Working on cutting a bit, but not too much of a priority as I’m already in pretty elite shape and have put on the majority of muscle I can naturally at 6’1 210ish and visible abs. Shifting around jawline, hair, style/grooming etc is defientley a bigger priority, and health wise just optimizing my hormones, dopamine, etc which is pretty well covered with Emp Executive. I also have a torn AC joint from snowboarding this winter, so overall physical healing and health is pretty top of mind to get back to more regular and non-restrictive training. Custom should cover pretty much all of these goals tbh.

Other then that, I’m not really sure what my other goals are right now. Love the new job/position, but it’s pretty laid back and adding any wealth sub outside of perhaps genesis mogul would be complete overkill. On the wealth front, I basically just need to continue to put the work/reps in and stack cash before taking on any other endeavors.

May just keep running Primal as I am getting more and more out of it and it’s simply fun lol, but WB would offer a lot of that as well with the addition of some “inner work” which is a goal currently as well.

Awesome, how’s the custom so far? Do you feel similar effects of Emperor: Executive

It sounds like if you have a path and can ‘perform’ on it with your current stack, you don’t need anything else. It’s sales right…so commission-based or mostly baseline?

It seems like a really good fit for everything.

Maybe another cycle of that, and then switch to WB. If your job is chill and the structure is in place WB can be great.

Also what was your overall experience with Daredevil: True Social and what had you take it out of rotation?

Haven’t recieved yet :frowning:

It’s like an 80/20 split, so mainly guarenteed salary with incentives and comissions for hitting quota, and then going above it, but it’s pretty easy to hit the quota and get the main bonus so I’m chillen lol.

Barely ran it, just a couple loops while I was on a work trip meeting the rest of the team to make a good impression. Found it worked well for what I was using it for, but not a lot of data to pull from. Just swapped out because I’d prefer to have LoS in the stack.

Emp Exec is pretty much the only driver of my stack right now. Mentioned this in the past, but impulse control, and prioritizing work over going out and partying were pretty much my biggest constraints, and with those things dialed in everything kind of feels on “easy mode” right now lol

Just did my first 5 min loop yesterday, initial response is that both LoS and Executive feel somewhat enhanced, and I think this could be from the Pre-Ordained Vitality module synergizing very well. Also had one of the best nights of sleep in a long time, which I would imagine deep sleep helped with. It’s a pretty compact custom, but I think LoS and Executive are a pretty great match for each other, and it feels more like a complete sub with the supporting modules then they do on their own.

Would reccomended adding some energetic modules to this for sure, feels like the most awake/energetic I’ve been in months, and as I mentioned in a post awhile back I felt like having proper energy was a huge challenge of mine.

On lots sales page it says it refines facial features,so id assume it would have affected the nose instead support just straight up says nope,

so its not a start up? Solid base with a bonus on commission?

What do you think has you excelling at it?

#284

Yeah def not a start up, been in biz for decades.

Base + commission which is decent in an SDR role (80-90 OTE) Goal is AE though where your around a 200K base + commissions putting you on track for 300-400K.

It’s so much less stressful then high ticket man, longer sales cycles and more about relationship building, consulatative selling, and probably about a quarter of the hours I was doing with High Ticket.

I would say having a base and not being needy or a ton of pressure has helped quite a bit with the actual selling, but then again having expierience in B2B and having thousands of calls the past few years has also given an edge, as in B2B the connect rates are lower, people are harder to get a hold of, and so a lot of reps just have less expierience actually talking on the phones.

Also love actually having an office and getting out of the house. Being able to learn from the other reps and managers in person cuts the learning curve so much and I find im much more productive as well.

Also in high ticket if your off work, on vacation, or just not feeling good your not getting paid, and you virtually can’t have off days. So the potential to make a lot more money is higher for sure, but for me it meant basically selling my soul to do well, and if I ever deviated focus or wanted to take time off, my numbers would drop hard and I’d constantly be afraid of getting fired. I was defientley having months where I’d make more in high ticket, but with PTO, paid holidays, benefits, I fee a lot more financially stable here and that makes selling quite a bit easier.

Custom update:

Initially noticed the productivity elements the most as I have been running executive since release, but LoS is starting to shine as well. Haven’t been working out nearly as much as I am recovering from a torn ac joint, but looking in the mirror this morning I looked absolutely jacked, pretty close to the level I was at prior to getting off TrT. Also starting to get quite a bit of results from pre-ordained vitality, as im noticing im finding new workout/lifting methods that are breaking through plateaus, better sleep, and improved recovery especially in my shoulder/Ac joint.

Finally getting solid results with a custom, think I just needed to limit the scope and keep the module list lower.

How’s EOG stage 2 for you?

#287

Hey bro
I have been following your journal and I’m also on emperor exceutive.
I hope you get the time to advise me on my post on emeper executive’s thread.
I have a question
Did you notice any noticeable mood changes after srtating emperor executive? Such as taking an antidepressant or smart drugs?

#288

@Niles when you made your custom was it with the Executive core in the custom store or did you see Emperor: Executive ?

#289

Not Niles, but Saint confirmed that they changed it on the backend even before the launch.
And you know how they are with keeping the store orderly and up-to-date.
Not their top priority.

This whole " tipping " culture makes no since to me as someone living in Sweden. I do get it, workers are underpaid and many people in the US have double jobs and barely living paycheck to paycheck. But paying someone for being " nice " is like paying them for doing their job. It’s quite underhanded that the responcibility of taking care of workers lies in the hands of the customers instead of their employers.

I work as a waiter and we don’t get paid at all, only tips, the customer pays for the food but I’m the one taking the order, taking my time and patience to suggest appropriate dishes because everyone have different preference, I’m the one running to bring them their food, I’m essentially working for them not for the owner of the restaurant, so if a customer doesn’t give me a tip he basically says “you are my slave, all the work you did for me is unacknowledged” and basically I did all of that work for free.

I can be not a good waiter, suggest to everyone the same dish, take the order as fast as possible without patience and make the customer feel like he is annoying, I don’t get paid anyways, but I choose to work hard and be the best waiter I can so the customer will have the best experience and as a result he will be generous with his tip.

Hmm, so the restaurant is serving as a sort of broker between the waiter and the customer?:thinking:

Where you offer your services as a waiter in the restaurant, then the customer pays(tips and all) to the restaurant, then the restaurant takes its cut, and, then pays the waiter the tips?

Just another question, does the waiter get 100% of the tips earned by that particular waiter?
