Hey there, it's Todd.

In this article you will learn how to make your practice time 10X more effective.  Practice like a champion, and you will become a champion;  Practice like a chode and you will become a chode.

I'm writing this article from Washington DC in the middle of a very cold but fun bootcamp.  I have three extremely enthusiastic and hardworking students this weeked who have been an absolute joy to work with.  Also, my own game has been reaching new levels in terms of both power and consistency.  It seems I'm pulling FAR more regularly than before and my quality is increasing as well.  I also am getting texts back from nearly all of my phone numbers.

What has been weird for me lately though, has been my approach apathy.  Not sure if it has been a cause or an effect of my greater success of late, but there clearly seems to be a correlation.  I'll briefly give you the arguments either way.

a)  It could be that my recent success, particularly because it has come on bootcamp, has given me an ego, and that approaching, when the rewards aren't huge, can only negatively affect that ego.  Therefore it's just easier not to approach.

b)  It could be that by releasing myself from the burden of "having to approach every girl" has allowed me to enjoy my approaches more and to make them less mechanical and forced.

I think the answer is a combination of both a and b... which means that there are positive AND negative aspects to the situation.


Where I'll be next...

Pay particular attention to the Europe dates from April 25th through May 23rd. I don’t come to Europe that often, so be sure to look me up when I am there!


One other administrative note, to clear up any confusion:

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN INNER CIRCLE DINNER EVENTS AND MEET WINGMEN 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!

http://bit.ly/RSDInnerCircleCityList

More information about inner circle is available at www.rsdinnercircle.com

Ok. On to the video.



The video is pretty self contained, and the ideas are very good, so definitely watch it if possible rather than just reading, however if you must absorb these ideas in a written form, the main concepts are these:

-Begin with the end in mind or you'll probably never get there
-Make sure your goals are clearly defined
-Be prepared for success, so you don't trip over your own two feet
-Practice makes PERMANENT, not perfect... bad practice is WORSE than NO practice.
-Don't go throuh the motions
-Be careful what habits you are developing.

Please post your comments and feedback. I’d like to find out what is most important to you, so I can adjust accordingly.

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:

facebook.com/rsdtodd
and
twitter.com/rsdtodd


Thanks again, and until next time,
-Todd

Yeah I think a lot of guys don't realize their main goals are actually to get good emotions and enhance their egos and not to get the girl. Then they don't end up playing to win.

Which often ties in with going through the motions. I still find myself doing this from time to time.

Hey, love your ideas.

You seem to come from less vague/esoteric concepts, and more practical ones (even though borrowed from business, coaching, etc.).

Good value in having this variety.

Good stuff Todd. Time for an introspective approach. I've been guilty of being a headless chicken, going up to girls are saying the same generic thing to all of them and then boring them with a bunch of questions - as a result all my leads have flaked thus far. Back to the drawing board to try something new. Cheers.

i started going out, now first 2 nights at a club, i get rejected but i just reframe it and stay there as nothing just happened and as if i am the hot guy and the girls are just some lame boring trash with some bullshit drama.... i value myself more than any hot girl but at the same time i know that i can be much happier with a great girl in my life.....my goal is to approach as many girls as i can and keep conversation going for as long as i can, keep logic to minimum and jokes and nonsense to maximum and not care about the outcome... i approach only hot girls even if she is with a man or her friends... i go to extreme and dont leave the set until its an eject time before a fight breaks out, police gets called or a bouncer kicks me out :) i really have fun with this

last night a made out with a hot tall girl... yey :)  should have cought her on the way out the venue tho, lesson learned :)

going out to the mall today, tomorro its college girls time all day.. i got a plan in mind :)

Nice. I defnitely like that you brought this up because having a plan really helps me to be more decisive about what I'm going to do from moment to moment. It's a great reminder.

I'm looking to lay hot girls and creating MLTR's with them. I also want to create a social circle with like minded inviduals who aren't going to freak the fuck out about this stuff. Which I think is really difficult considering I live in a city with a population of 43,232 where hot girls are scarce and dudes are possesive as hell (can't blame them since it REALLY is scarce down here LOL).

Any thoughts?

Your videos are getting better. I remembre the first time I saw you live at the NY freetour, it was your first time doing a speech, and your thoughts were chopped. Now you look way better and your content is getting better. 

Keep doing it, and aways give your field exemples, I love them. 

cheers

I am looking more and more forward to your videos. This was definitely a great reminder and a reality check for guys who are not getting laid consistently. This is also so applicable to every part of my life.

Wow Todd, great video. Exactly what I needed to hear right now.

I recently read a book called The Talent Code which goes alot deeper into the science and art of practice...I highly recommend, it's a great read actually.

Thx, MR

You're the man Todd. Like how your speaking is a little more intense, you've gotten a lot better. You always talk about really practical things which I think we tend to forget about from time to time. Awesome.

Very very good video Todd, thanks, well explained.
I was going through the motions and not trying new things constantly, so I wasn't seeing much progress. Also I have already been an approach machine in the night but I still ahve to approach a lot to get some sucess, I think cause I didn't started to plan things and trying new things, but doing the same thing over and over, just as you said. I think that needs a new level o commitment to say, tonight I will be physical or whatever.

One of the best u hve done man. Short, sweet, useful. I implore you to do more technical elements of game like you did here. I dug it coz it's relevant and you always are man. Unlike some of the other pickup stuff which is just milk, this would be analogous to meat. a lot of the advanced guys just don't know how to put into words how to actually do this stuff, but i feel like you are a rarity in the sense thta you can articulate what many have internalized but cannot explain. aces :)
