This is true. I think I’ll alternative my loop days with Emperor and Stark, kind of similar to you saying you needed to use both at the same time. I’m was using the plan from the manual today but I might follow this pattern:
MON/WED/FRI
Limitless Executive x 1
MSQv2 - 2-3
Emperor x 1
DR x 1
TUE/THUR
Emperor - 2-3
MSQv2 - 1
R.I.C.H x 1
DR x 1
I need to really think about the pattern tho as the productivity modules in both Emperor and MSQv2 will keep me awake if I use them in the evening. I was listening to the latter in the evening during my Khan/DR run and I found it difficult to sleep.
How long did you run Emperor for ultimately?
I’m super excited to be running this stack, my only annoyance is that I chose to change the stack today and it’s my last day running subs until Monday
I really enjoyed the book “48 Laws of Power” which PCC is based on. For me, as Emperor alone felt “cold” , well, cold is a bit too harsh, but you are all about building your empire and socializing or small talk was a waste of time. At least for “me”. PCC gave me a pinch of socialization and a dash of charisma and it helped smooth out Emperor for me. (plus it gave me an inner energy)
I feel you on the noticing the toxic traits of people on your custom sub. I’m feeling this as well, as their shallowness and BS seems to magnify 10 fold. Not sure which sub brought this out in me, it could have been Emperor, but not too sure. I know I have been unfollowing people left and right just because their posts now strike me as meaningless and I don’t need that in my life.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, I started to add in Daredevil every other day in my previous stack and it really lifted my mood and I looked past all of their bullshit, almost in a forgiving way.
I started using Emperor in Feb, but I went a bit crazy in the beginning and did it without taking any rest days for about a month.
I def understand! I just did my last Khan stack today and rest days start this weekend. My new Emp + Stark starts on Monday. Can’t wait.
This is one my list to read, going to check if Blinkist has this on the app as I cannot stand reading/listening to books.
So basically, Emperor didn’t really make you anti-social but your focus was second to none and you didn’t let anything stand in your way? PCC softened the anti-social side if it did come into play?
Legit how I feel to a T. I’m just unsure about unfollowing people as I still have to run my dance business when studios opening up. However I do want to unfollow/block people. But yeah, I definitely think it’s PCC. But it’s been affecting me a lot because I was already sensitive to peoples energy, but now I can see their actions 100% and I’m going crazy with how manipulative and horrid people can be, especially people where I live in the UK.
It sounds really stupid because it comes across like I’m inviting their toxicity but it ultimately ends up in me not using Instagram.
I haven’t even told people on Instagram that I use Tiktok, hence why I wanted to start a fresh.
I was going to use Daredevil in a custom with Emperor but I think Stark will ease the bits of Emperor that I’m not entirely sure of. But again, my custom has PCC so seeing past the bullshit will be difficult. I actually do kind of like my new found super power.
Why haha? What made you do that and what were the results?
We’re in this together man, gonna tag you more for sure. If you don’t mind of course?
I def understand. I have my “personal” social media accounts, which are the ones that i’ve been blocking people from, but my business social media accounts are separate and would never block people, unless of course they are hostile, etc. But you could be right about it being from PCC making us more and more aware of the BS.
On my first “rest” day, I felt tired and a bit off. So i broke down and took a “hit” It made me feel better.
I have been forcing myself to take those rest days now and get those programs in my head to process through:) They are like a drug!
Yes we are!! Follow away man and looking forward to what lies ahead!
Definitely think it’s PCC making me aware of people’s true intentions. Talking about PCC, I was listening to 48 Laws of Power yesterday on Blinkist and they summarise 7 of the laws and consider them to be their top ones - which I would assume to be subjective. I need to re-listen to the book, but what would you consider to be your top laws (if you can remember them haha, this is a huge ask).
Yup! I really think resting is massively important now to be honest. I used to be one of those people that would do subs 24/7 on the older tech, and I used to workout 24/7, and resting is so important for sure.
How are you planning to run your stack? What else are you going to stack it with, if anything?
I’m struggling to make both my custom and Emperor my main titles whilst also still using Dragon Reborn and R.I.C.H/LEU.
I’m thinking you meant to tag me? Ha, I’m going to run Emperor 5 days straight in the early morning and Stark every OTHER day, (tues and thurs) either 3-4 hours apart or in the eve. I’m thinking stark has been causing me NOT to actually sleep since i’ve been using it this week. I’m going to see how feel. I will prob need to adjust.
I may be feeling the power of Qv2 in Emperor.
All I’ve been thinking about today is the things I need to do and need to take action on. On any other subs I’d think about what I wanted to do and just not do it. On Emperor I just feel this guilty drive.
I got my workout done just even tho I really didn’t want to. That might not be Emperor but the fact I’m none-stop thinking about dance stuff I want to do and take action with is pretty sweet. My focus seems right again.
Emperor may actually be my main to get my ass into gear since I need to take action. MSQv2 will be my back up until I’ve gotten started.
So some things I want to do:
Take dance classes again. Online. I just gotta do it no matter how much a cry baby of insecurity I am. Gotta feel the fear of being shit and realise that I won’t be shit for long if I take the action.
For the love of God, film and upload my shit to Tiktok. I have a couple videos already and have been thinking about short bits of choreo I can cut down in to bite size films for Tiktok.
Start a business outside of dance. I’ve been talking to a forum member and they’re helping me. I want something that people inside dance don’t know about and can’t destroy as I’m planning to move away and need this money.
For sure, even today I’m thinking about classes, but my negative habits are becoming creatures currently.
It’s like I know what I need to do, and want to do, but I’m not feeling compelled to do it. I know that motivation comes to you after you’ve done the thing, not before it and I’ve gotta force myself somewhat - something I’m hoping Emperor will help me improve upon.
For my people who have ran Emperor, I’m not actually sure of who that may be, did you experience a ‘Not giving a fuck’ attitude towards things that didn’t matter, including people?
I’m hoping to actually get that so I don’t over think anything.
Yes, no anger or displeasure, I just didn’t have it in me to bother about some stuff. If someone or something was wasting my time, my automatic reaction was to move pass it pretty quickly, again with little displeasure.
I can’t say I’m a lot more patient, I just brushed things off. Shrug and then focus on what I wanted to do.
On Khan/Stark, I feel more dominant but I noticed I’m somewhat easier to get impatient or anxious in relative comparison.
Big “yes” here. It cut out all of the bs and distractions for me, plus I felt like I was in “flow” more than normal and more fearless/direct in conversations which involved in building my business.
I also didn’t ruminate on the negative side of overthinking…(which is a BIG plus in my book:)
I think everything is pointing towards Emperor… I need to go into that mode now… Its kinda like a life altering next 30 days for me man. So it is essential. StarkQ gives me that confidence and likeability that can help with sales…
