Damn, didn’t know AMV was a thing. I am really too old 
Share your playlist!
Damn sounds like something I’ve needed for my entire life. Emperor’s gotta make an appearance in my stack one day, hopefully sooner than later.
I’m late to the party but couldn’t agree more!

Noticed some significant attraction from the ladies today. Struck up a conversation with a cute sales rep in the elevator today. Nothing crazy flirty but her vibe and the way she was looking at me was telling me she was into me.
Also when leaving the office building I was in, I caught another girl blatantly checking me out.
It’s interesting cause this is not a super sexual stack (besides Emperor) but still noticing the results in this department, despite not putting any effort towards dating at the moment. I’m all focused on my business, building wealth, and hitting the gym, and it seems the ladies are taking notice.

Some cool RICH manifestations I wanted to share from today:
A client randomly gave me $20 cash today to “pay for my lunch” - he insisted I take the money, which is something I’ve never really experienced before.
Also, was looking for a place to get my car cleaned and was intuitively drawn to head to a spot that had everything I needed to clean my car for FREE.

Same effects today. Even though my focus is fully on wealth, empire building and career advancement, there’s been some noticeable attraction from the women I encounter.

ZP is making me question whether or not I truly want the promotion or not. It would be cool and a lot more money, but also a lot more work. I feel my true calling is entrepreneurship, and perhaps it would interfere…
Got some reflecting to do

Wanted to clarify a realization I had around the idea that Emperor is “anti-social”. The term anti-social is the wrong way to look at it. On Emperor, I’m extremely social when I want to be.
For my job in sales, I can schmooze and flirt and be witty and express all the social characteristics necessary to be a successful sales man. When it comes to my career I am very extroverted.
When I’m done working, even when friends hit me up to hang out, I find myself preferring to stay home alone, because I have weighed the ROI of those meetups. Outside of work I have been more introverted.
I find I prefer to conserve my energy for my goals rather than “waste” it on mindless hangouts.
Therefore, I have come to realization that Emperor will mold your level of sociability towards the goals you have set for yourself, and different environments can induce different sides of the Emperor within.

An update as I go through recon:
These past few months have been exceptionally productive and have moved the needle quite significantly towards my goals. I’ve challenged myself, and pushed myself to succeed and stay disciplined as much as possible. I’ve seen what I can achieve and what I am capable of. A small list of accomplishments that come to mind:
- Started a side hustle business that I’ve been putting off for a long time, and have made a solid profit already despite it being in its early stages.
- Been a lot more committed to disciplined execution of my daily goals, and following a schedule I set for myself.
- On the brink of a major promotion at work that could double or triple my income
- Being a lot more cognizant of how I spend my time, and who I spend my time with
- In great shape and stronger than I have ever been before.
- Over 4 months of semen retention
- Reconnected with my faith and spiritual practices in a stronger way than ever before
- EXTREME discipline when it comes to my spending habits. Every purchase is thoroughly evaluated beforehand, and have been more frugal than ever before. An overwhelming majority of the money I have earned has gone to paying down debt.
While this is all wonderful and I am truly proud of all that I have accomplished, I’m coming to terms with the fact that I have been living life unbalanced - on the extreme side of “hustling”. In the past several months, not once have I hung out with anyone outside of a work context, with the exception of my family during the holidays. I have become so focused on my goals that I have neglected to have fun. In fact, I’ve actively challenged myself in an almost masochistic way to push my limits and find joy in the discipline and goal achievement.
As I sit here on this Friday evening, I’m really missing that fun, spontaneous side of my life. I know it’ll come back, as life always tends to have its distinct chapters. I feel a burning desire for it to come back. I’m getting burnt out, yet feel the need to push myself more. I know I need to re-engage with being social and fun again, but am concerned about losing the positive momentum and discipline I’ve gained. I’m not even sure I want the promotion and all the pressures that come with it. We’ll see how it unfolds. Just gotta trust the process. Ultimately, my ideal is to keep this discipline and drive but to balance it with rejuvenative fun social experiences.
Thank you for listening to these musings. If you have words of encouragement, or advice, that’s always welcomed. If not, I hope you enjoyed getting a taste of my recon-induced mindset at this moment in time.

What do you do for work?
Healthcare sales
I’d prefer not to share specifics at this point.
Gotcha @Ice , if/whenever you feel comfortable let me know or pm if preferred. I ask because I have really been 'struggling with getting this setup. Both in terms of clarity on what to choose- tried and true-vs passion etc. and engaging it consistently.
Also If your open to sharing anything specific in mindset/discovery that empowered you to actually get rolling with that (obviously subs sound like they helped) lmk

Forsure @Azriel happy to help with this. One of the biggest mindset shifts I found from Emperor when starting a side hustle was acceptance of the fact that I’m a beginner when it comes to a lot of what’s necessary to build a successful business. I think I mentioned on here that Emperor really killed my perfectionism, and helped me realize that “doing something, even poorly, is better than nothing.”
For years I would put off starting the business, thinking I needed to learn something new or that I “wasn’t ready”. With the help of the subs, I realized that this simply isn’t true and are just excuses. They really helped me to get out of my own way and just start taking small actions and stumble my way to success.
I made a commitment to myself to work every day on my side hustle. Even if I had a really busy day I’d still try to do something, no matter how small, that moved the needle for my business. The commitment to consistency is what I perceive as the key to my success so far. This consistency, coupled with the aforementioned mindset shift of knowing I’m going to suck at first, really helped push me through the mental barriers. I know fully now that the more I can consistently work on it, the better and better I’ll get. I still have a long way to go, but with consistent action I know I’ll reach my goals.
Hope this helps.

Seems I’m getting a little ZP Sneak Peak (@Invictus 
) of this promotion.
Keep in mind I haven’t interviewed for the job yet, as it hasn’t yet been formally posted through my company.
- Yesterday at a Super Bowl party with my friend’s family I was telling my friend’s dad about the current work situation. I went to leave and said bye to him he said to me “good luck with the new job” even though I hadn’t told him I was planning to interview for it
- Today my co-worker called me and told me that she was talking with her husband over the weekend and told him that she hopes that I go for the job. She said that she would fully support me however she can with me gaining this position. I hadn’t said anything to her about it til that point either

pure gold-thank you- everything in here. Knowing I"ll suck at first - I love this ! I’ve been averse to this if the business is service base and has my image/ personhood related to it. But I realize -that’s fine too- as long as I do my best- I can keep building even if it ‘fails’/ sucks at first

Liking this stack a lot at the moment. Daredevil really was the perfect balancer that I needed. It seems to put me fully in the moment and brings joy to each moment. I also find myself taking more chances socially and freely expressing myself without giving a shit. It’s an awesome, truly liberating feeling. I’m very glad I added it to the mix and this was all after just one loop so far!
