My Manifesto, Energy, and Purpose
Wow, look at how time flies. That's how young I was when I started coaching.
Hey Guys,
With TDD blowing up in the scene, one can’t help but compare our company to Pick Up Artist companies that are around. We have tons of critics who try to sincerely define what makes us different from everybody else. Well, the answers are all over the site, but I believe that if you scratch the surface further, you’ll find what makes us different. Let me tell you about my story.
I’m not going to lie and say I never tried that Pick Up Artist stuff. To be honest, I bumped into some David D way back in ‘03, and ever since a girl hopped on my bed from a sleep over to make out with me, I was really like “Whoa, this stuff f*cking works!” It was amusing to know that someone had put some structure in all of this, and despite having more than decent results in the past, I used my office printer (yes, I did that) and started printing articles and hand outs for me to keep. It was fun to learn the sweet science of getting women.
Early 2004, I had moved to San Antonio for my military duty, and I was new to the city. Knowing nobody, I thought that the Pick Up Bandwagon would be in town and all I had to do was to raise a flag and hope someone sees it (on the internet). Before I knew it, I had met my first set of friends there, and eventually the camaraderie brought me to become the president of our local “lair” or chapter of Pick Up Artists. A lot of the guys put me in the leadership position due to the skills I had shown them in the field and the results of those interactions.
From AM to PM - The $20 Seminar that Made Me
This experience brought me to teach my first ever seminar, which resulted in humongous results. Its funny I’m sharing this because these photos are about 5 to 6 years old. The more I taught, the more the word spread. I had no blog, or affiliate, or nothing. People wanted to know who I was, to the point where I had people flying in from Canada, Los Angeles, and South America just to train. I didn’t have any money at the time - I bought a white board, some markers, and would take them at the back of my Corolla. I was teaching these camps every weekend in Super 8’s, Motel 6’s and Country Lodge’s. I charged a mere $250 for a weekend with me. I didn’t care. I knew that it took time and exposure for people to listen but when it happened things would spread like wildfire.
With a constant exposure to men who fumbled a lot with women, and whom I had converted to “see the light.” I was hungry to become an expert in the field - I tried different concepts, got myself in unfamiliar situations, and then eventually met people who were actual Pick Up Artists and Gurus. I had met “naturals”, young millionaires, and bumped into more successful people by the day. Due to my skills to break down tons of information, I then noticed that there were some things that made one guy a tad more successful than the other - Something we’re going to tackle heavily on the next Champions of Choice.
I was very lucky that I chose this business, because eventually the rumors spread and I got picked up by a huge global dating company back then. This, I said, was going to be the window to the world - and it was. Being one of the most notable superstars in the company, the job took me places - from all around the United States, to Europe, and to various parts of Asia. I was blessed because this provided the outlet for me to shine and prove that there was more to picking up women - it was about being a solid man with a very strong sense of self, and a lifestyle that allowed growth and personal development. I did this for the next 4 years of my life, nonstop.
In the beginning it was okay, but as time went by things got more ridiculous. More theories, more products to confuse people, and a lot more people without the foundations handled were getting into it and naming themselves as experts. Kids with no self-identity started getting enormously happy when they got a phone number. To add to that, multitudes of men kept following this stuff blindly and kept pumping cash into the coffers of these guys who weren’t legit. I was witness to tons of really good guys wasting their time learning this stuff. It was embarrassing, and it got bad in a minute. From there I had decided I didn’t want that element in my life anymore.
I realized that it wasn’t going to be easy to leave that life, because of some mental conditioning I had undergone. Luckily, I didn’t do so much of the PUA stuff that things weren’t fully ingrained yet. I also had to remind myself that I had laid a hundred women before I tried this stuff. Just like my first milestone with women, I made another self inventory and realized that the same skills I had were constant, and so to prevent further head fuckery that unfortunately many guys are having now thanks to the PUA stuff, I decided to quit being affiliated with PUA’s.
With the changing tides, I became more and more confident as our students kept living the life - of prosperity in all areas of life. I had turned my back to the industry and I had to find in myself what we needed as mantra for the new company, the new social movement that is now TDD. We currently operate all around the world, teaching scores and scores of men the path to becoming well-balanced, well-aware, and powerful people.
I had to evaluate myself and look at my strengths. What was constant during the whole thing? Before, during, and after? I had come up with less than a handful of things that hopefully you guys can take with you as a foundational piece of your personality and your game.
One of them is Energy - It never died or withered over the years. Ever since I was a little boy I had the sheer enthusiasm and curiosity to figure out what life had to offer. I was lucky enough to have a supportive family, who didn’t try to put me down or tell me things weren’t possible. They allowed me to imagine, apply, and talk about my thoughts boldly. If you have such people in your life, keep them. If you have the opposite, start an evacuation operation. You don’t need people stopping you from choosing to be great.
To most guys, I know this is old news, but tapping into your child-like core is one of the best things ever. Most men try to suppress it, but killing that part of you means killing your boldness and VIBE. If you’re a 25 year old male who has never tried a rollercoaster ride or at least had one food fight in your life, then you’re seriously missing out.
Understand that Energy is contagious. It’s the wavelength that people latch onto quick. If you ask me if I had a split-second test of attractiveness, start hanging out with a little toddler who has no prejudgments in this world - he or she would not know your status, or how much money you have in your bank, or anything more. But there is one thing toddlers will latch onto, and that is vibe. They can tell if you have it or not and that can ultimately tell your sex appeal.
Going back to energy, I believe that mine is continuous for 3 Main Reasons - My life purpose, my enthusiasm and enjoyment in meeting people, and the way I keep my body healthy and fit.
If there’s anything that gets people excited, it’s the future, the goal, the reward that they set for themselves in life. “Eyes on the Prize,” my mentor once said. If you keep your eyes on the goal nothing can truly stop you. You can weather any storm; ignore stupid critics who try to put you down, or any other roadblocks like the lack of money or resources, if you know that ultimately all your efforts have an end goal that is supremely sweet.
Moreover, this is where you start channeling your energy - to your life purpose. Understand that energy must be managed. At some point we have a threshold and get tired and will need rest. It’s a matter of taking that energy, not using it for useless means - daydreaming, vices, spending on useless things - and just expend it on realistic goals that align with your purpose.
How do you find your purpose? For me, I simply asked myself - what thing would make me the most happy, give me the best pay off, and something I’d do even if I didn’t get the pay off. (confusing, I know). And that’s when I found training or coaching people a big deal to me. Through my first job as a sales trainer, I had affected the livelihoods and the purpose of others for 3 straight years. I had motivated hundreds of people to find their purpose in life much like how TDD is now with men. Also, take note that I’d do it even if I was tired, or overworked, or underpaid. One of the reasons why I have an edge over my competitors is that I actually enjoy this, which means I can spend eternal hours honing onto my tradecraft non-stop. More importantly, I enjoyed my interactions with my students, my mentors, and people I hung out with. - Therefore even adding more energy to the pool.
Its the same energy that attracts like minded people to us, and deters the people we don’t want. We want the “BAM” guys - the ones who want to spark the change in their lives and are willing to go through hell and back to do it. No shortcuts, no weird ways, just the path that we lay out - because our results are exponential - they grow by the day.
I hope that this manifesto makes you guys understand where we’re coming from, and the philosophy that is TDD. If its not enough, a few minutes browsing the site should solidify it for you.
To Power!
