Where I'm at.......
I'm not totally sure how to "grade" or determine what "level" I'm at so I'll just give you a quick run-down.
positives-
I used to sell office supplies door-to-door on 100% commission- go through 100 doors for 2 sales +/- $100 usd a day- this has a tendency to reduce your approach anxiety and provides extensive "true/real experience" with "canned material." So once I've got multiple threads organized/handy opening sets shouldn't be an issue.
Good looking, athletically fit (5'9" 150 lbs), with good (conservative) fashion sense and infinite potential (confidence and willingness to crash and burn to learn).
Avid reader and fantastic student in what interests me (MM) big on self improvement.
Previously as a professional mechanic and auto racing test driver I've lived/resided in 4 countries and 8 states in the US. Tennessee will be the 9th, I've left a girlfriend in just about every one of them- so I "know" more then I think I do (you know what I mean?) and do have some great stories.
negatives (things to work on)-
classic nice guy- big on respect (thereby have been told a little "lightening up" would do me some good)- thereby 0 experience with negging (which I'm reading is critical), have been recently short on cash thereby limiting number of attempts/financial impressibility by budget (relatively inexperienced with MM exercises- I've read it but don't have a ton of experience applying it), struggle with patience (constant effort to improve/beat this personal demon), 0 experience "peacocking"- I dress up a bit for the location but have never worn a "peacock feather/conversation piece." So there is some personal investment of both time and money required to bump up my game, but I am definitely interested in the experience/exercise.
Side note: Are you a Indycar fan?
Anyway- that's the quick run-down. If it's cool with you I wouldn't mind continuing this conversation "off the board/record." Hit me up at
hockeyfour@hotmail.com- maybe use a subject line like- "future wing in nashville" so I can pick you out of the thousands of junk mail pieces I get a week.
cool.
Hock.
