Harv's Coming To Town!

I took the Millionaire Mind Intensive about a year ago and had a phenomenal transformative experience. It was so awesome that I signed up for their Train the Trainer Course (which also kicked ass)... and became an even BETTER trainer for all of you who have attended a course with me.

I love what they are bringing to the entire world of education and self development. It's fun, it's powerful, (and best of all... you can get tickets to the Millionaire Mind Intensive for FREE)

YOU have a Milliionaire Mind!

I traveled all the way to Atlanta for this seminar, but now he's finally coming to SF. Yeah! Assuming I'm in town, I'll be there again this time. (If you're wondering how this relates to women... get rich, get paid, then get laid! Enough said)

Grattitude for My Mentors!

Recently, I've had people ask me about my own history and how I got into all of this. I've written many posts along the way, but I've never summarized it all in one place. So, step on the time machine with me as we go back through the last four years of my life. It all starts January 2004...


I have always been a huge supporter of the community (even through the many times when my friends may not have agreed). I LOVE the fact that men are helping other men to improve their lives. I LOVE the men's culture and the sheer fact that men are finally standing up for themselves and re-owning their right to beautiful women, great sex, and fulfilling relationships. I think we are in the midst of a revolution, and it brings chills to my spine when I really think about the potential impact this will all have on society as a whole.

My introduction to it all was a David DeAngelo newsletter (thank god it somehow ended up on my computer). It changed my life. Within 2 months, my entire paradigm on women and dating had done a 180. I saw everything in a completely new way, and I felt liberated to begin making up for a lot of lost time.

I then got into Speed Seduction and began actually applying the techniques with real women. I creeped out a bunch, and I had fun with some others. It was still a huge time of transformation for me, and although I didn't get laid during that time, I was really inspired, and my confidence began to improve dramatically.

Then, I found fastseduction.com! This was the big shift. I found the culture of: "Field Work, Field Work, Field Work." In fact, it was some of TylerDurden's posts which were most inspiring to actually get me in the field.

I started reading through the Maniac_High and Tokyo_PUA archives (as they were Japan PUAs and I was living in Korea at the time). I plowed through those old posts (many of which were inspired by Speed Seduction), and continued to find DRAMATIC improvements in my relating with women, my confidence, and my life in general.

I also continued to skim through posts by Juggler, Gunwitch, TylerDurden, MrNYC4U, Toecutter and some of the other fastseduction posters. ALL of which I loved. I ATE it up.

And, it was when I started really applying the "Field Work" mentality, that I started seeing results.

I hadn't had sex in a year and a half, and then within 5 weeks I was dating 6 women!

No bullshit, No lies. (read the archive if you want)

I was fuckin' blown away! My life was unlike anything I'd ever imagined before. Step into a completely different paradigm.

Within three months, I was IN LOVE with one of the most amazing women I've ever met. She was a Korean girl and we had an incredible (and steamy) relationship.

And, at this point I had never even heard of Sensei (or Lance Mason).

I owe a HUGE amount of respect and grattitude to my early teachers, and although I'll freely admit that they are just people too (not gods or gurus like some may claim)... They changed my life, and I'm so incredibly grateful.

Soon, my 6 month love-drunk stint in Korea ended. I broke up with my girls there and returned to America where I was once again - just another face in the crowd. In Korea I had a certain uniqueness (blond hair, blue eyes) which always worked in my favor. This was no more.

As soon as I returned to the US, I knew that I wanted nothing more than to finally find my community that I had so long been missing. They were all internet handles when I was in Korea (I have since been a co-founder of the Korea lair, so the beginnings of a Korea community have begun to take root. But, there was no community there when I started). Now those internet names would become real.

My first thought was that I wanted to take an RSD bootcamp with Tyler. (I didn't really know much about Mystery back then. He didn't post much on mASF)

But, I decided to look in the SF area for a teacher first. I found out that Jlaix was teaching here in SF, and Sensei and Wilder too. I joined ebss and read the reviews. PickUp 101 was getting better reviews at the time (and was cheaper), so I signed up.

The Art of Attraction blew me away. It was a phenomenal workshop and for the first time I had a simple clear model with which to understand everything I had learned so far. Sensei and Wilder were incredible in the field - really fuckin' mind blowing. They created a new reality for me. I didn't have any idea that such things were possible.

I didn't have any overnight success in the way that I first did when I first started doing approaches, but I did find a huge shift in my belief in what's possible.

I had to practice. FUCK, did I have to practice.

I went through a three-month long "drought" without a single girl to my name.

During that time, I met Jlaix and was instantly impressed. He is one of the funniest people I know and every chance I get to see him speak - I still jump at the opportunity. I really love that guy.

I started reading the Jlaix archive (because the sensei archive was nearly non-existent). And Jlaix lived in the city and went to a lot of the same bars as me. I even became friends with Jeffy for a while (as he lived only a few blocks away) and we hung out and did a little crazy partying together. (I think I've still got a picture of me holding his shotgun)

I miss Jeffy sometimes, as I think he brought me a good dose of craziness every once in a while. (Back in the day, he and Lance and William and everyone were much closer friends.) In fact, for a long time I really wanted to take a bootcamp with him too, and I'm still sure that he could teach me something (as I'd bet that I could teach him something too) I only met Tyler once, and it was brief. And, I know Ox is supposedly one of the RSD instructors, and I became friends with him online - a cool cat!

I happily began aligning with PickUp 101 more as I helped out with Lance's seminars. And, then when I moved into Project San Francisco, I suddenly became all PickUp 101. It was cool though. I liked it. I learned a HELL of a lot from Lance, and my game improved dramatically still. (Not just my game, but my social skills and my entire life - just ask anyone who knew me back then).

I became an instructor for PickUp 101. And, yes... I wasn't ready. Yes, I wasn't the best instructor. Yes, I hadn't achieved mastery. BUT, I very quickly found out that I did have something to offer. I did have experience and with each workshop I taught, I got better and better as a teacher (I apologize to anyone who was at the first workshop I taught at). I still like to think that I get better and better each time I do a workshop. I love teaching this stuff, and I love seeing myself improve.

Over time, I've really grown into it, and now it's not that I have more women in my life... but the QUALITY of the women in my life is something that I could've never imagined. That's when you really hit paydirt, when you start having relationships that feed your soul on the deepest level.

At some point, "The Game" came out, and lots of things changed. All of a sudden, gurus were jumping on the scene from every direction. The old secrets that took me so long to find were now becoming commonplace (good for the newbies, but not so good for the long struggle that I had been through. I wish I could've been so lucky.) Material started getting refined as more discussion took place. More naturals started showing up and calling the bluff on old out-dated routines.

Sean Messenger was a huge influence for me at that point, and really showed me how I could live the life I wanted with women without sacrificing one drop of integrity or commitment to my own values and standards in life. I started telling women what I did for a living and started owning the fact that I could be an awesome guy and get women and teach and have it ALL at once.

So, anyway, to finish the story, I recently took AMP, and I LOVED it! It blew my mind. Decker rocks. I took five more workshops with them since. End of story there.

Hristiyan has changed my view about sex, women and pleasure. And, I LOVE that guy and love hanging out with him. I've learned so much from him. After hanging out with Grant Adams at Burning Man, I found that he is one of my heros in life and a true role model. BradP has also had a big influence on me, and everytime I see him I turn giddy like a girl while giving him praises. I love that guy too. I haven't interacted with SteveP much, but I think his out-there methods are way fuckin' cool, and I hope to learn more from him in the future.

OMG! I almost forgot Zan! How could I? Zan kinda reminds me of Hristiyan. Both of them have more than just a way with women... they have a way of life. Just being around them takes you to another level. Big shout out to Zan - I read his archives for years, and when I got to meet him? wow.

And, honestly that's not all... Those are just the teachers I had in PickUp. I've taken live trainings with Wayne Dyer, T. Harv Ecker, Chris Howard, the Monks at Suan Mokkh Temple, and there's been many more influences in my life (can't forget my dad!)

I owe a huge debt of grattitude to anyone who has contributed to this art/science/study of relating to women. And the one's who I haven't mentioned, I'm grateful that they would care enough about other guys to get into this at all.

One thing that really excites me is that almost the same instant a man learns something, he wants to share it with his buddies. That is the kind of comraderie that will change this world.

I teach for the love of it. I learn for the love of it. There is nothing in my life more important than this, and that is why I've created my entire life around it.

And honestly, I'm on a fuckin' mission. Someday, the world will once again revere and honor the Teacher. So, let's all pay respect.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everybody!

This year is gonna kick some serious ass.

My New Year's Resolutions?

1) Take up Yoga starting now and for the rest of my life. In ten years I'm gonna be a Master Yogi

2) Keep in touch with my family more often. More regular phone calls, and talk to them more about the things we have in common.

I'm excited. Two things that will kick ass for me in 2008.

Of course, many more highlights are to be expected. I can't even imagine all the awesome adventure's I'll have this year!

Bottom line: If you're reading this, take a second and find the joy in your life. Remember the things in 2007 that kicked ass for you. Get in touch with that, and start to spread it outward for 2008. It's time to start bringing more inspiration to the world, more of our full potential as human beings.

And Dream BIG! IF you're dreams for 2008 were to get 12 dates... take a moment and change it to 120 dates. Or 12 dates with supermodels. Make your dreams big and go overboard. For a moment just forget about "being realistic" and just let yourself get excited about the possibilities.

I wish you all the best New Year, and I wish you many great new experiences ahead.

Advanced Tactics is Back!

Man, I had so much fun helping to create the first ever Advanced Tactics workshop. It was a magical weekend, and the guys who were there will remember.

So, I wanted to send this message out to you guys and let you know that there's another one planned this weekend (Nov. 30) in San Francisco. If you have a chance you should make it there.

- Daniel


(Here's the original email from Lance...)

This weekend only - meet me and take your game to the next level. Keep reading...

By now, you've been through a PickUp 101 workshop, but there's something you still may not know about our PickUp 101 team of instructors. For some of them, this little secret may be the most difficult challenge they face. And nearly everytime it happens, they get frustrated.

You see, we’ve always taken pride that our instructors aren't just amazing with women, they also have amazing insights and the best techniques for making the information available to you. They’re the best at breaking things down so that literally any man can achieve mastery with women.

In our workshops, they consistently achieve amazing results. But, still there is something that gets to all of them. It may sound silly, but the most difficult thing is when the workshop ends and we send the men back into the world on his own.

My instructors all have years of experience refining their skills with women. Each one could write an entire encyclopedia from what they’ve found in their own lives. And, no matter how much we teach, and no matter how much we are transforming lives with our Art of Attraction and Art of Rapport workshops… the instructors still want to teach more! We want to save you the years of effort and struggle that many of us have known. We want to give you everything we've got and make sure that you get it.

Every so often, we get together and we talk about our newest, latest, greatest ideas for pickup and relationships. We trade ideas about what we’re working on now. We even built the pickup lounge forums so people could continue to grow and share with each other. And, I've got instructors constantly asking me to add more to the workshops, to extend the length of Art of Attraction, or to somehow warp time so we can fill the Art of Attraction with even more exercises and even more opportunities for direct feedback. Well, I can't warp time.

But, something amazing started to happen. Workshop graduates started coming to me, asking if they could take Art of Attraction again. They knew that there was so much valuable information in it the first time that they'd be bound to get more from repeating it. And, I knew we had found the solution. Instead of sending them back to The Art of Attraction - why not create a new class to bring them all together and take it to the next level.

And, that's was the beginning of The Advanced Tactics workshop (for Art of Attraction graduates only). Another three full days refreshing everything you learned in AoA and taking it one giant step further.

Discover How To...

* Go light years beyond approach anxiety and begin working the room for real. You’ll gain the ability to light up any room and bring life to any social situation (sparking the interest of all the women in the room along the way)

* Convey magnetic sexuality. Women will turn into wild animals clawing for more.

* Master the art of Eye Contact and learn to speak without saying anything at all. Your eyes can be your most powerful tool for creating instant chemistry with a woman. When you begin to use your eyes, you can do less and get more results

* Banter like a champion. We've got advanced banter exercises that were too much for Art of Attraction. We didn't want anyone getting hurt, so we saved them for the advanced class. You will internalize the core of banter, so that it will become part of your lifestyle and simply part of who you are.

* Get girls seducing you. This is when the magic happens - when you sit back and watch them chase you. (you'll learn when to make a move, and also when to shut up and wait). We'll have to be teaching a class for the women after this!

* And more... There's one exercise so transformative and so shocking that I can't even write about it here. And, the guys who have done it have been sworn to secrecy, so don't try to ask them either


Your Personal Next Step

Above and beyond the action packed schedule we have planned for you, there will also be time set aside for personalized attention to your goals. Whatever you feel is the next step in your game, we’ll sit down and tailor to your needs. And, if you don't know what you're next step is, we'll help you find it. This is where PickUp 101 really shines. We're known for our personalized attention and ability to find the attractive qualities in every Man.

This workshop is only for graduates of the Art of Attraction workshop, so everyone in the room has the basic understandings down. This creates a master-mind like atmosphere where the rate of learning increases and the results go through the roof.

You may have gotten some amazing results and still you're wanting more. Or maybe you've hit an infamous "plateau" and want to refresh and sharpen your skills. No matter what, it's a life long process of gaining more understanding of women and there's never a bad time to take the next step.

We've only taught this workshop once before, but the students had a lot to say...

"You guys have done such a phenomenal job that I don’t know if there’s anything else like this on the market. It’s just beyond what I could imagine. You guys cover new territory. Stuff that I could only imagine that the best people could do and I didn’t know how it was all possible. You guys have brought me this, so that the average person can actually learn this."

Who's In Your Tribe?

I've always enjoyed taking a look at social dynamics from a tribal point of view. 6.6 Billion People on one planet. One really big tribe?

I walk into a bar. Who are these people? Who are they sitting in their little groups, drinking their spirits, claiming their territory?

Is it a tribal gathering at the local watering hole? In fact, it often seems much different.

I remember when I first stepped foot into a bar, it looked much different. It looked like one big tribe that I wasn't a part of. I saw it as one group of people, and I was outside of it. There were the tribal leaders who looked intimidating, the hot fertile women of the tribe (who also looked intimidating), and a certain culture of the tribe - which I didn't understand.

As I grew more comfortable and really began to look around, I saw it differently again. I began to see a meeting of the tribes. Each tribe stakes territory in one area of the bar. Sometimes a tribe will find out that they know someone from another tribe, and the two will merge together. Sometimes the leader of one tribe will fight the leader of another.

And, then there were the rebels. The ones who look beyond the tribal boundaries and would talk to anyone. Daring and bold, they sought out to merge the tribes (or maybe simply to steal women from the tribe of another)

But, I continued to grow, and I moved past even this. In fact, I ended up in much the same place as where I started. I began to see it once again as a single tribe.

It's my tribe. These are my people.

I walk into a bar and I see my fellow San Franciscans. I see people, doing people things and living people lives. And, it's not just San Francisco either, after traveling the world teaching workshops, I've begun to feel at home everywhere.

What approach anxiety exists when I'm talking to my tribe? What hesitation could possibly be there then?

Not everyone is nice to me, sure. Not everyone welcomes me into their conversation. But, these cases are rare and seem almost insignificant.

I don't really enjoy bars and clubs much. I never really have. I go there because that's where the people are. And, I've spent less time there recently. Going to bars and clubs is not a necessary step in your improvement. But, being social is. Diving into social situations and joining in the game will bring you growth beyond just your relationships with women.

So, next time you go to a social event. Ask yourself, how do you see these people? Who are they? Is this your tribe?
