Are You a Collector?

I ran across a blog post from Ross Jeffries this morning. He was introducing a joint venture with Style--which is somewhat surpising since Style painted a pretty unflattering picture of him in The Game. Apparently he's gotten over it.

Anyway, Ross describes Style as having "a very unusual business model that I think can facilitate learning and avoid the “collect it but don’t use it” trap." He then goes on to say, "You see, one of the things I’ve noticed over the years is that many students of this field are collectors. They’ve got stuff from me, stuff from a bazillion imitators and impersonators, they are seminar junkies, product junkies etc but...

... They Don’t F#$&ing Do Anything With It!"

Wow. Sounds just like network marketing! (Again.) I remember researching Bob Doyle's Wealth Beyond Reason program, and he says specifically on his website NOT to enroll "if you're the type of person who "collects programs" on their shelves - virtual or otherwise - but never really gets around to DOING them - don't waste your time with this course."

I really do fit into that category--I have bought so many programs and read so many books and attended so many seminars and listened to so many audio programs over the years...I haven't really gotten into the business of doing business! I have been "getting ready to get ready," as they say.

One of the things I love about the PUA community is the emphasis on FIELD TESTING. Mystery calls it "calibration"--which is basically the concept of getting better and better through the application of what you're learning.

So, right now I'm kind of stuck because I have company from out of town and haven't been able to get out there and sarge. Countdown 8 days--hold me to it!
