Just got back from Alaska with the GF (no northern lights this time, too much fog and snow), and had an awesome time.
I seriously could have just stayed up there, but may have needed you guys to help get Kali up to me.
16 degrees in a t-shirt was a little rough, but would MUCH rather deal with the cold than the heat here in Phx!
It's raining and cold here in Phx and think one of the kids up there got me sick. So laying low tonight, and that got me thinking about the New Years that started all of this back in 2005.
I was just stood up, watching 3 fireworks shows from my cool bachelor pad, drinking some Maker's Mark, alone, and KNOWING that my X was off with her new BF having the time of her life...
I was 25 years old and my divorce was made official less than 24 hours before.
It was the lowest point in my life.
As I looked down at my whiskey, I made a choice. I would make 2006 my bitch.
I knew I had been doing things wrong for the last 25 years of my life, that change would take time and would be difficult, so I gave myself one year to figure this shit out.
I had no other options.
If I wanted to survive, it was either sink or swim....
I said fuck it, I wanted to FLY!
So January 1st I started my self improvement journey.
The jug of protein powder that was covered in dust, was cleaned up and cracked open again.
I got up early and worked out.
I started looking for a new job, and found one at a Yoga studio (a total 180 from the gun range life) that I was shortly after co-running.
I started talking to every attractive girl I could find, and basically doing the opposite of what my inner negative voice was telling me.
"She wouldn't like a guy like you, she probably has a boyfriend anyways"
NO SHE WOULD LOVE A GUY LIKE ME AND EVEN IF SHE DOES HAVE A BOYFRIEND, SHE WOULD DUMP HIM FOR ME!
Slowly things started improving...then I found out about THE GAME and all of the fuel I had been adding to the fire erupted.
I made 2006 my bitch, and in 2007 Style moved me out to Hollywood to help teach and share all of the skills I had learned during that year. (which then led to where I am now)
2014 is over in HOURS
Are you happy with the progress you made in the last year?
Did you have any goals you were working on, that were accomplished? Or ones that weren't?
2015 will be here, maybe before you even read this email.
Even if you were happy with 2014, do you want to make 2015 even better?
If so, then let me know.
If I get enough guys who are serious about making 2015 their bitch, then I will try my best to help you along the way, but you have to convince me that you are serious!
I am living proof of what is possible if you apply yourself...and I am just some guy.
Imagine what is possible for YOU.
-to close out my flashback story, now 9 years later, I will be laying low on New Years again. The difference is, it is because I want to. I won't be alone, I will be with my GF, I am already looking forward to this coming year (Pieces in place for some big life changes coming soon) and have an awesome tactical VIP / Executive Protection Course coming up (still about 2 spots left hit my site for info about that) http://bravopua.com/ , Johnny's event in Vegas in a few weeks (just posted about that on Facebook, let me know if you want to go and I can get you a hook up), 1on1s already booked for this coming year, martial arts training and seminars, survival training and preparing, a road trip with a few Bravohood brothers in the works, and more.
2015 is already my bitch, and it hasn't even come yet.
Just imagine what is waiting for you, if you make it.
Ready to make 2015 your bitch?

Ok, I'll bite. My 2014 was a disappointment in many ways, compared to what I wanted to accomplish and where I wanted to get to in life. When I first moved here to LA, in 2011, I came here on a mission to sell screenplays, which has been a dream of mine for quite some time now. I've had work with the major studios and production companies here, but haven't gotten anywhere I wanted.
My recession back into major AFC territory prevented me from making the connections I wanted to in the industry; as a result my dating/sex life diminished in a terrible way by 2012, after my ex dumped me -- presumably for someone else.
Flash-forward to today, and I am struggling to replace a marijuana habit (that's only made things worse) with healthier activities, such as working out, learning martial arts, doing a hell of a lot more writing, and getting in touch with my inner Alpha, so I can pull it all together.
We met through a mutual friend in LA when we went to dinner with he and RJ. Your comments on my general fashion style and taking control of my life planted a seed in my head.
To say that I want to make 2015 my bitch would be an understatement -- I WILL MAKE IT MY BITCH, but could definitely benefit from some help and insight along the way.
I'd love to meet some of the other PUA's in Hollywood -- I'm fearless with approaching and a damn good wingman. My problem has always been closing -- with work, with women, with goals -- CLOSING is new goal. Would love to hear about what you may offer in the future...
Thanks

Re: Ready to make 2015 your bitch?
Do you know how many guys would have paid $$$ to just be at that dinner? You were there for free and what did you do with it?
What are your goals for the next week?
30 days? 6 months and 2015?

Re: Ready to make 2015 your bitch?
Honestly, since that time, I didn't do anything with it. I saw what a waste I made of it. Now looking forward -- my goal this week is to finish a current script I am working on, meet up with a girl from tinder, and get three new numbers from cold approaching -- which I haven't done in a long time.
By the end of the month, I want to have full Hollywood representation, a quality woman I can see once a week, and to continue cold approaching and working on my game until it feels like something I am in control of. Also, this month I plan to FINALLY sign up for that judo course, now that I have a new job.
Six months, I expect to be finalizing the contract of my first sold script, getting invites to tons of HW events from the ppl I'll be working with, and dating 2-3 quality women. I expect to be more confident from the martial arts and approaching I've been doing. I'll have enough money saved up for coaching, too, since my debt will be cleared by then.
By 2015, I want to have at least 3-4 HW script assignments under my belt, and prepare for the release of my first movie by early 2016. Hopefully by then, I'll have mastered a few skills from pickup, and it is becoming a natural part of me.

Re: Ready to make 2015 your bitch?
Hey Bravo...so i'm here posting in the thread! about making 2015 my bitch...I won't post too much here yet, but in the process of defining my goals. I do have a motto for the year though and that is "do". Not say, do.
Not only related to chicks but to my career art goals in 2015 to begin painting modern pulp and pinup themes and continue my work in pinup photography. But also to level up with self-defense by taking your course. To work on investing. Other things.
But my specific area of weakness is the whole pickup area. I've been frozen in time. Blue forever. I need to hit the reset button and begin again from first principles. I've had a whiffed year or so after some crazy shit happened (which would have made some good lay reports) and I just pulled back from everything. Not good, but I did. So now need to restart. I feel like I need help along the way. Been trying too long to beat my head against the proverbial brick wall and try to figure it out myself and end up not make progress.
My online game has never really worked well. My in field thing is non-existent at present. So my biggest goals are to level up the online thing, get out there approaching IRL and especially getting day game handled in a way I really haven't done up to now. My biggest weaknesses are opening in the first place and generating attraction. If I can make progress in those two areas, to the point where I understand how to spark attraction consistently in a better way than I do now, I think will be on the road to glory.
Oh and the third thing is I need an attitude readjustment along the lines you outlined above in your post. About how you used to think in AFC terms about "she'd never date a guy like me" and turning it to "she'd love to meet me, I am the answer to her prayers", etc. I could use a core-dump of attitude definitely. Reframe everything. Somehow, I find it difficult to become Rigel. Everyone knows me as something else (including myself).
Anyway, i'm trying to distill this into a list I can wrap my head around for 2015...
