Andrew's A314 Success Journal

Store & Marketplace A314 Insider's Club

Earlier this year I had something wonderful happen. I also had something not so wonderful happen. Between those two events, I have created so many excuses as to why I could not be successful anymore. The worst part: the reasons are almost the same lame excuses I used before I started using pheromones.

Seeing that I was slipping and losing momentum, I had set limitations on when I would re-engage myself. Eventually I passed those limits, even after pushing them out further and further. I allowed myself to become lazy and complacent. I allowed myself to give up on my dreams and just settle.

Each day, since I stopped “living”, I have died a little bit on the inside. I am almost unrecognizable now. I may look very similar, but I do not feel like I am the same person. I feel empty, sad, and lonely. A shell of a man that could be so much more. I have been caught in some things that do matter, like my wife’s health, but also in so many more things that do not matter. Things that are not really who I am on the inside.

I remember hearing a tony Robbins recording once. He mentioned you can sit on the beach and drink only so many pina coladas. While I have not been able to get to the beach, nor drink any fruity type drinks, I understand what he was implying by that statement. Last night, I reached my tipping point. My most recent limitation was reached, when last night I spent all of the money I had saved in my old checking account. Its not that I am broke or anything. Nothing like that. I have been slowly spending the money in it to empty it out. A fun/party account if you will. I went to order the P96, that I noticed available, I ordered a low mcg, because I was not sure if there was a limit :slight_smile: I added a couple other things to the cart, and put my account info in. It was declined. I took something off, declined again. At this point I was like WTF! I updated my billing address, and ordered again. It went through. No big deal. Today when I checked, I had only 11 more dollars in it. I did not opt in to allow overdrafts so the first and second payments were declined. It must be a sign, because the lack of overdraft went into effect just yesterday. Today, I went to the store. I had just me and my son. I got him a toy and a special treat. I spent $15 on doughnuts. Just for myself. I rationalized it at the time. I thought it will be for everyone. It was not for everyone. It was just for me. I thought about my weight. I do not look fat, however I am at last weighing 201 lbs. I went up at least 25 lbs in last 3 months. I am also pretty fit, but I stopped working out a few months back. So I am carrying 25 pounds of fat now.

You may ask WTF this has to do with A314.

Today after the store I went home. I ate a couple of doughnuts. I was feeling low. I went to look at my pheromones. I saw that I had 6 bottles of A314 sitting there. One revision 21. Three revision 23. And two revision 25. They were lonely. I was lonely. I applied a couple drops. The real me smashed through the wall of laziness and self loathing that had been festering inside me. I crushed it down and stopped a hole in its ass so wide I could put all my excuses and self doubts inside the hole and tell it all to get the fuck out of my life. NOW. I then sat thinking about what I should do. I have not came to any definite conclusions as of right now. I have ideas though.

I know that I want to help people better themselves. I want to better myself. For me to be accountable, I need to keep a journal. I want to make sure I stay on track. I am going to do a new round of P90x. I am also going to look at learning better business skills.

First off will be persuasion skills. Thanks to Androtics Direct, I found a recording done by Kenrick Cleveland. Free at that! That has sparked interest in learning more for two reasons.
One: To be successful in business you need to be successful in persuasion.
Two: Many people want to use A314 in the most effective manner, and working on your persuasion skills will “teach” them how to use A314. It will teach how to watch for hits. It will teach you about yourself. It will increase your self confidence and help you rely on yourself and not just the pheromones. A314 will boost the skills you learn! To me that sounds fucking awesome!!!

I will post up techniques that I learn, as well as reports of my successes/failures when trying out the techniques I am working on. If you are an A314 user, and want to get in on it, then feel free to read my postings here. They will only be placed here in this post. No where else. If you want to report on your success then feel free to do that as well. Right here is fine with me. If you have questions or want to discuss anything that’s cool as well. I plan to keep this updated with lots of information so it will be an opportunity for anyone who purchases A314 to learn how to harness its unique power effectively.

I will also post up my results with doing P90x and some other stuff along with it. I also will eventually post some other goals as I define them, and results as I am working towards them.

Here goes nothing! :slight_smile:

Good luck

We’re all behind you bro

I was eyeing up p90x, does it actually work? Not like I really need it, But just skeptical of infomercials lol. Considered trying it.

4

I’ve done it.

But I don’t like the limitation when you have to go up in weight. Plus I don’t have a lot of room so its tougher too. If you already go you can try Mens Health - Huge in a hurry.

That works great too, plus its 45 min workouts

5

I’m not looking to put on anymore muscle than I already have lol, I just need to get “cut”

I’m at a healthy wait too. I am just on the verge of a six pack, never EVER have been able to tip that scale no matter what I have done though. Kinda looking for workout programs that may actually work lol. Because even when I was in the army, I still wasnt able to get my 6pack

6

Agreed. It works, but it has its limitations. It takes a good amount of time to do, but for the masses its easy and all planned out for you. When I got it, I did not have an opportunity to go to the gym nordid I have the room for a workout machine. It did not make me huge or anything. Great for strength though! No one believes I weigh 200 pounds. Usually guesses are around 175. LOL. Thats my body type.

7

Personally I am too lazy to worry about a 6 pack. I would rather enjoy eatting fatty foods! I think its just stripping away the layers of fat to get them to show. Bodybuilding dot com would have tons of info for you though.

P90x has a fat burning phase that is basically a diet that you do while working out for the 1st month. Worked well for me. It can be anexpensive diet though.

I do want to point out that the Kenrick Clevland recordings are available in the A314 forum. There is about 3 hours of recordings of him with the 5 top persuaders in the world. It was good material to start from. I am reading a book by Joel Bauer who is on the recording. His book is called “How to Persuade People Who Do Not Want to be Persuaded”. He is a tradeshow man… very good it seems. His style is very showmanish… not congruent with me. For people who are not afraid to say anything, he has an awesome way to do introductions. He makes his intros something that are unforgettable! They will hook whoever you speak with. I will post his pattern, or he does get into it in the above mentioned recording.

Besides the introduction, in the recording he mentions appearance. It is important. Dressing the part is very important. That is obvious, so I will not go into it too much. He talks about framing your face and hands when selling. He mentions what colors to wear. Again I will update the info when I listen.

The book gets into physical things you can do to change the way people think. If you can get them to lower their guard and look at the issue from another (your) point of view, then you are almost there. Again it has good info, but it is not my style… Yet maybe in the future it could be!

Buy Instanity

It works, but you gotta really go and do it.

I got really close and I hurt myself playing sports and I couldn’t get back on it. I’m starting in a couple of weeks once my schedule allows for it but definitely do that. Highly recommended.

Andrew8877, I think keeping a journal is a great idea. That way, if you find yourself starting to feel negative or demotivated, you can go back and read about your past successes.

My journal: A Kick in the Pants

Alright here is what I am going to work on at first. Simple stuff to start out with. Because I have not read anything on persuasion before I have always just used what works for me and have been fairly successful. Now that I am reading much of it makes sense, but there are a few small things I never considered.

These first two will be easy and something everyone should do, however I cannot recall ever meeting someonei n person that did this. Both of these tips were from a free source LOL

#1. Do not use the word “but”. No matter what you say before the word but in a sentence, the listener ignores and hears what comes after it. On top of that their brain tries to figure out what is behind your “but”. The result is that they automatically assume you disagree with them.

Not a good feeling you want to create in business or in personal relations!

The way around “but” is to replace it with the word “and”. Instead of placing a line in the sand with you two on opposite sides, even though you are saying the same thing, you appear to be on the same side.

Example: I want to give you a lower price, but I am unable to. - Leaves you and the customer on opposite sides of a price negotiation.

I want to give youa lower price and I am unable to. Leaves both of you on the same side.

#2. Remove the word “try”. When the word is used, the person using it means they do not intend to actually succeeding at doing what they are saying.

Pretty self explanatory. I knew this, but never tried to eliminate it from my conversations. An interesting note I picked up… People that use the word try in their conversation most likely use it in self talk internally. That means you are presupposing failure before you begin something.

Just remove it from a sentence. I will try to finish it. Not good. I will finish it. Way better. Keep others from using try as well. Correct them if necessary!

Where are these recordings in the a314 section? I have done searches and can’t seem to locate them.

13

Here ya go.

14

Does anyone have any experience with speaking in rhythm? I was fortunate to have a friend that has some cds that I am buying from him, he sent me a few mp3s off of the first one. It discusses purchasing a metronome. Setting it at 45 bpm and practice speaking to that beat. That speed seems to put people into a different state… The crazy thing, many evangelists speak at that same pace! Something to think about. I will be trying it out. I can just get a program on my phone.

15

Dress for Success…

Here is some stuff I picked up while reading, and listening to Joel Bauer’s stuff. It is common knowledge, but I want to put it here just for people that may not know, plus its the first step in being persuasive.

STEP #1

WRAP THE PACKAGE

Joel says to dress in a “Black Frame”

White shirt.
Yellow, white, or pink tie. NO designs.
Black suit. A nice expensive one.

If you are pasty white… do something about it. Even recommends a Clinique bronzer.

Shoes are IMPORTANT! This is the first thing people see and notice about you. Make the very first moment count.

Have a nice wrist watch.

Have clean fingernails.

If your client dresses like a million bucks, you dress like two million bucks.

DETAILS NEED TO BE EXTRODINARY!!!

This is the first crucial step. I agree. I am always overdressed in 99% of the places I go. I want people to notice me. Even if I do not converse with them, I still want to make some sort of impression so that if I am mentioned they will be able to know who I am by description.

I also agree that shoes are the first thing people notice. I have never been a shoe guy, until my wife came along. She does the shoe shopping, I get so many compliments on my shoes. More compliments than on anything else. Rappers do know what they are talking about!!!

I have a nice wrist watch. Along with that I also have a very nice bracelet and necklace that match. It is stainless steel, two-tone and a very very unique design. I have not seen anyone else with anything like it. They are the second most complimented things I have.

The only thing I see that is a strike against me, is my hair. I have a messy hair style, it is a little more outrageous than most though. I will have to tone it down some to “fit in”. It would give the impression of recklessness and inexperience to others.

The only thing here I may disagree with is that you do not always need to wear a suit. If you sell cell phones, you can still be dressy, but I feel a suit may be overdoing it a bit. It may even cause you to get less sales…

yeah, I’ve heard similar things when listening to Ross Jeffries discuss NLP, hypnosis and speed seduction and putting women into trance.

I practice pausing a lot at work.
he suggests taking something like a children’s nursery rhyme “mary had a little lamb” and pacing yourself with a metronome.

17

Actually I’m gonna enjoy reading your journal here…it’s all stuff I’m totally into and hey, I’ll start one alongside yours and share notes if you want me to.

I purchased some bronzer awhile back, and I like that my skin just looks healthier, has that glow. I also purchased some men’s products from Sephora an “anti-aging” kit. Will get the brand for you later.

I was out shopping with my niece yesterday and I was just telling her, I want a real nice Armani type jacket.
Even then you can wear something like a t-shirt, jacket and jeans and look nice, casual and sexy.
Change the shirt and pants, bam now your ready for elegance.

And shoes… women love the shoes… good thing I always had a thing for shoes.
Women dress up to impress other women, and everything a woman does with her clothing, accessories to make up gives off some information. They use this to judge guys too. If your shoes don’t match the belt, you might not get past hello…LOL

Good stuff Andrew, thanks again for sharing.

18

From what I have seen on the persuasion stuff, it is NLP. I have not heard anyone say it, or even mention it. However many of the phrases and concepts that are talked about are word for word in an NLP book. LOL

I want to not only help myself, but others as well. This is the best place to do it.

If you want to start up a journal, go ahead! Feel free to post here as well I do not mind one bit.

Unconscious Hello.

Unconscious Hello.

So I learned about this last night. Holy crap some good stuff right here. This is supposed to help build instant rapport with others. EVERYONE has an unconscious reaction that is displayed when they see a person they recognize. This reaction can be in the way they move their head, lips, eyes, eyebrows, facial expressions, or really anything that they do. The way to start noticing it is to watch people. Watch someone in public… see how their response differs when they walk past someone they do not know. See how they respond. Then see how that response differs when they see someone they know. There is a reaction that you want to learn to pick up on. The key is that the reaction occurs about 30 feet away. When you learn to see the reactions, the goal is to do the exact same thing back to them. Respond the same way and you two will have built an instant rapport before you even say hello.

This is something that is amazing IMO. Think about how this one little thing can change the outcome of so many things. I imagine if you were trying to pick up on women, this would skyrocket your game immensely! A woman would already have a small feeling of rapport (i.e. TRUST) before you even were introduced! A client that you are trying to sell to… yeah you get the idea! This is a game changer.

The bad news. Its hard to do. I listened to some stuff about it, went online and read about it, got tips and visualized how it would go down. I was pumped! I felt prepared.

This morning, I woke up and went to Mcd’s. I chose to do this, because I know a woman that works there. She use to be the girlfriend of a neighbor of mine several months back. I have not seen her in a while, but I knew she worked the early morning drive thru shift. My plan was to see her reaction and respond in kind. Everything went according to plan, she was in the drive thru. The issue: I did not see the reaction. LOL I did not respond. It made the situation somewhat awkward. I felt like I was looking at her too intensely. I guess its why its recommended to watch people first at a store. That way you can come off a bit weird and its ok! :slight_smile: First attempt a failure!

This will be a skill that I will master. I will focus on this and using the metronome to learn about speaking in rhythm. I got a metronome program for my phone last night. It works as expected. I will practice using it tonight.

A314 Tips

Because this forum is about A314, I want to throw some tips out for using A314. This is all my opinion. If yours differs… well that’s fine. I use what works for me :slight_smile:

When I am not working on a mix, I wear A314 6 days a week. I have a different schedule than most, so I take a shower (daily) late morning. After my shower, I put on my deodorant then I put on 2 drops of A314. I apply it to my upper chest area. Below my neck above my pecs. I rub it in. This is for self effect. I do this because I want to stay in the same mindset at all times. My goal is to become the A314 guy. I do not want to be perceived as one, but end up being a let down later. Similar to a dirty one night stand, great until you wake up the next morning! By now, I have used A314 for over a year, and have assimilated most of the qualities I get from the self effects. Still its a nice maintenance tool.

I have recently came into possession of a 30 ml bottle of Akuto scented Perfumers alcohol. It smells almost dead on to the scent of A314. I assume that it is the 6% version, however it does not say on the bottle.(I PM’d Steve about it, but unfortunately no response) I do not care for Akuto in other products. It is strong and frankly it gives me a burning feeling in my lungs after wearing it all day long. The perfumers alcohol does not do this. It is smooth like A314 scent. The reason I am talking about this, is because of Pavlov. I am trained to respond to the scent of A314. I now apply 2 sprays of the Akuto, after I put on my A314. It not only smells great, but I respond to the scent in a very positive manner. Therefore I get an increased response from just the scent alone.

If I could have just 1 putative to use with my A314 it would be… P106. I know that is from left field. P106 has not been reported on that much. If I wanted to name it, I would call it NSYNC. Not because it is like a pussy boy band. No. It puts things in sync. I used to play this game with my friend. We called it wavelength. We hypothesized that men and women operate on different wavelengths. So we would talk using our wavelength in front of our dates and we understood each other perfectly, however the women would not. We were on the same level. P106 does this, but for everyone. It puts them on your wavelength. It increases rapport. Communication lines are wide open. Paired with A314, others are still on your wavelength, but they want to advise you of options that would not normally be available. Example. My wife tried to return a defective item at the store without a receipt. I was not with her. They were giving her problems. I walked up wondering what was taking so long. A few moments later the clerks demeanor changed. They told me they could not give a refund, but they could get approval to exchange it, even though it was not policy to. He did not have to do this. He could have held his ground. P106 put us on the same wavelength. We had rapport. He felt our pain and went out of his way to fix the situation. Warren as well as I have posts about P106 if you care to look. It has not been in stock for a long time. I use 20 mcg.

If you need balls and want to feel like the “Number One Stunna”… A314 IJ and IO. Works like a charm.
