Hello Fellow DJ's and Trainees,
I am writing to report on my current situation. I have finally begun to understand the position I am currently in, in my life. For further elaboration, see my desperately need advice thread.
I am been reading the bible and additional material from this site that has inspired me...and I must say I am in awe. My two attempts at engaging HB's (a 7 and 8) recently were successful in number closing, using techniques presented here. The 7 turned out to be a little too young for me (I was also immediately able to identify her as an attention-***** based on information I read here and the actions she displayed, and summarily next'ed her without any remorse..I love it!), and I have yet to call the 8. Future plans have been made though for the weekend. The way I engage others in coversation, professionally and socially has changed. I can literally feel the changes within myself. I have begun a new "journey" and it is exhilirating.
However, I must say I feel like I may be rushing things. I feel like I have not consumed nearly as much information or fully digested everything I have come to read as of yet. This is what holds me back. I feel like I should read more then go out into the field, instead of cramming what I can read here (I have only read the first 2 weeks of boot camp in like 3 days) and I already plan on going out tonight to test the methods and my new persona. I am curious as to what anyone elses thoughts are on this "diving head first in" approach.
As stated above, I have not been rejected yet. I know this is because I have not made enough attempts yet. This is the purpose for tonight...
I will be heading out to the clubs tonight. Alone. This is not by choice. Due to my job, I am the new guy in town and have no wings to accompany me. Ironically, I am ok with this, as I feel I need to go out into the field and test the waters. The plan for tonight will be to simply get out of town for a bit, have some fun, hopefully meet some cool people and attain some rejections. These will purely be for practice and to build up an emotional callous (something I require) for future attempts.
A transformation has begun. I feel like I am truly on the path to become a DJ. This AFC-in-transition has been resurrected from the depths of desperation from one-itis into a brave new world! I appreciate everyone sharing their stories here. I will post results on how tonights events go...
