Jeremy Soul – July 26

Dear Project Rockstar participants, coaches, mentors and fans,

As I flew back from Stockholm to London yesterday, I reflected on the past six weeks, and indeed, the past six months of my life.

When I first took on Project Rockstar in January, I was full of Hope. What would this year’s Rockstar bring?

I started working hard to design what I envisaged to be the best Rockstar ever. I spread the word, rallied the troops, rigorously screened, intervied and tested participants, pitched mentors and contacts to coach, and coordinated logistics for people to fly to London and Stockholm from Dubai, Sydney, Bangkok, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Arizona, Montreal and Ottawa.

Soon after, life started throwing me curveballs. My father had a heart attack and a subsequent stroke left him hospital-bound for the next four months.

The lifestyle I had designed for myself, travelling around the world teaching Dating Workshops to men, suddenly seemed less important, and became an obstacle that prevented me from being with my family.

My world turned upside down; emotionally, logistically and financially. Trying to be in London to look after my family and our household, maintaining my workshop schedule, and setting up and maintaining Project Rockstar had me at breaking point over and over again.

Perhaps the ultimate low was when I was stranded in Sydney, the day after a workshop. An Icelandic volcano had erupted and meant I was stuck in Australia for another two weeks while my father was in hospital. The day I was supposed to be there just before he went into surgery, I received a text message from him: “Jeremy – I love you.”

It was the first time my father had ever told me that. I read and re-read that text message as I cried on a bed 10,000 miles away from where I wanted to be.

Words cannot convey to you the extremes of emotion I have been through in these past six months. When I woke up the morning after the Café Opera Rockstar party in the arms of a woman I love, my body, mind and soul ached.

I was hungover. Hungover from the stress, pain, fatigue, frustration and tears of the past six months.

During Project Rockstar, at the times when my father was most ill and I was most absent, and when it seemed like I was simply trying to juggle too much, I doubted myself and my choices. Had I taken on more than I could handle? Was Project Rockstar really worth all the effort I had put in?

I was in my own Dip, that period of Insight. I considered cancelling Project Rockstar when my father first went into hospital, but I hated the thought of letting so many people down.

So I kept going; I didn’t know where the hell I would find the energy and the willpower to do everything, but I knew I could not let you all down.

Last night, at the final Rockstar party, which also served as my Stockholm Leaving party – where I said goodbye to a fantastic one-year adventure in Sweden – I knew where I had found the energy from: from each and every one of you.

Your insights into life, your comfort when I was down, your companionship when I needed it, and your solidarity by my side will not be forgotten. It has been an honor to serve as your mentor and your friend in these past six weeks.

As each of your grow into future leaders of the world, socially, financially, emotionally, remember that we could not have done it without each other.

To you, gentlemen. From the bottom of my heart and the crest of my soul, thank you.

Kind regards,

Jeremy Soul

Jeremy Soul – June 21

Good points Laurent and all the other guys to.

The way I see it, we’re trying to tell a story here. Stories, historically speaking, are how older generations passed on their knowledge and reminded future generations of what’s important.

The roadmaps are all here – you have the lovesystems.com website, this forum, the Lounge (if you’ve taken an LS bootcamp), instructor blogs, our facebook fan pages and twitter pages, the LSi newsletters… the list goes on.

We may be updating some of these sources (in all likelihood, the easiest place to do that is probably the Project Rockstar facebook page), but I need to sit down with the guys, see who’s taken good notes, and see which coaches are willing to make what public.

But reading these notes is never going to be a substitute for a) experimenting yourself in field, and using what you learn from the above sources to help guide that, b) meeting or reaching out to your favourite coaches and instructors and seeing if there’s some way you can offer value to them (e.g. an internship) if you don’t have the money to train with them, or c) finding your own gurus elsewhere. Now I firmly believe that LS coaches are the best in the world when it comes to dating science, but keep your eyes open, as there are sources everywhere to learn from (e.g. although I’ve learned a lot from top guys such as Mr M and Braddock, I also learned a lot from watching Nip/Tuck and Californication).

One part of what we’re trying to do with Project Rockstar is show everyone what’s possible; to show you what you can achieve if you want it bad enough, if you’re willing to do what it takes. It’s about inspiration as well as education.

The book “The Game” would NEVER have been as impactful if it was just a simple how-to manual. Most people would have just written it off as another self-help bottom shelfer.

But it weaved a tale. It showed us a journey of men’s struggles that most of us on this forum can relate to. I would hope that as more and more postings come through, and the Rockstars keep showing us more of their real selves, that we all see their humanity and are inspired by what they go on to achieve.

Dichotomy of State Control (by LA2NY)

The following is a post, “Dichotomy of State Control”, by Love Systems instructor LA2NY. Enjoy!

---

Every once in a while when I’m out, I notice for a good beginning portion of the night, social anxiety is holding me back from systematically getting into sets like I should. I found it odd that on one hand, there have been many nights when I get right into the swing of things, while on the other, there have been a few nights where my anxiety has been an inhibitor to my progression and productivity.

To better understand what has been happening, and to come up with a consistent solution, I started to analyze what caused the successful and unsuccessful nights. At its core, it comes down to overcoming initial approach anxiety. Approach anxiety for me used to be caused by 3 things: not being in state, limiting beliefs (inner game), and not knowing what to say if I did open (outer game). Now that inner game and outer game aren’t inhibiting issues, I know for a fact that the anxiety is strictly being caused by not being in state. The obvious solution? Find a way to consistently get in state…

So I started to analyze and breakdown the dichotomy of getting in state. There are many pre-venue solutions in the community (i.e. listening to good music, hanging out with friends, telling yourself you’re going to have a great time), but I’ve tried them all and realize the pre-venue solutions don’t always work. This holds especially true when I venture out into a club or bar on my own. Thus, the solution I needed to create was one that would allow me to consistently get in state, assuming that I am by myself and in neutral state when I enter the venue.

I’ll begin by defining two key terms:

Indifference: Indifference is the state where inhibiting approach anxiety essentially vanishes. It’s the point where you’ll open anyone with anything, and the blowouts have minimal effect on you. Essentially, at this point, you could be an opening machine if you chose to be. I’ve seen this happen with a lot of students on bootcamps, even with the ones that initially had crippling approach anxiety. Typically, if done quickly enough, after the first 5 or so sets, the student stops caring and will literally open anything they’re pointed towards.

Introversion: The opposite of Indifference. There have been nights where I’ve gone to a venue, and without making a solid effort to overcome approach anxiety, not opened a set for over 30-45 minutes. 30-45 minutes of not opening a set was usually okay if I was with friends and just focusing on having a good time. However, if I was out alone with the primary intention of practicing, past this 30-45 minute mark, it became immensely difficult to open. It was almost as if the approach anxiety had compounded on itself. Past the 45 minute mark, the longer I waited, the higher the chance I wouldn’t be opening any sets that night.

Now for the analysis of state control:

The graph above illustrates how to transition to a state of Introversion from a neutral state. From this analysis, we’ll work out a solution where a state of Indifference can be consistently achieved in as efficient a way as possible. In addition to explaining the graph, it is also important to introduce the following concepts:

Sticky States: Indifference and Introversion tend to be sticky states. That is, once a true state of Indifference has been achieved, it typically remains for the rest of the night. My experiences with it, and the experiences of bootcamp students who achieve it, are phenomenal. It is essentially the feeling of complete social liberty where every set in the venue is viewed through a lens of potential social opportunity.

On the other hand, once a true state of Introversion has been reached, it can be very difficult to escape out of it. For instance, if you are at a club alone and walking around the venue over and over for 45 minutes, chances are, it would take a lot to transition you out of your Introverted state.

State Clock: The second you walk into a venue, your state clock starts ticking. The state clock is the amount of time you can get away with not being social before you involuntarily transition into a state of Introversion. Depending on what you were doing before you arrived at the venue, your starting point will be at a different place, but on average, you will be somewhere between a state of Indifference and Introversion.

The state clock primarily applies while you are in your non-sticky neutral state, and is the reason your state will be constantly diminishing until you reach stickier states of Indifference or Introversion. Hence, if you walk around the venue alone for an extended period of time, your state continues to diminish to the point where you transition into a state of Introversion, as exhibited by the downward sloping gray arrows.

Pumping State: The most effective way for state to be pumped is by opening sets. As shown in the graph, the red line, which is your redirected trajectory, has shifted away from the otherwise downward sloping gray arrows whenever sets are opened. The pump and subsequent redirection of state is exhibited by the upwards pointing orange arrows. From there, one of two things can happen:

1.) The set goes well: If the set goes well enough, there is potential for even just one set to transition you into a state of Indifference. For instance, if your first set takes you to the bathroom and blows you, chances are you’ll have reached Indifference. This jump is represented by the green arrows.

Notice that with each set, the length of the green arrow required to transition into a state of Indifference becomes shorter and shorter. That is, with each set you open, the magnitude of how well they are required to go in order to transition you into a state of Indifference gradually declines. Thus, by the fifth set, a small victory (i.e. a number close), may be all it takes to tip you over into the glory land.

2.) The set blows you out: In the event the set blows you out, you still receive the benefit of the state pump, as represented by the orange arrow. This is assuming your foundations of inner game are solid. That is, you’ve internalized the idea that you have to accept rejection as part of the process, and that you’ve purged your system of negative beliefs, which link the result of getting rejected to counterproductive emotions (credit Mr. M & Braddock).

Keep in mind however, the more solid your set is before the point you get blown out, the longer the orange arrow will be. If you get 5 instant blowouts in a span of 5 minutes, there is a much smaller chance you’ll have transitioned into a state of Indifference. Additionally, the more high-value your set, the longer the rate the orange arrow will grow per amount of time you’re in set. For instance, a 10 minute set with a 10 will get you much closer to Indifference than a 20 minute set with a war pig.

Overview: Let’s summarize the key points. When you first come into the venue, your state is consistently diminishing. To redirect yourself away from a state of Introversion, you should open sets to pump your state. If you do this enough, even if you get blown out, you will force your way into a state of Indifference. Alternatively, if a set along the way goes well enough, you’ll be able to instantly jump your way into Indifference. Once you reach a true state of Indifference, approach anxiety typically stops being inhibiting for the rest of the night. Conversely, if you allow yourself to diminish to Introversion, it can be extremely difficult to transition out of the state the longer the night wears on.

Solution: The goal each night out is to transition into a state of Indifference as consistently and quickly as possible. Only then can you truly work on the portions of your game where you’re really having trouble.

1.) Upon Arrival: When you arrive at the venue, realize that your state clock has started ticking and thus, your state is slowly diminishing. If you’re with friends, you can add a few minutes to the clock by slightly pumping state through talking to your friends and/or the venue staff, but this is merely buying you time and stepping around the real solution. This holds especially true if you’re out alone.

However, in the event you arrive early and there really isn’t anyone there, buying time may be your best solution. In such cases, talk to the bartenders, doormen, random guys that are also there early etc… Not only will this help social-proof the room, but it will help maintain your current level of state. Just make sure you’re not using talking to the staff as an excuse for not opening sets.

2.) Open Sets: As soon as possible, start opening sets. Ideally, the second you get into the venue, you should be scanning for any possible set to open. For the first few, especially the first two, they don’t even have to be cute. Remember, the state clock is ticking, and hence, you want to start pumping your state as quickly as possible.

3.) Timing: Generally, for the first 30 minutes of the night, you always want to be in set. Typically, after 3 sets, you’ll notice approach anxiety begins to fade. If you can squeeze in 5 decent ~5-8 minute sets in the first 45 minutes, chances are you’ll hit the glory land of Indifference, and the rest of the night will be much more productive.

Glow: The third state to be aware of is the state of Glow (credit Mr. M). Glow is the state where everything seems to be going exactly the way it should be. It’s the mental state where everything falls nicely into place – all your sets hook, approach anxiety is all but a memory, and you feel as though you’re on top of the world. Achieving a state of Glow typically requires a combination of a decent number of approaches for the night, with a solid proportion of them going well. Fundamentally, the mechanics that you use to transition from a neutral state to a state of Indifference are the same ones you would use to transition from a state of Indifference to a state of Glow. (This trajectory is not depicted on the graph, but should essentially look identical to the trajectory from neutral state to a state of Indifference).

While it is very possible to achieve a state of Indifference every night, a state of Glow may take a bit more work. For the Kid Cudi or Steve Aoki fans, the audible metaphor for Glow is the 0:47 mark in this awesome, awesome party song:

Project Rockstars for 2010 and Why They Were Selected

Hey guys,

I’m going to have the Rockstars for 2010 introduce themselves officially on another thread, but thought I’d post some more details of why we selected these particular Rockstars and show you their video applications here.

Those of you who want to get into Project Rockstar for next year, I would strongly advise you to take note of everything you read and see in this post.

TROY BOILEAU

Troy sent in his application nice and early. He’s young, 22, but his application was well written and showed an high level of intelligence – both the standard kind and the emotional kind. This was backed up by his writing and academic experience, which he was more than happy to provide examples of (a lot of guys sent in applications saying “I am amazing at XYZ and can do ABC” but often didn’t provide evidence for it).

When I asked him to submit a video application, his positive qualities came through even more strongly. Initially, I wondered whether there was too much self-assurance, but the rest of his video (and later his interview with me) showed me that he did actually had quite a humble perspective on life.

He’s in this for the right reasons: to grow as a person, to reap the rewards and to contribute value to others. He’s also got a good sense of humour and we’re definitely going to need a bit of that on Rockstar.

KE DIME

Being a skydiver and base jumper for a living immediately caught our attention. Delving into Ke’s application further, we saw that he had an entrepreneurial mind, evidenced by several ventures he got into as a teenager, and was driven by passion – something huge we look for in a Rockstar.

His backstory is diverse and reminded us of Starlight, one of the original Project Rockstars from 2008. Ke has been in a band before, run a skateboarding accessories company and managed an ebay storefront, among other things.

He too is young, but shows an extremely mature outlook on life and has the kind of fire we look for in a Rockstar. You only have to see his video to see the fire I’m talking about.

COLLIN WOLFF

Collin had a slight social circle connection to me already, as I’d given a Dating & Seduction talk in his apartment to a group of guys based in Chicago about a year ago. He wasn’t present for the talk, but he mentioned that it was his apartment that his friend arranged for us in his application, which made him stick out in my memory as someone who had basically done a favour for me in the past (even if I hadn’t met the guy yet) – another “connecting the dots” type story that I love, and the sort of reason why you always want to be good dude and be offering value to people.

I liked how he had taken his desire to work for himself and executed a plan to free himself from his 9-5 job. An accountant by trade, Collin reminded me a little of Aaron Patzer (also an accountant by trade), the founder of mint.com, a consumer finance website that was sold for over $200m within a space of two years of being founded.

Perhaps a little more mature, logical and even-keeled than some of the other Rockstars, I thought he would bring a good analytical balance to the team.

MARCUS MILLER

What better industry to be in to demonstrate passion but music? Marcus’ original application highlighted his journey from highly paid New York-based investment banker, to Brooklyn based musician and creature of passion.

Nothing gets me like a story about following a man following his dreams. After seeing the creativity, spirit, enthusiasm and warmth that came across in his video, I was sold on Marcus.

A follow-up phone interview told me that this wasn’t just a guy blowing hot air. This guy is pure, adulterated spirit.

GABRIEL ENGLE

Gabriel is another guy with a personal connection to me. I first met him on a San Francisco Day Game Workshop over a year ago. His attitude and work in-field impressed me so much that I invited him to come help out on a couple of my programs.

As I found out about his life story, I realised here was another man driven by passion. Gabriel is currently an airline pilot for one of the world’s most respected airlines, after having spent years training to realise his dream. He’s setting his sights even higher now, with aspirations to be part of future innovations in aviation.”

We talked about Project Rockstar together and agreed that he should submit an application. I showed his video application to Whim, and we both concluded that here was a guy not just with passion, but charisma.

As we’re filming Project Rockstar professionally this year and making a documentary about it, we knew this would be a great element to have on the team, especially in front of the camera. I think Gabriel is also going to be one of those guys that helps the entire group to have fun, wherever they are and no matter what is going on.

ASTOUL KARIM LAURENT

Laurent was a latecomer to the game. His application was one of the last I reviewed, but was strong enough to catch my attention. A lot of people sent in applications fairly late, despite my original notice that applications were going to be processed on a rolling basis (and if you didn’t know what “rolling basis” meant, it’s not hard to google that shit).

Having co-founded a couple of companies and having a rich geographical background, I reasoned that he would be a mature, intelligent and balanced guy. When I jumped on the phone with him for an interview, my instincts were right.

What also stood out for me was his respect. I’m constantly telling people I meet that respect comes first to me (which is why those of you who’ve written me well-thought out, respectful emails probably got more detailed and equally respectful responses back). Laurent has this in spades.

The respect first, value second philosophy is one of the cornerstones of Social Circle Mastery. I think Laurent will take to it well.

HARRY DAYO

Harry met first met Mr M in London for a bootcamp, then fell so hard in love with everything we were doing that he decided to fly to LA to train with Braddock, Daxx and the rest of the LA crew.

The more he got involved with us, the more we realised here was a good guy who had simply been led astray by the restrictions of the culture he grew up around. Training with us showed him what was possible in terms of dating, meeting women and living rockstar lifestyles, but Harry was hungry for more.

Harry’s authenticity, relentless determination and untold generosity warmed all of us to him quickly. Within weeks he had become a part of the LA family. After meeting and training him myself in Miami, I decided that it was time for him to join Rockstar and become a part of the global family.

CHASE NGO

I originally heard about Chase when I was crashing with Thanh Bonsai (famed for his blog www.asiandatingcoach.com) in LA earlier this year. Chase had taken a Bootcamp a few weeks’ earlier and he and Bonsai had bonded over their passions for dating, self-improvement and internet marketing. It turns out that Whim had also met Chase and spoke highly of him, so that was another plus in my book.

The more I heard about Chase, the more I wanted to meet this guy. He ended up taking a spot on my Miami Day Game Workshop. It was then that I saw that this was a guy who had a lot to teach us about business. I talked with him and pitched him on Project Rockstar; when he heard what we were offering, it was an easy decision for him to make.

TIPS FOR FUTURE ROCKSTAR APPLICANTS

Reading through these assessments and watching the videos, you guys should have a good idea of what we were looking for in Rockstars for this year.

Here are some more clues on what constituted a green flag (positive) or red flag (negative) for us.

• Anyone who had already taken a Bootcamp, Day Game Workshop or 1-on-1 training with us already was a green flag. If you claim to be serious about wanting to improve your dating life, it makes sense that you would have taken a program with us already. There are exceptions to this (for example, last year we accepted Whim on Project Rockstar, even though he hadn’t taken a program with us – however, he had done lots of dating training already by himself).

• If you said you wanted to take a program but didn’t have the money for it, that was a red flag. Although Rockstar training is free, you need to cover your own expenses for six weeks and that will typically total up to a lot more than the price of a Bootcamp.

• Anyone who had met us in person either on a training program, mini-conference, internship, or through our social circles and we liked came in with a green flag (conversely, if we thought you were a bit of a douche, red flag).

• People who seemed invested in the Love Systems brand, followed our activities (blogs, posts, newsletters etc.) and admired the quality of our work was a green flag. People who were new to us and clearly hadn’t done much research into dating and simply stumbled upon our site and threw an application together in 5 minutes was a red flag.

• People who blew a lot of smoke without fire was a red flag, i.e. if you wrote a lot of things in your application about things you could do without backing them up with evidence.

• Not being clear on your goals, or having goals that weren’t aligned with ours (e.g. if your goal was simply to become a “pick up artist” rather than striving for something more healthy and holistic in terms of improving yourself) was a red flag.

• Having specific and relevant value you could offer to the team, e.g. business expertise, social circle contacts, or technical skills (such as writing talent or web design skill) was a green flag.

• Writing a clear and well-articulated application was a huge green flag. Spelling and grammatical errors were a red flag. Even if English is not your first language, if you were really committed you could got a native English speaker to check over your application.

• Asking me or emailing me lots of questions that had already been answered on this thread or could be found on www.projectrockstarblog.com was a red flag.

• Sending me emails telling me how much you *wanted* to be on rockstar without mentioning any specific *value you could offer* to Project Rockstar was another red flag. I’m a huge believer in people earning things and not simply being given them because they “want” it (read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand if you don’t know what I’m talking about).

WHY I’M DOING PROJECT ROCKSTAR THIS YEAR

A lot of people ask me why we do Project Rockstar and why I decided to take over leadership of it this year from its original founder, the legendary Mr M.

The core reasons are:

• It’s a shit ton of fun. Project Rockstar was probably the most fun I had in all of last year. Numerous sexcapades, spontaneous romances, teamwork, friendships and just damn cool experiences already stir my nostalgia…

• It helps us to find new talent for Love Systems, forge new friendships and expands our social circles.

• It gives us a playground to test new theories and training methods we have, so helps us to evolve everything we do and teach at Love Systems.

• It’s a great tool for publicity. This year, we’re having Project Rockstar professionally filmed and making it into a documentary.

• We all love coaching people and changing lives. Normally, we get to do it for a period of two or three days. Doing it for six weeks with the same crew of guys and seeing the ripple effects it has on their lives feels incredible.

Finally, the ripple effects Project Rockstar has on all of our lives can be astounding. Let me leave you guys with a note I wrote to last year’s Rockstars just after they got accepted onto the 2009 program. This will give you an idea of the ultimate reason why I am doing it this year.

Have a fantastic summer everyone, I’ll be in touch again soon about how you can follow the progress of this year’s Rockstars.

Dear Rockstars of 2009,

As I sit here in my central Stockholm apartment, newly decorated with black oak furniture and chrome fittings, the last rays of the Swedish summer filtering through my window, I reflect on what brought me here.

Steve Jobs once spoke at Harvard about connecting the dots. He said that sometimes the smallest of events, even those which we consider insignificant at the time, can eventually have huge impact on our lives.

I can trace back where I am now, which is a place I consider to be the happiest I’ve ever been, to a series of such events. Looking back, each of these dots was critical in making me the man I am today.

Starlight was one of last year’s Project Rockstar candidates. We got along so well that I introduced him to Eskay, a serial entrepreneur and client I had trained in Day Game several weeks prior to Rockstar.

Eskay and Starlight discovered common ideology in love, sex, romance and business. They got along so well that, together with Mr M, they took an infamous trip to Shanghai to party with some of China’s most influential businessmen and most beautiful women.

I was on tour in the USA at the time. On my return, Eskay introduced me to the founders of Spotify, the application currently changing the face of the music industry. He invited me to their launch party in Stockholm and gave me a couple of extra invites.

I invited Rokker, our Swedish based instructor and an old friend of his, Maximilian. The party was legendary. A few months later, I found out Maximilian had a spare room to rent in Stockholm. I decided to come visit and see what it would be like to live here.

Within a couple of days, I was in love. This was my favourite city in the world and I decided to call it my new home. The dots had connected.

Good luck to all of this year’s Rockstars. Work hard, be respectful, and remember this moment a few years from now when you are living the dreams you have right now. I’ll see you gentlemen in Stockholm.

Regards,

Jeremy Soul

The Rockstars Have Been Chosen

Hey guys,

The final Rockstars have now been chosen. The names and backstories will be announced shortly.

If you submitted an application and you haven’t heard back from us, then unfortunately you have not been selected to take part in this year’s Project Rockstar.

Thanks to everyone who did send in an application. If we thought your application was strong, we contacted you and asked you to submit a video application.

The strongest video applications were then taken forward to final interview stage, and interviewed either with myself or another member of the Project Rockstar team.

We will post the video applications of the successful applicants shortly. I would highly advise for those of you wishing to get feedback on how to improve your application for next year’s Rockstar to watch these videos and try to see the kind of qualities that we look for in a Rockstar.

If you had a personal interview with us and were not selected as a candidate for Rockstar, we will contact you to give you personal feedback on why we didn’t take you forward.

I would also urge those of you who wish to still get involved in Rockstar to check out our Interns Board and/or if you think you could have skills to offer as a Rockstar mentor, to contact me directly.

Regards,

Jeremy Soul
