Also found the comment I was talking about before: Main Disc. Thread - Mogul ZP - #194 by Palpatine
Nice find. Now that I know they both have a lot of manifestation scripting, I’ll expect a lot more manifestations …and I won’t feel like I’m “missing out” when I swap RICH out in the future.
I ran Stark + Mogul for only one cycle (but I plan to again) and was pleased with the increased focus on business and wealth building ideas, study, and activity – most likely due to Mogul – while Stark helped a lot in the charisma and creativity departments from what I perceive at this point.
Why did you choose Mogul over RICH?
How I can see it is RICH is more for when you have a passive income or your own business. Mogul is more for getting payed more at a current company or getting a new job/promoted. I wanna become Senior Director so Mogul was a good idea in my book. Stark honestly was more for my personal life to have a more social and fun life so far Stark has basically delivered on each objective that is in the sales page (Except the Dating part which I’m still working towards improving)
Day 4 - Processing
Ran Mogul + RICH again yesterday. Thought I’d keep it to those two and drop Spartan for this cycle…it’s not a necessity to maximize the Apex Warrior in me right now, though I liked what I was experiencing with it, and the added health benefits don’t hurt.
I figured my focus needed more focus on everything wealth manifestation and business-building right now, and I’d benefit more from a tighter stack…
But, the way some things are unraveling in my life right now to make room for the new awesomeness had my stomach twitching today, so I changed my mind.
Starting tomorrow, I’m adding in Sanguine for this cycle.
Why?
Because with Sanguine I “will be able to brush aside all negativity and press forward. [ I ] will have complete and utter confidence that whatever happens, [ I ] will be able to handle it, and [ I ] will proceed to do so with a newfound ease of mind and spirit…”
It helps across the board with everything I’m doing right now.
Noticed more people than usual deferring to me today while I was walking around doing some shopping – not in an intimidated way, but more of a respectful-nod-of-acknowledgment kind of way.
Thought that was interesting. I wasn’t doing anything differently than I normally do.
It wasn’t until a sexy blonde walking in the opposite direction stopped chatting with the guy she was with and pretended to look forward while her eyes shifted over and locked onto me – I know because I was wearing shades doing the same thing towards her – it dawned on me that the celebrity and high-value aura from Mogul and maybe even RICH must be coming through…
…because I was not dressed to impress, and yet I did.
It’s all about perception.
Other people’s matter to an extent…it depends on context. But most important is your own.
And I know mine is finally shifting at a fundamental level in terms of wealth.
Most of the time I was out and about today, I imagined what it would be like to own the blocks as I walked them…and I could feel that reality more strongly today. It’s not the first time I’ve played that game, but the quality of it, the believability of it this time…it was much easier to step into.
The next several months are going to be exciting. Change is in the air. And I imagine it happening fast.
Day 5 - Sanguine
Slept poorly last night…the result of decisions that led to going to bed late.
Decisions based on the subtle siren song luring me away from the sources of stress…nothing like a woman and wine to make things feel better than fine.
My mind tells me that my future success hangs over a precipice…one wrong move and it’s gone.
It’s quite the drama…those thoughts reinforced by my current state.
I look around and see the result of all my decisions before…but I know deep down I was meant for more.
So, I notice my mind trying to run frantic, telling me that I should panic.
I just sip my coffee and notice my body.
It’s filled with energy and ready, yet when I ask how it feels about this…it feels calm. Steady.
I wanted this, and I know what to do:
Take action and make it fun…because today I get the chance to do something different.
And tomorrow may never come.
Oh, got a random check in the mail yesterday, so that was cool. RICH ftw
Day 7 - Sanguine
Used this week as an impromptu test of a different listening pattern for a 3 ZP stack – I know it’s not part of the official recommendations and accept the potential risks – so this week looked like:
Sun - Mogul + RICH
Tue - Mogul + RICH
Thu - Sanguine
Sat - Sanguine
And so far, so good.
The idea is simple: change the A-B-A-B exposure pattern to A-A-B-B, and repeat.
The hypothesis: this pattern will trigger an alternating bloom effect within the cycle because there is a 5 day processing period after two consecutive listening days for each A and B, respectively.
The same amount of exposure occurs over the 21-day period as the official 3 ZP pattern.
Initial results: Increased productivity during second half of the week, with good developments unfolding in the business building arena. Cold outreach is easier, I have a greater sense of calm while working, and I noticed more flashes of insight during conversations…probably due to the immediate effects of Sanguine with increasing my level of self-trust.
We’ll see if next week produces the same productivity pattern, or if Sanguine’s processing period (or bloom?) will blunt any recon from the wealth subs.
Or maybe this is too short an exposure period for significant, or deep processing and bloom to occur?
I’m betting that the “less is more” consensus regarding ZP exposure means this will work just fine.
Time will tell.
Day 9 - Mogul + R.I.C.H. + Ascension Chamber
Monday’s are for AC. I’ll know as the hours unfold if running it right after Mogul + RICH this morning was the best move or if I should space it out next time. (There was only about 20 minutes between AC and the other subs.)
As of right now, running those three in close succession feels ok. My head feels like there’s a lot of activity going on in the background, but it’s not stifling me in any way.
In fact, I immediately jumped into creating this quarter’s cash flow forecast without any hesitation (which I put off last week due to not feeling great about where things currently are), and am focused on next steps.
This weekend was a wash as far as “getting ahead” and being productive, but I did spend a good amount of time learning how to improve upon my current PKM system. So, I’m good with that.
Having a better system in place for capturing, extracting, developing, and creating something valuable from my ideas & learnings will help exponentially with achieving the success I desire.
Motivation to workout, train, or do any sort of physical exertion is at a record low.
Even when I think of going out for a walk to connect with Nature – which I love to do – there have been a lot more thoughts about why I shouldn’t, or what I could do instead.
I haven’t been sleeping well, so that’s likely a big factor.
When I forced myself to go for at least a short walk the day before yesterday, about a half block away from a place I meditate, I saw two hawks circling low overhead, in perfect harmony with each other, just above the tree tops.
It was a thing of beauty, and something I’d never witnessed before. The experience felt powerful in a way I can’t articulate yet.
Day 10 - Processing
Yesterday wasn’t very productive. At least, it didn’t feel that way. Felt more like I was spinning my wheels on a problem without gaining any ground.
Today, a solution to that problem bubbled up to the surface while I was on a call, so that was great.
Plus, a new pathway to profit came back into mind…it’s one I’ve thought about before, but due to limiting beliefs I put it on the back burner (along with most of my ideas that have come up over the years).
This one will exercise my writing / communication muscle and is a longer term project as I’ll have to build an audience for it to produce anything substantial. I’m going to give myself a 6 month runway to see if a) I even like doing it, and b) it bares fruit.
Also, I’m beginning to gamify the processes and habits I want to build. So far, I’m not winning too many points but the momentum is building.
This is all Mogul.
Day 11 - Sanguine
So much for continuing the AABB sequence test this week , decided this morning that I could use more feelings of joy in my life, and thus, used Sanguine.
I have to be honest and say that I don’t feel very much (overtly) from running it, like right now, after running it 30 minutes ago, I don’t feel much more optimistic, confident, joyful, or happier than I was before running it…but because of everything I’ve experienced up to this point with the other ZP titles, I know it’s working in the background.
Day 2 - Processing
Swapped out Mogul + RICH + Sanguine, and am running Stark + Spartan for this cycle.
The reasons for the swap are pretty straightforward:
- to give Mogul and RICH a chance to bloom
- to increase motivation / discipline with working out
- and to continue developing attributes of the Stark archetype
I decided to experiment by running only 7 minutes of each sub, since it seems people are reporting lower recon and faster integration with the shorter runtime.
There was a noticeable difference. My head didn’t feel as “full” afterwards. So that checked out.
Some interesting synchronicities began to happen throughout the day, and I saw how I could solve a couple different problems that I’ve put off.
It didn’t occur to me until reflecting on it this morning that that could’ve been an immediate result of running Stark.
A thought occurred to me yesterday about the nature of change and why it’s been difficult to realize my dreams.
And my tentative answer is: while I do want the dream life I imagine, my mind wants it to happen a certain kind of way.
In specific contexts, I’m a beast. It doesn’t matter what happens, I adapt my tactics and strategy…and I get what I want, eventually.
And in other contexts, my mind’s rigidity about the “how it should happen” or maybe the “how it should feel” is hindering my progress.
Just have to remind myself…
Day 5 - Stark + Spartan
The 7 minute loop runtime feels really smooth. Haven’t noticed any sense of heavy processing, or harsh recon.
Experiencing some good, and immediate effects from Spartan. I wrote about it generally in the main thread, but to elaborate a little bit…
- where I was staying up until almost 2am off and on for the past few weeks, my body has easily recalibrated over the past few days and I notice I’m getting tired around 8pm, and if I don’t fight it off, I can go to bed by 9pm and sleep well.
- the waking up early part (before my alarm) is easy
- I’m working with my kettlebells and running again – whereas the past couple months I’ve neglected working out hard for one reason or another
- and moderating my food intake and making healthier choices feels easy – I walked back to the freezer to put back a mini ice cream cone yesterday (because one was enough)…and I’ve never done that before in my life
I have something of a sweet tooth, almost all of them are
I don’t know if these results are a function of the shorter runtime, or that I’ve run Spartan before Stark the past two listening days…
…but to test it, I ran Stark first today, continuing with the 7 minute runtime experiment (and will continue to do so for the remainder of this cycle).
Another thing I’m doing is trying to notice more effects in the wealth-building, business strategy, problem-solving, social alpha arena.
I think that since the Spartan archetype lines up closer to how I see myself, it’s really easy for me to notice the increased results and changes from my baseline.
With Stark, I’m not as comfortable within this archetype, so I think I have more of a blindspot with noticing it’s effects.
But there are some that I do notice like more ideas around how I might get something done, and an extremely obvious one is how I’m sharing more and participating on the forum again.
My baseline mood is much more elevated than the last couple of weeks too, so that’s great. Might be due to the alpha scripting in Stark.
Will have to do a better job at noticing Stark come through in business-related activities.
Day 7 - Limitless Executive
Adding in a loop of LE today, as a productivity booster, and will only run it once per week to keep emphasis on Stark and Spartan.
(I meant to run it for 7 minutes, but got too relaxed into the sounds of Solace and it ran for 12. The difference in how it feels is obvious.)
I’m at a crossroads right now where it’s super important that I have a high degree of focus, productivity, and persistence with my business.
Stark is helping me expand my vision of what’s possible, helping me craft solutions for some ideas I’ve had…but most all of that creativity and imagination hasn’t been met with the same level of concrete action to materialize it.
So, the idea now is to use Limitless Executive to act as the grounding/restrictive element to Stark’s expansiveness – but I’m no longer trying to do everything myself, so it’s just a boost to do enough to get the ball rolling and bring in other people to do it better.
And if I’m thinking about the Expand-Restrict-Balance model correctly, Spartan is my balancer because it promotes an active lifestyle that keeps me healthy.
The concept is fascinating to me, but a little beyond my full understanding at the moment. We’ll see how this plays out.
Day 8 - Processing
Went to bed late and still woke up early around 6:30am, which is good but not ideal.
Despite the grogginess this morning, I went straight to my desk with my coffee and started focusing in on work that needs doing — instead of meditating and working out, which I want to make a morning habit.
Not saying that this is a good or bad thing, it’s just an interesting thing in how it deviated from what I’ve been doing with my mornings.
Might be a function of sleep deprivation, or maybe it’s Limitless Executive kicking in.
Yesterday, I didn’t get a sense that Limitless Executive kicked in at all very much. Not until the late afternoon when I started quickly digging through and reviewing some notes on a couple areas I haven’t brushed up on or put to much use recently.
Information I’d learned months, and years ago was refreshed pretty quickly, so that was good.
Not a whole lot of concrete action came from it though, only preparation to do the action.
Day 9 - Stark + Spartan
Third night in a row of about 6 hours of sleep, and I’m feeling the debt today. But, I still got up before my alarm at 6:30am, so that’s a small win. I foresee a nice nap in my future.
I have to be careful of old, automatic stress-response behaviors making things worse. Things like
- substituting rest with caffeine
- skipping workouts / walking outside for more “time at the desk”
- neglecting to meditate and / or take some quiet time to think so I can “push through” whatever challenge I’m experiencing
I know when I fall into that stress-response of “keep working,” it’s a slippery slope towards the deterioration of my health, and burnout. I mean, it’s not not useful at times to have that surge of energy and crank stuff out, but it’s not sustainable…at least for me.
Have to keep my eye on it, and force myself to take care of the fundamentals.
Yesterday, I experienced some recon after running Limitless Executive, for sure. But, I also came across some material to study and use as a rough model for something I want to create.
And, I came up with a solution to my not wanting to spend time setting up a business from scratch for a friend.
Not that I haven’t already spent a little time helping him by (roughly) talking him through what his offer could be and who it would target, but he basically wants me to do it all for him because he knows next to nothing about the business of being in business. He’s at the level of not knowing what registering a domain name means.
I thought about charging him (a lot)…because the bottom line was I did not want to do it. At all. I have my own business to build.
But, he asked for help and I want to help him out, not leave him hanging.
So naturally, I put it on the back burner for a little over a week and focused on my own challenges.
Then, while making my second cup of coffee yesterday, a potential solution came to me…
…I could teach him how to do it, record all of it, and potentially sell that as a product.
(I’d charge him a relatively small fee, too.)
This idea really resonated because it touched on a few areas I want to develop / improve:
- getting comfortable with speaking on camera
- creating something that doesn’t depend on my time to fulfill
- honing my skills in communication and coaching
Oddly enough, I don’t feel any special kind of way about this. I’m not too doubtful, and I’m not too excited.
I have a sense that “yea, I could do it…but is it the best use of my time?”
Or maybe that’s a little bit of old programming trying to sneak some doubt in there.
I don’t know if I’ll pull the trigger on this at the moment, but I’m leaning towards yes. Because imagining the way it could change my friend’s life for the better makes me feel good…and even if it fails miserably, I’ll have learned some new stuff for the next round.
Definitely going to meditate on it.
And right after posting here, I opened my email and my eyes focused immediately on a subject line that said: Stop Thinking — Start Executing
Thanks The Universe
Day 11 - Limitless Executive
Ran 5 minutes of the track (instead of 7) today because I got a sense that less would be more. We’ll see how it plays out.
Right after running LE, I came to an incredible insight into my past behavior patterns…
I was already at my desk, drinking coffee, and going through some documents to continue working on before I decided to run LE instead of Stark + Spartan today.
So, it seems the motivation scripting from Stark and maybe the self-discipline aspects of Spartan are beginning to shape my morning behavior pattern – because I didn’t feel at all like doing work first thing when I got up today.
While running LE, I spent those minutes expanding my awareness, feeling any sensations in my body that came up. Around the 4 minute mark, the sensations began concentrating in my head, which is why I stopped at 5 minutes instead of going for 7.
And right after I stopped the track, the insight I wrote in my private journal right afterward came from asking the question: what am I afraid of?
And the answer to that was basically that I succeed so easily that I feel even worse about being who I’ve been the past several years.
With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that I made life and this process harder than it needed to be for myself.
But, Life is already hard enough. There’s no need to make it harder on myself in order to feel worthy of receiving it’s abundance…
…and I feel this truth a lot deeper now.
I went and looked through the descriptions, and it might be part of the scripting in Stark that helped bubble that insight up into my conscious awareness.
Stark and its fame generation / center of attention scripting probably helps with healing those aspects of feeling deserving of attention on a larger scale, especially if you know that you’ve done some shit you’re not exactly proud of and the thought of a spotlight on you makes you hesitant to move forward.
At least, that’s what I inferred from this snippet of the salespage:
Either way you will find a new appreciation for being in the spotlight due to the unbelievable, reality bending confidence StarkQ will help you develop. Others might be afraid of being the centre of attention, but not you – after all, what do you have to be afraid of when you know you deserve it?
I have a feeling things will start moving faster for me as long as I keep reinforcing this insight.
Oh, and I decided to move forward with teaching my friend…only allocating about 2-5 hours per week for the next 3 months on it while I keep the bulk of my focus on generating cash flow with my new business.
It’s going to be fun.
Day 12 - Processing
Only 4.5 hours of sleep last night, and woke up ready to get after it this morning…after making some coffee.
Yesterday, I spent all day in a loop of Learn → Research → Write.
The process consumed me and I didn’t do anything else.
-
No exercise — except for a few isometric holds while cooking.
-
No meditation — only a handful of minutes total focused on my breathe spread out through the day.
-
No cleaning — this is the first thing I’m going to outsource when the cash flow is steady.
There wasn’t any noticeable sense of recon or heavy-headedness thanks to only running 5 minutes of Limitless Executive…only an insatiable sense of MOAR input.
I love learning, so I’ll have to make sure my output matches or exceeds my input throughout the week.
This week is about creating some wins, and testing some of those inspired ideas I wrote down.
The bulk of yesterday’s learning was about creating, processing, and distributing video content — and the strategic ways to break up stories to guide customer acquisition.
Really cool stuff.
Is it coincidence that I want to get comfortable creating/using video for business and come to find the exact information and framework I need to get started?
Right.
I love synchronicity.
A thought has popped up a handful of times that I should get started running Wanted, especially if I’m going to plaster my face all over some videos — not that I need it to get started, but a boost in the looks department wouldn’t hurt either.
My hesitation with adding Wanted is: Spartan is already in my stack, and will stay there for at least two more cycles to help keep me healthy and motivated to train – balanced.
Running Wanted will demand even more energy — and “potentially cause recon” make me elevate my perceived sense of worth in relation to women.
Stark + Wanted + Spartan sounds like a killer combination.
I have a couple weeks to decide.
Day 15 - Processing
The day after running Limitless Executive the second time was great in terms of focused, deliberate practice of a skill I want to develop. I wrote the “nutshell” experience on the main LE thread.
To expand on that a little…
…I also found myself (re)discovering relevant information to incorporate into the mix.
- I wasn’t satisfied with my cold outreach message → instantly came across something useful in my files
- I wasn’t clear on how to differentiate the offer → found another immediately useful piece of information in my files
- I didn’t have a clear pathway for prospects to follow → learned a pre-selling method that fits perfectly with how I want things to operate
All that was great. The past 2 days have been a whirlwind of learning, processing, planning, visualizing, and writing.
Then yesterday (hours after running Stark + Spartan), strong symptoms of recon started showing up in the late afternoon.
And when I asked myself why, the answer was simple: I wasn’t EXECUTING.
It’s like my subconscious was saying, “ok, enough information. PUT IT OUT THERE ALREADY.”
And I realized I had fallen into one of the oldest (and deepest) of all my limiting beliefs: trying do it “right” the first time.
Granted, there are times when getting it right the first time is critical, like tying a proper figure-eight knot on your climbing harness. But this isn’t one of those moments.
This is more along the lines of “you really can’t get it so wrong the whole thing explodes” so I get as many tries as I want, hypothetically.
I’m developing a new relationship with my bent for perfection…
…I no longer feel like it’s coming from a deep place of fear and insecurity, like I’m worried about “doing it wrong”…
…it’s more about caring A LOT about doing something well and to the best of my ability…
…and I can use those high standards I set for myself to achieve a lot more than I have…
…all I have to do is reign it in and remember the context, so I only learn and prepare as much as is needed to begin testing.
The real fun happens when my idea / plan / skill gets put to use, and I see the results in real time.
So, today I begin testing.
Day 16 - Stark + Spartan
This past week, I’ve done very little to improve my fitness beyond the daily minimum of light stretching and some movement stuff – generally while in the kitchen making coffee or a meal.
I tend to get obsessed with new endeavors and can spend full days and weeks doing little else because I get so engrossed in the cycle of learning → researching → writing.
I’m not complaining or whining about it…just want to make a note for posterity that I realize this is a sub-optimal strategy and there needs to be MOAR and faster execution once I think I have an MVP to test: spend less time in mental masturbation, and more time testing the hypothesis.
Case in point…yesterday, I said:
Well, it went more like…
So close.
Well today, I get it in…the inbox.
Day 6 - Processing
Dropped off of this journal for awhile to get focused and figure out some stuff. I was definitely experiencing some recurring recon, and I have a hard rule that if I’m (noticeably) feeling “off” I don’t post.
In fact, I limit my communication on all channels because I don’t trust my ability to effectively communicate when my emotions are like dark clouds on the horizon.
Anyhow, here’s the quick and dirty update for the last six weeks or so…
-
the Spartan oomph to workout didn’t last after the first week – overshadowed by recon from Stark imo
-
Spartan did help me push through about 12 miles of obstacle course on a mountain side with ~5000 feet of gain
(it was one of the hardest things I’ve done this year…and amounted to being a pure test of will because I wasn’t conditioned for it. As in, I didn’t condition seriously at all for the three months leading up to it. Not a smart move. Do not recommend.) -
swapped out Spartan for RICH and ran a two sub stack of Stark + RICH last cycle
-
more recon ensued, but a bunch of little manifestations happened too
-
at the end of that cycle, an ex-client came out of left field and I got an unexpected payday for helping put out a fire – a nice manifestation from RICH
-
and for the current cycle, I kept Stark + RICH, and added GLM
-
only ONE loop of GLM a couple days ago got me to pull the trigger and reach out to do business with a “bigger fish” in a market I’m interested in – got a positive response and we’ll see where it goes from here
Those are the more obvious results I can recall.
But “smaller” things happen regularly that surprise me and push me to continue forward.
I notice more and more how the positive internal changes are spilling out and being reflected back to me in different ways.
Last thing I’ll say in this post is that GLM is a must-try if there’s anything you’ve been on the fence about, or uncertain about what to do next because this sub will clear all of that right up. The next thing you know, you’re taking action and the reasons you had that stopped you beforehand stop making any sense.
