A314 newbie - Am I doing something wrong?

Store & Marketplace A314 Insider's Club

I received my A314 this week and have been testing it since I got it (about 4 days).

I know this product is much more involved, takes more effort and the effects are much more subtle than the other instant “spray-and-go” line products.

However when wearing A314, I do not really see any obvious positive reactions from others and do not feel any self-effects. I might be getting positive reactions, but for most I cannot really give credit to A314. I’ll admit, I am not giving a huge effort to be “Alpha” and congruent with A314, as so far I have been relying on the self-effects of mones to help with being congruent.

Do I need to be completely congruent to see any sort of results? If so, how should I start this “quest” to becoming more Alpha?

I am definitely willing to be patient (I heard results are not clear until a month+) but I just want to make sure I am not doing something totally wrong, so I can avoid wasting time and my A314.

Thanks!

Hey Blazin :slight_smile:

Well, congruency IS a key factor but to say if you’re acting congruent enough with it or not, is hard to say. Are you quiet, introverted (keep to yourself), are you extroverted (energetic, outgoing etc)? Being introverted can be more of a hindrance than anything. Now I see you’ve been with us for a few months now, have you had a chance to read through some of the long term journals here? That’s how I got a good idea as to what to look for in personality changes from anyone around me, key factors for me to keep in mind, body language, etc. That last one one is also a big one. Tisha recommended a really great book on body language. It’s called “What is is every BODY saying?” Body language can be just as powerful if not more so than anything A314 puts out, which is a part of congruency. The common saying around here is if you’re wearing a314 and IO but you’re sitting in a corner, shoulders hunched down, no one is going to think you’re an alpha male, just by your body language.

The quest to become an alpha does take a while but it’s a good idea to get an idea as to what you’re looking to achieve. Body Language, clothing style, hair style, even your voice can play a huge factor into how you’re perceived. The common mistake that I’ve seen and even fell into myself was that A314 would help boost me up to alpha and in a way, it did, but not by it alone. By realizing I had to be congruent with the signature, I had to start changing how I behaved, carried myself, etc. It’s funny, in the effort to become more alpha, we try a314. Then realizing we had to become more congruent with the signature, we try to become more alpha to match the signature of a314 all the while, we’re becoming alphas on our own. At that point, A314 can really shine through and help move things along.

Also another thing I would suggest, Mobocaster has a great thread in here that I have to catch up on, A314 and the international set. It’s a good read and you can pick up some useful ideas as to what to look for. I’m sure I won’t be the only person who chimes in here and I certainly hope I’m not, the more advice on this, the better. Lastly, how many drops per day are you using? Or are you using the spray? As an fyi, the spray is better suited for winter time (especially in Canada) unless you’re inside most of the time. The diffusion of oil based products is a bit slower when it’s cold.

Thanks for the reply 2000GT!

It’ll be useful if I say a bit about myself and the testing I’ve done:

I would consider myself pretty confident, though I prefer to be introverted and reserved. Though often I can be very extroverted, I guess it has something to do with my mood, who I am with and other factors. When it happens, it is without effort, it just happens. I’ve found it is hard to make the conscious decision to be extroverted and then do it. Good thing is, I’ve been testing AMMO, IS, IO and IH for the past month and almost every time I wear it I become that extroverted side of myself. And of course, I love it :smiley:

I am pretty familiar with body language and it’s effects on the way others perceive you. I used to study it a lot a couple years back, though I am prepared to read that book you recommended. So anyways, I am always portraying to obvious signs of an Alpha (ie. good posture, strong eye contact) but since I am not naturally Alpha, I am sure I am missing out on the more subtle clues. I am usually never that bad - wearing A314 and IO while sitting crouched in the corner - so I am stumped as to how A314 can push me to be more Alpha-like if I don’t get self-effects.

For my testing, I have been playing around with 2 drops of the oil version on my neck and wrists. It is cold here in Canada, but I know diffusion is horrible in cold and dry weather so I am not expecting much while outdoors. I have mainly been testing indoors at my work place (office building) and restaurants with friends, etc. I do see some really subtle signs from those around me, but with the exception of some reactions, it is hard to give credit to A314 when it could easily just be myself (yes, they are that subtle). When testing, I have not been completely introverted and reserved, but at the same time, I am not the super extrovert that I am with AMMO and IS on, for example.

I am getting the idea that I need to really go through some self-improvement to really bring out the effectiveness of A314. I am totally down to do that, but I have a question.. If I make the active/conscious effort to be Alpha, how would A314 even help (assuming I get no self-effects from it)? Couldn’t I just be Alpha without the A314, and get the same results?

A314 doesn’t really work like that in expecting to see hits. You can you really tell if someone thinks your confident or the leader? Many people will leave you alone.

However we got together as a community and came up with these signs, you might want to have a look at: How do you know that A314 is working?

Thanks for the link Steve!

I actually take back what I said, all I needed was time, patience and some adjustment to become more Alpha. I am definitely seeing results now, albeit they are pretty subtle.

Things would happen and I would think afterwards “Waaaaaaait a minute, did that just happen? must be the A314…” I love it!
