If you are only running EoG (no other subs, at least initially)
Cycle 1: EoG 1
Cycle 2: EoG 1 + 2
Cycle 3: EoG 1 + 2 + 3
Cycle 4: EoG 1 + 2 + 4
Cycle 5 onwards: Whichever stage(s) you think best would help you move forward. Consider cycling Stage 1 while taking action. (3 months off, 1–2 months on).
Stage 1 will help you address any limitations related to wealth building. Stage 2 will help you build your own “personal productivity system”. That’s why I suggest you stick longer to 1+2 since they are building a foundation for the later stages. Just listening to Stage 1 by itself can (ime) become boring, since you may not really see much happening externally. I had a lot of positive results the first month, and after that I’ve barely noticed anything from it.
Personally, I had thoughts or ideas on what I wanted to do before EoG, but nothing concrete. Stage 1 solidified what I was good at, what fits my personality and where I currently am. I do not agree with those who suggest Mogul to find out “what you want”. In that case use OG Genesis together with EoG Stage 1.
