 Yeah, we're about to go out, take care of this stuff, in the field, right? You know, when Dream asked me to do this convention or make a speech, I was kind of like, man, there's going to be a lot of good people talking here. And, you know, how can I give value to these guys? Something they can use, you know? I don't want to be like, hey man, you got to attract the girl, and then after you attract the girl, yeah, then you got to comfort her, or something like that, you know? It's my new Zebra M4 model, right? No, no, I remember when I was first starting out, the biggest thing for me was like the complete disconnect between the really good guy and then me, who wasn't very good. I just couldn't see like, these guys would come up here and speak, and I'd be like, damn man, that guy has it, his game is tight. But like, me, I can't see myself doing that. Like, he tells these crazy stories, right? And I'm like, I can't do that. Okay, man, man, no. You know, it's scary, right? It's scary going out. And so, you know, I figured I wanted to talk about how you can get a set of like mental habits, a set of, you know, taking action and stuff like that every day that you can apply. That'll help you just, you know, take the stuff that you learned from speakers today, from forums, from books, stuff like that, and then how you can apply it so you actually see results. Because a little background on myself, I found the community, I'm 21 now. I found the community when I was 14. That's just a long time, right? It's like six, seven years. When I was 14, my parents kicked me out of my house and they sent me to live in France to... I'm dreaming it doesn't like French people. To, you know, to learn French or whatever. I don't know, they wanted me to become a better person or to grow. And this is, I was 14 at the time. They sent me out. And this is the first time that I went out. I was like, whoa, women, like alcohol, awesome parties. And I was like, lights everywhere. It was going crazy, right? And I meet this girl. She's 16. And I fall in love, right? The summer flame. And she's being nice to me, right? And I feel like the Pimp of the World because, you know, chicks is into me, right? She's saying hi to me. Obviously, she likes me. And I end up going for it, right? And making the move, starting making out with her. And she's like, oh, yeah. Yeah, cool. And I just, I gotta go, but I'll see you tomorrow, right? Okay. I'm like, yeah, yeah, awesome. Yeah, I got this girl. Cool. Like in my head, I was like, yeah, this is down. And I end up telling everybody that we hooked up and we made out. Yeah, let me tell you, she wasn't all that into me. She was very friendly to me. We were friends. And I ended up looking like a douchebag in front of everyone. All right? It was pretty painful because I built myself up. Like, yeah, I'm just like player, awesome. I can get where I want. And then all of a sudden, all these people are just like giggling about me behind my back. And I was like, damn, it hurt. It hurt a lot. And that's when I decided, you know what? Like having no control over your emotions like this, like somebody else being able to completely crush you on this sort of emotional level, that's complete crap. And I will have none of it. So I go home. And like so many of you guys, I am guessing, I Google, you know, whatever, pick up. Good with women's seduction. And I find all this amazing material. I start reading it and reading it. And eventually everything just took care of itself. And I got good with women. And do you guys think that's how it actually happened, that I found this stuff and then all of a sudden, poof, I got good with women? No. Hell no. Hell no. That's not how it went down. Oh God, no. I started reading. I started reading a lot. It did make all the negative feelings go away. Because I felt like I'm in control of this now. Like I got this. I know how women think. I know how it works. That's cool. Yeah, I got this. But yet I didn't have a girl. And I didn't do any approaches. And yeah, I'd sprinkle in some like cocky funny lines every now and then in school and stuff like that. But that was about as far as I would push it. And yeah, you know, I was 14 all the way through high school. Every now and then I would get lucky. I got a girlfriend. The girl I lost my virginity to, she was like 23 and I was like 17. Completely the right place at the right time. Like let me tell you. But that even like that fueled my like raging ego even more. I was like, I can get anybody. I know this stuff. Like look at the girl I'm with right now. So finally senior year of high school, right? Same thing again. Fall in love with the girl. And this time, this time I know what's up. And to be honest, this time this girl really did like me. She was into me. And that's what made it so much more painful when I completely like blew this whole opportunity with her. All a senior year basically. I kept going back and forth, back and forth with her. You know, I would push you out and I would go for it in like a real weird way and it just never worked out. And then I realized, you know what? I hadn't learned anything all these years. I had nothing to show for it. So finally I flew back to Europe, you know, Sweden. And for the first time, you know, me and my friend, we would bounce these like ideas off each other. But like, yeah, man, did you read this stuff? Yeah, I read that. That's cool, man. We could use that and then we'd like go play World of Warcraft. You guys know what I'm talking about, right? And now everybody here on the field all the time. So I never actually met somebody that knew this stuff. And what ended up happening, you know, my most like important purpose in the community was like, what's a cool name I can have on the forum? Like Dark Thunderbolt Man or something like that. You know, and that's actually, people ask me how, why like zebra with the hell? At some point I was like, who gives a shit about a name? Like let's just pick something. And I looked at it like an advertising sign, it was like a zebra there. And I was like zebra, I'll post on that. I went to Sweden, I went to pick up someone kind of like this. And for the first time I saw a guy that had this handled. Like the picture in my head, I was like, that's who I want to be. No more bullshit, none of this. I'm going to take care of this for real this time. You know, like you say this a lot to yourself, right? But this time actually for whatever reason, you know, it clicked for me. I was like, damn, there it is right in front of me. I can obtain it now I know what it looks like. And I went home and I sat down and I just realized, damn, I have no idea of what to do next. Like that cool, that guy, the really cool guy, I knew what he looked like. I knew I wanted to be him. But I just had no idea what to do. And so, you know, after a lot of trial and error, obviously like anybody that's been through this, I found at least the like three most important areas for me. And I'm going to share this stuff with you. And then hopefully you guys won't have to like rack your brains really finding out about this stuff. And a lot of this stuff I think you probably heard before, but it's like the basic stuff that you really have to get done. And until you fix this, like nothing else is going to work. So basically the first thing that I feel is really important to take care of. And I don't want to call this intergame. I don't really think it's intergame. I think I was never a guy that like, I didn't really have discipline or anything like that. So if I can't take care of other stuff in my life, how can I ever like fix this area in my life? So I had to like get my shit straight with habits and stuff like that. And the three things that you really like have to get down is leverage. Leverage on yourself. And I'll explain that in a little bit. The second one is goals, which I'm sure you guys are all excited to hear about, right? And then just getting conscious of all this stuff. So leverage, what is that? You got to know exactly why you want to do this. Why are you here? Like why are you out in the field when you get blown out or when you see a really scary set? Why are you going to go into it? Like what's, what do you want to like, do you want to be alone for the rest of your life? Like do you want other people having control over your feelings like that? Your emotions being a roller coaster? You got to make it clear why you're in this game or this field of practice. Why do you want to get good with women? Until you have like a crystal clear image in your head what you're moving away from. I think if you're just ambiguous about it, like oh I don't like not having like a girl. You know, I don't know. I don't know why I'm doing this. Until you have a crystal clear image in your head why you want to do this, it's going to be so much harder for you to, you know, achieve your goals or whatever, get the girl, go out into the field, do whatever you have to do to push yourself outside of your comfort zone because when push comes to pull or whatever, you know, your brain is going to be like why are you doing this? Just go home, go home, sit down, take a nap and if you don't have any like really good answer to come back with then you're just going to go home. You're going to give up, right? So get leverage. This is something I found that like the guys that really went from shit to like the best, they all had leverage on themselves. Remember last year, Dream told us about like one of his nights when he just like got blown out left to right and he was like a mental wreck and he went to the gym and he pumped himself like really hard and he was just like destroyed. Well that's his leverage. You remember that like he had those negative emotions and he knew like fuck that. I don't want to feel this anymore. I got to get this handled.
