Project Rockstar 2010 – Application FAQ

Project Rockstar 2010 has been officially announced.

This year it’s being spearheaded by Jeremy Soul, and is going to be set in London and Stockholm (also known as heaven on Earth). I expect this year’s Project Rockstar to be vastly different from last years – different emphases, less hectic travel schedules, hopefully less swine flu… and for the first time ever, the inclusion of both female participants and dating coaches.

Small side tangent:

Soul, Starlight and myself did an experimental “trial run” last week in San Francisco – we took a group of 6 women out on the town, and taught them how to cold approach and talk to guys. Starlight has a copy of the mindmap we came up with over at his blog: http://www.thestarlightblog.com/2010/02/girl-game-girls-get-a-strategy-to-meet-mr-right-in-san-francisco/

The distinctions we came up with are pretty fascinating. Openers work differently, the structure of emotional progression works differently, and going for the “close” goes differently.

It was a great learning experience all around, and I’m sure I’ll share some of the insights with some of my female friends over the coming weeks.

Back to Project Rockstar:

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about if people should apply, how much it’s going to cost, was it worth it, what’s involved, how to write an application etc etc… so I thought I’d answer some of the more common questions here.

Who is this suitable for?

If you are male, or female, and want more out of your life in general, you should consider applying. You are going to learn more than just how to date pretty much whoever you want – you are going to learn about social circles, about different ways to make and manage money, and different ways to live your life. The way it turned out last year, the remaining Rockstars at the end were all around 20-30 years of age. I don’t think that age matters that much if you are committed to making a change if your life. If you think you have what it takes – apply!

How much will/did it cost?

The answer is: it depends. If you live in the UK and you plan properly, you can probably do it for $2,000 or so. If you live abroad, you have to factor in plane tickets to-and-from Europe. I personally spent about $15,000 last year, though that was flying business class to-and-from the US, staying in nice hotels and eating out most of the time. Living in a convenient area in London, perhaps striking up a deal with a local Chinese restaurant to deliver takeout nightly and good planning will go a long way to reducing your costs.

Was it worth it?

Absolutely. Two events stand out to me from last year: 1) When my business started to take off, and 2) Project Rockstar. I saw it as an 8-week investment into improving my life – a chance to get away from old anchors and habitual patterns, and to both do something different and learn about a completely new way of living socially. It really comes down to asking if you’re willing to put on hold everything in your life for 6 (in my case 8 ) weeks, and walk away with more mentors, knowledge, experience, contacts and capabilities than the average person acquires over 2 lifetimes. Over that 8 weeks I also made friendships that will be with me for the rest of my life. Was it worth it? Fuck yeah.

How has life been since Project Rockstar?

I’m not going to go into personal details, but… one of the models we learnt over Project Rockstar was that of Health, Wealth and Relationships. I personally like to add in an extra section that I call “Happiness”. My life has gained momentum in all four areas since the end of Project Rockstar. I am doing things in all four areas that I would never have considered possible before. More importantly, it is continuing to gain momentum, and I have a much clearer picture of where I am headed over the next couple of years.

Will you (Whim) be involved in Project Rockstar 2010?

Most likely yes, I’ll be involved as a mentor. I am keen on teaching some online marketing strategies to the Rockstars for 2010, probably closer to the end of the program. I will also likely teach modules in productivity and efficiency – I taught a Cliff Notes version to the Rockstars as an impromptu session last year, and it blew them (and the lucky Rockstar mentors who got cc’d on the email) away.

What should I write in my application?

Ahhh… The million dollar question. It really depends – what sort of person are you, and how much effort are you willing to put in?

This is almost like a job or college application – take your time, think it through, present your best self, and use proper grammar and punctuation.

Keychain actually has a great guide up here: http://www.adventuresofkeychain.com/2009/06/18/how-to-get-into-project-rockstar-09-directors-cut/ – I actually wish I had seen that last year

Here’s what I did to write my application last year:

1. Read the entire Project Rockstar 2008 thread. If you’re on The Lounge, you can see the notes I posted up as a summary from it. This year you have the threads from 2008 and 2009 to read.
2. Read everything Mr M has ever published. This year my suggestion would be read and watch everything Jeremy Soul has up online.
3. Wrote a preliminary draft.
4. Mulled over it for a week.
5. Reread my draft, and rewrote it.
6. Thought long and hard about what value I could bring to the program – what does someone like Mr M / Soul value? What value can I bring to their lives by being part of Rockstar? What value can I bring to the other Rockstars by being part of the program?
   
7. Rewrote my application again.
8. Gave my application to a bunch of friends who I innately trust, to read and reread and proofread.
9. Rewrote my application again.
10. Sent it in.

More tips:

• Use proper grammar and punctuation. I can’t emphasise this enough.
• Don’t be afraid to ask. Alex Flair, Micha and myself have all offered to field questions on The Attraction Forums for people interested – so ask away.
• First-received-first-read. Applications are being taken on a rolling basis this year, so the sooner you get it done, the higher your chances of being selected.
• Be honest. Present your best self, but tell the truth.
• Reputation is everything. A lot of you have likely been on Love Systems programs, and have rapport with your former instructors/approach coaches. I’m not saying that it’ll help, but you know a huge part of Project Rockstar is social networking…
• Go for maximum impact. Get to the point and convey your passion – for life! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So make it count.

THE END……What Have I learned…

I not really sure what this impact have had on my life but I think it definitely changed the way my children’s going to look.

I came here high on life after I got the call from Mr.M that Monday 13 days before rockstar. I don’t think I told anybody that I applied a while before so it probably came as a shock to somebody “dad” around me. I don’t think that I’ve been more excited about anything in my life this was as cool as it would be.  I came here with the aspirations to become a dating coach then go to school a few months later. I was going to start up a form an e-commerce then stay behind in London just hitting the clubs and be sarging like crazy. I was on a high in life.

I don’t think I could have been more wrong of what to expect, I now know that not even the people organizing this “event” knew what was supposed to be the product of it.  It was crazy in the begin and I’m not surprised that one dropped out.

So am I disappointed at the experience that this has been. Absolutely not, this has been such a learning experienced that has open up my eyes for what’s possible for me in my life. Partially because the things we were taught and mostly because the people that I’ve met during the journey.

This was marketed as away to work and wealth, health and relationships. Well I took and threw the health part out of the window when it came down to choose what to do in the schedule that didn’t have room for anything. So with two things to focus on you might think that I would have time to work hard on them, but no. I don’t really remember anything the first weeks of rockstar so it’s going to be interesting to read the book and to go back on my blogposts.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED THEN…

Game: Game is f*****n easy and fun. I have some kickass memories with the guys out hitting on women. We all came here as “ordinary” people not socially awkward and some beginner’s skill in game, we were all very different in the way we interacted with women and turned in to a cool crew of guys. I came in with a clunky outer game and poor inner game. My biggest problem with women was that I had no skills in how to create the emotional connection with woman. I had easier to pull same night lays and being sexual, which turned out to be a good skill in Vegas. I look back at what I’ve learned in all these classes and I can’t really remember. I now have a moleskine notebook full of notes that I need to goo trough and map out. But I know that I’m really good now. How can I do that if I can’t put my fingers on what I’ve learned? It’s more of a feeling inside of me, I’ve had more than enough of positive reference experience with women now to now that I’m good.  I don’t know if there is anything that scares me on a night with a roll probably, but I’ll most likely do it anyway.

What is that I feel? I would like to say that I feel more complete as a man of what I can do, I’m not controlled by my fears. I can run after a beautiful woman if I see her on the streets. I don’t have to wonder what if I did approach her. I came here with a desire to connect with women and not to sleep with as many as possible. I think I coming really close to my goal I’ve been seeing one girl now for little while and it’s a good and new feeling to hang out with her.  It has also removed my desire to go after absolutely everything with two legs and breast that’s hot. I don’t know why, but she told me I could go on as usual since I’m a part of rockstar. I have honestly tried to hit on other women but I don’t have any desire for the moment and I have now abounded the idea of me being a guy that would like multiple relationships.  I would actually give it a go if I was staying in London with this girl, but for now I just enjoy the good feeling she is giving me, who knows what can happen in the future. I now feel comfortable with the idea that I can build relationships with women. So I can’t say anything more than mission accomplished, and thanks to all the instructors and fellow rockstars that has been there for the journey.

Business: I have now started to think about life in completely different new angle of what is possible to do for a living. I come from a blue collar family where it’s taking pride to work for the system and being a part of society and pull your weight. Practically all my friends in my hometown are hard workers in some form, and so is my family. I never even thought in the terms that we have been talking about here in rockstar.  I had some small ideas but nothing this planned out, I now know where I’m going and what I’m setting out to do. I now know where to aim my energy thanks to fellow rockstar and now friend Aaron. He showed me what is possible in the world of online marketing and talked and inspired with his way of life. The more we talked the more I saw how I think it suits me as a worker, and I’m now setting out to hit my goals. I came here to e inspired and to learn new ways of making a living. I know that I can work the living shit out of my body and be pulling 80 workweeks in freezing cold snow and water whipping up on. I’m now 27 almost 28 years old and I can already feel how my body is going to fall apart due to damage I got from working my ass off for somebody else. I’m never going to back to way of life I was living before it’s just not a possibility in my reality. I know look for the feeling in this area of life as I have with women. It’s the feeling of you don’t care if you lose, you can always get more money/women. I GOT THIS SHIT HANDLED. It means that there is room for improvement but you know what you are doing. So get back to me in three months and we will see where I am. I will consider that my goal here is almost achieved as it changed so much during the path of rockstar, but I’m happy with the outcome of it.

Health: well I have had two home cooked meals since I entered rockstar, both of them thanks to my dear friend that I stayed with in Stockholm. So as you may imagine I’m not in any better shape than before I was rockstar. I made it an active choice to skip training and focus my time on other the other task since I got easy access to this since before.  I got a diet and workout schedule being taken care of as soon as I touch ground in my hometown anyway.

So what’s going to happen now, well I’m going to my home town until at least New Years Eve. My purpose is to too work in peace and quiet, since I’m really tired of the shitty living standard the London flats have to offer at staggering prices. I’m going back to Sweden as results in the debate where I would get the most work done. But I’ll be back out in the world really soon. The goal is to join the other Rockstar in mars to start a real rockstar mansion hitting it big in the states. Yes it will be revealed later but we’re all going to take our supernova to the max. Be sure to check out this blog later next year.

Instructorship: Do I still want to be an dating coach? Do I want to be a part of the community? The dreaded LSS!!! These are questions that I asked myself and I’m not as sure as I was eight weeks ago. First of all rockstar has been a lot of Approach coaching since it’s a good way to become good yourself and teaching others, a little bit too much in my taste. I didn’t really feel that competent in the beginning at first, I have now risen to the challenge and feel comfortable taking a newbie out and help him, I don’t enjoy it really today thouh.  I really need some time away before I can take a decision in if I want to peruse the goal of instructorship. Because what guys don’t get is you don’t get paid to go out and pick up women, you get paid to go out to hold grown man in the hand and tell them that the hot blonde over there won’t kill you when you tell her she looks good. I can and have approached instead of sending away student to women when I was AC’ing during rockstar and I don’t regret it. That’s how I had some of the most interesting interactions so far, and how I met some of the most interesting people around the world. I will make up my mind to New years eve if this is something I want to put my time and effort in. But in the meantime if you’re in Oslo at the end of this month 28th of Nov make sure to check out Day Game expert Jeremy Soul. He’s having one of his day game seminar and I will be there to help out.

But tanks to all the readers this has been super fun and I will get out of the community, at least for a while but you never know. I need to focus on other thing in my life right now.

The guys I would like to thanks for this awesome experience are:

Vishal (cya NYE)

Aaron, Alex, Josh (rockstar mansion Vegas is waiting for us)

Jeremy Soul (cya NYE and thnx for the time in STHLM)

Vercetti you big hug bear….

All the instructor and business mentors that have been there and a part of this journey thanks for your contribution, 5.0, Sheriff, Jeff, Kunal, London wizard, Paladin, Alex Sargent and a few more. I hope to meet up with a lot of you guys again.

Last to be mentioned Mr.M you have had a huge impact on the way my life turned out, and you keep on having a huge influence in my life. A really hope I can show you my gratitude one day but for now SUCK IT.

Stay classy

Superconferance Sunday

Knackered, this town eats me up. I don’t drink when I roll out, but I still feel and look like a train wreck after these vegas nights. They probably consist of 3-4 hours of actual sleep somewhere in the morning at 8 a clock til noon. A lot of red bull have been downed this weekend and a few power naps as well.

This was the last day of superconfarance and it feels good. I ended up taking a walk later when the sun was setting with Vishal and Jeremy Soul. We ended up having a real good conversation as usual with Jeremy. He has ended up as the Father/shrink to the rockstars that we go to for advice. It has developed a genuine friendship there that I will treasure after rockstar is over. We usually talk about more then game and more home into what we want out of life. We almost got to the strip before people started to call after us that we needed to be back.

The end of the superconferance was crowning the instructor of the year, and it was Future beating jeremy soul with two votes. Future deserved it he was hilarious all the way trough, and was very genuine in his speech afterwards.

After the ending we all headed up to our rooms for a quick power nap before Savoy’s birthday party at the Body English. Powernap+Vegas+Micha=disaster, I overslept 2 hours and arrived almost 1 am only to meat the toughest crowd yet. I did my usual game but nothing was sticking, I just kept getting shot down on my approach at least until an hour in. Then Boom she hooked I just grabbed her and starting talking, half an hour later we bounce to my room. There we spent the night talking away there was something special about this one. I’m really happy that I met Jeremy Soul so I got to appreciate a good conversation with a woman. This one was a challenging one, who i might see her again.

Happy Vegas story.

Second day of Sthlm shenanigans….‏

Woke up rested, I even had to pinch my arm. This is true it can happen during rockstar.

Took the tube out in a wonderful fall morning the sun was shining trough, and the air was fresh. I have this gut feeling that it will be an awesome day, one of those gut feelings thayt it will be awesome.

The second council meeting came up, this time out of nowhere so I started to think what it was is about. It was a different experience this time and more like a group therapy. Hi I’m Micha and I’m an addict. it was a really good one and everybody got out what they wanted to get out of this. These council meeting always stir up some worried thoughts, even tough I know now that I always feel better after each one.

This day was all about game both day and night. I started by missing everybody after lunch. Had to run around town like an ass and finally catching up with people, it kill state as much as standing in line forever in front of a club.

Then I ran into the group with Soul and a journalist. I just walked around to begin an was grumpy and not in a mood at all, did a few tries and nothing hooked. I even switched groups as we ran into Bugsy and Alex.

Boooom it finally hooked. She was blond had a killer hair and was really “dolled” up and cute. Everything changed from that set. She changed my perspective about day game. I lost Bugsy and Alex and ran into my a few others and had a blast with them. I had a few really good set that day but there’s one that will stick in my mind forever.

1. I notice her passing buy with curly blonde hair. She had that confident walk and a killer pink jacket. Everybody noticed her, I made sure that I got to her before anybody else. I did the usual thing, tapped her very light on the arm and “excuse me”. Then it happend she turned around and I got so fuckin nervous that I don’t know where to go. She is not only a perfect ten but a multimillion dollar selling record artist. The only thing I could utter was you’re making me so nervous and she smiled and walked on. For you who knows she was part of swedish teen group that did abba covers(A-teens Marie Sernholt). I then walked of and laughed about my self. It’s really fun how beuty can scare me like this, it’s moments like this that make’s it all worth it.

Ok there’s a few more sets that worth mentioning.

2. Me and Vish (btw he’s a kick ass wing) see them walk out of the coffee shop and I look at him and he’s on. We race out of there jogging our way just to stop a few steps behind and walking up to them ” excuse me I just notice bla bla bla b…..” Introduced Vish divide and conquer have them laughing light kino building the tension. No closing with a real ease end getting BBM as well, I really love this.

If you want to know this feeling take soul’s day game seminar and start with day game it’s wicked.

I double back to my mate’s place after an awesome day with awesome game with Vishal and Soul. It’s an epic day that I never will forget. Grab a shower and a power nap heading down to the hotel and meeting up in the bar. Everybody is there and ready to head out. Hi-Roller’s friend hooks us up with a club called ambasadeur. It’s a high end place packed with 8’s and 9’s plastic girls. I’m way to much in day game mode and have mediocre succes.  I open a beutiful one in the bar and she’s almost on, she the grabs my “d**k” and tell me her boyfriend across the bar and that I look really good and wishes me luck. I like the swedish women

The music is pumping really loud and we decide to hit the streets and any other random bar. Aaron had some fair success that he probably will write about.

Mc Donalds the place after a long night and we grab a few burgers. Out of nowhere in the packed queue a serious fight break out with at least 10 people involved we sit. As the turbulence spread out of mc donalds people stand up and trying to get out of the way to not get invloved. Everybody except the small asian kid Aaron who sits there showing down chicken nuggets like he’s Chuck Norris “sit down boys”.

This a small portion of what I remembered of this day.

Realizations.

1. Beauty still gives me a rush and make me nervous. I guess it always will be there.

2. The need for your mastery topics during daygame is crucial for me. Starting to figure them out.

3. I love day game because I really, really like to have quality conversation with a interesting girl.

Ps. We found the perfect spitroast but someone in the team thought she was to drunk.

Day game in stockholm

Stockholm there might be a chance that I’m moving back to that city. This has been a wonderful stop with some good realizations, and YES swedish women are exactly as you thought (f**kin hot). Like mystery says women of extreme beauty rarely go alone except in Sweden night time when the average is 8. God I love this place, I now know why Soul moved here.

This was an interesting trip and the schedule was a little more relaxed then usual. Soul had really put the emphasis on that we should enjoy Stockholm. I still atended to everything except one night session (ended up in food coma on my best friends couch after having a monster dinner.)

The first day Soul had his day game seminar, I’ve taken it before bit it all made more sense now. I know that it’s due to my extensive time in the field. I really love this seminar and to hear it from Soul him self. This a dating coach like nobody else. He bring’s in a passion and care like I haven’t seen. It’s easy to like him and relate to him. He is just like a child when it comes to expressing himself in the face, and he talks like a woman.

I’m not going to go in the technical stuff if you want to you need to attends one of his seminars. I think it’s definitively worth it if you want some easy to listen guidelines if you want to handle this area.

We had some guest at the seminar, reporters. Some people like them some hate them, I love them. You should look in this weeks Aftenposten A-Magasinet if you live in Norway I’m featured with keychain, that’s fun. This time the reporters came from swedish Metro, Amelia and www.thelocal.se.

We then decided to head out after the interviews to take some pictures. If you ever tried to game some women with a camera up her ass, join the club. Can anybody give me good answer to, why is that weird woman taking pictures.  The photographer was a pain in the ass with camera. She was sweet and doing her job, it’s just hard to “deliever” like that. I really like it because of the attention. We then headed back to dump the reporters and switch intructor/students. I did the sets as I saw them, I just didn’t see the fun in  walking around in cold stockholm chasing women. It turned out to be an awful day result wise but sure a bit of fun.

I then had a date with my best friend that I was staying with that was awesome. This was the first homecooked meal of food since 3 days before project rockstar. We had some swedish herring for starters prepared on sandwich, and a really good homemade chili.  No women on this earth could pulled me of the chouch, I crashed dead tired 9 am. It was a wonderful feeling just to dose of to a episode of entourage.

Realization today.

1. Swedish women are the hottest int the world(didn’t notice that until I spent a few weeks in London)

2. It’s extremely hard to “game” a girl that get a camerlense up her ass without telling her what’s going on.

Day 21: Recovery

After yesterday’s craziness today was spent in downtime and recovery.

We had a morning theory session with Soul about flakes and other daygame-related topics.

Here’s what we talked about:

• Once you’re good at attraction the rest is logistical and emotional management.
• You can plug in qualification and comfort when you see you don’t have it (in real time in set).
• Sexual tension should only be relieved when she’s on your bed.
• Act like sex isn’t a big deal until it actually becomes not a big deal.
• Women love sex.

On flakes:

• Flakes from bad game, missing attraction, comfort, qualification.
• Set up dates during the interaction rather than going for a number.
• You will get flakes, as your game gets better they go away.
• You never know what’s going on in a girl’s life, so don’t take it personally.
