem to be doing both, based on what I have seen you report from AM and SM.

I have seen it multiple times that guys who are above the age of adulthood who either still live with family, or must for some reason rely on or be subordinate to family still, struggle to execute AM because it's telling them to become independent and self sufficient.  For some people,  circumstances don't make that easy, and it can be a very scary thing to do in some such cases.

Based on what I now understand, I see that you're in that very small percentage of guys who needs to first become independent of family before they'll be able to fully execute AM.  The best way to do that is to become financially self supporting.  That will give you the freedom to live on your own terms, which is necessary for being a real alpha.

So the step after you run SM is to focus on making yourself financially self supporting, and make a move to your own housing.

That's exactly what I'm already trying to do, and it will take time. I’ve also come to understand that achieving independence is crucial for my personal growth while using AM6. This is why I'm working on a new project that I hope will help me become more self-sufficient.
But there are not guarantees in life. 

I hope my current SM3 run through can achieve some of it's goals?

Are you suggesting that my current use of SM3 will be unsuccessful? 
If so, I don't fully understand why SM3 would totally fail unless the script is along the lines of "if I'm alpha I..." or "If I'm a strong alpha then I can..."

Btw I've used affirmations for the past 4 days and already women are reacting much better when I talk to them because of it. Including flirting and interested in me.

Do you suggest running AM6 again after SM3 to achieve independence or do suggest something money related? Or anything else?

Also as I understand you suggest finishing the current SM run through

As I understand your situation, your best bet seems to me to be as follow:

• Finish running SM.  You will be able to see what does and does not happen, and you won't leave yourself unbalanced in the middle of a transition it is trying to work you through.
  
• You cannot see accurately what it's doing if you use other methods at the same time.  But that is up to you.
  
• When you finish this run of SM, focus yourself completely on achieving the financial state of being able to have the independence you need to really execute AM.
  
• Prioritize this financial state over women.  Women will have you spending money, and what you need right now is to be making, saving and possibly investing money.  This is the part that kills most guys.  They refuse to focus on mastering their finances before they start spending time and money on women.
  

Once you have your finances worked out and you can have your own place to live and real control of your own life and choices, everything changes drastically.  That is why AM focuses you into yourself and your self development, and away from distractions like women.
