Hey happy 2013, Todd here,

In this article you will learn how to strategize your night for maximum success and maximum learning. Find out exactly what I am thinking as I move from set to set and club to club throughout and evening of love and chaos.  Find out the best ways to manage your state.

I’m just coming off a bootcamp in Washington DC, which has been both hectic and amazing. There were literally MULTIPLE girls being pulled by our crew EVERY single night so you can imagine the stories and adventures that ensued. I also had some very interesting wake-up calls with the students that really reminded me to be on my toes as an instructor. So overall, definitely memorable.

Now I’m off to Singapore and Australia, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’ve never been to Asia and I have not been to Australia for years. I’m also REALLY psyched to see some warm weather again. Southern hemisphere FTW!

My game has also been reaching new heights lately with no end in sight. It’s amazing how fast you can make progress with a singular focus. I can literally feel the game flowing in my body now and I am really getting finely calibrated to just what brings me success and what falls flat. I’ve also been fortunate enough to see some great game examples first hand (in particular Jeffy in San Francisco) that have been eye opening.

I’m working on putting these new insights into blog form, but that is difficult as they are currently more words than feelings. I’m confident I’ll figure out how to express them soon, so keep an eye out for my future videos.

Speaking of videos, another great place to see my PRACTICAL IN-FIELD COACHING videos and to ASK ME LIVE QUESTIONS is through Inner Circle. I believe it’s the best program dollar for dollar (only $5/month) that we have at RSD.

One other administrative note, to clear up any confusion:

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN INNER CIRCLE DINNER EVENTS AND MEET WIGMEN IN YOUR AREA -- FOR FREE. There has been some confusion on this matter so I want to clarify. The videos and instructor education through Inner Circle is a paid product, but the groups themselves are 100% free to anyone who wants to come. So take advantage of this amazing resource!

Ok. On to the video.

This video took me more time to encode and upload than any video EVER, so it better be worth it.

Basically this video explains how to conduct yourself strategically throughout a night of pick up. When to stay in set and when to bounce. When to number close and when to try and pull. When to be persistent and when to move on.

It’s not the sexiest sounding material in the cold approach game, but it can boost your actual results more than just about anything. So have a look at the video.



The main gist is that you should first build your night, then try to capitalize… within reason. But it also goes into how to run the sets, how to manage your state and how to pull. In hindsight one topic I would like to cover that I did not, was how to screen the girls for logistics and “down-ness”, so perhaps I’ll handle that in a future video.

The other theme in this video though it is not explicitly stated, is that of keeping the newbie mentality even as you become advanced. It’s so easy to develop an ego or to get lazy once you are seeing consistent success; but it’s really been brought home to me lately, how much more can be achieved if one keeps that beginner mindset and just goes hard at all times.

Before I sign off, I want to mention that if you want more unique thoughts and information I put out ideas and lines on both facebook and twitter daily:

Okay, I’m off to catch a flight, so I’ll talk to you soon.

Thanks again, and until next time,
-Todd
