People as Interchangeable Parts

2009-07-03T11:58:00.006-05:00

In the past, tools and machined parts were custom made. One of a kind. Unique. When something broke, or needed replacing, a one off replacement for that unique situation was sourced. You carriage or wheels we likely to be different then you neighbour's.

Then came the industrial revolution, large scale manufacturing, and assembly lines. A factory could now turn out widgets, or carriage wheels in amazing amounts, and every one could be made exactly alike. Your carriage wheels were now the same as your neighbors, or very similar.

Next arose our current state of affairs, large corporations, systems and franchises. The focus is on low variance, and repeatable experiences. McDonald's and Wal-Mart may be the best examples of this system to date. A McDonald's hamburger, and customer experience will be very similar in New York, Chicago, or even Paris. This is by design. Odds are you will never have a great or terrible experience. The system is the key. People are plugged into a narrowly defined job, to do it efficiently, and predictably, People are now the interchangeable parts on the system, If a person "breaks down", or "wears out, " a similar "part" is quickly sourced and placed in the same position, playing the exact same role.

The flaw in the system of using people as interchangeable parts is inherent human design, namely, our humanity. People often feel like "just a number" or a "cog in the wheel," in large systems or organizations. Justly so! The modern corporation is designed specifically for YOU to be replaceable at a moment's notice. With all the corruption, the demise of Detroit and GM, loss of job security, pensions, and layoffs, unrest in the workforce is afoot. The paradigms are shifting. The idea of working for a single company for your career, and retiring with a gold watch and a pension is dead. WE are now in charge of our retirement also. The government has made promises in one era to be kept in another. Those promises are as empty as grasping for the wind.

The next paradigm is interchangable workplaces and locations. Remote work agreements are becoming more prevalent, as the "cloud" that often makes place irrelevant. One can take customer calls or do CAD designs on the beach as well as the corner office. Workers will have a more personal resume, and will look more like a contract worker, than employees for a single corporation. The workforce will become more mobile, and instead of people being interchangeable, the companies they will work for will become the interchangeable ones. The Flip is coming. Are you ready?

What are you building?

Ask yourself, what am I primarially building? Is it a skill set, or a lifestyle? A skill set is a framework, and a specific set of tools, to be used in varying situations. It's like having all the crayons in the box. A lifestyle is something that becomes what you are. Think Hugh Hefner as a prime example. Does he have to go out, and meet girls from scratch? Cold open sets, build attraction, and comfort? NO. He probably hasnt had to to that in the past 40 years, unless he wanted to. He built a lifestyle that brings the women he wants to him.

I have personally, lived on both sides of the equation. In college, I had a lifestyle, because of involvement with a campus org, but not the skills to truly make it work. Meeting girls gets harder after college, so take note, university guys. When I found the community, I focused on building a skill set, and framework. You walk into a bar/club, and cold open girls whom you do not know, nor know anyone you know. You start from zero, and build attraction and comfort. It's a hard road, as girls dont know you from anyone, but the skills learned are vital.

More recently, through my business, I have started to build a lifestyle. We work with several local venues, and know many of the regulars and staff. When you walk into a venue, and many of the staff, and people know you already, your life meeting a girl there you do not know, is much easier. THEN, it is time to use skills, to close it out, as you are already half the way there. Social proof and status, is a very strong component. As is safety. A girl's defenses will not go up when half the place knows you, vs being some yahoo that she doesn't know, or know of.

In closing, I believe that learning the skillset FIRST, then learning to leverage it through a lifestyle is a wise move. Think about what you do when you go out. Do the staff where you go know you? Do you have friends there? Are you there for any reason other than to have a few, and talk to girls? Have you learned a method, and are building on it? I'd urge you to have a vehicle, or system for meeting women, that allows you to build a lifestyle, where women come to you.
That's my dream. What is yours? :)

Bringing it back

2009-05-19T23:30:00.003-05:00

Hey all,

This blog has laid dormant for far too long. I recently thought of buying a domain, and putting up a wordpress, to post my thoughts on leadership, business, and what I've been learning lately. Instead I decided to revive this one.

As things go forward, I will post semi regularly, when I have something good to say. Time is very valuable, and I hate it when people waste mine, so I will try not to pay that to you. I appreciate those who take time you could be doing other things, to read my ramblings. I hope to offer insights, and nuggets of gold, and maybe influence a few people for the better.

The Nightlife Experience

2008-08-08T09:17:00.008-05:00

There she is. A true perfect ten. Heels, jeans, that are just tight enough, and a slinky blouse with very little in back. More than gorgous, she's breathtaking. And making eye contact with you. You know this situation, you've been here before.

First, you feel it in your chest. Your heart starts beating at a jackhammer pace, and your throat tightens. “Did I put on enough deodorant?”.... you ask yourself.... “cause it's getting mighty warm in here.” It's go time. Those few steps across the room seem like an eternity, everything going in slow motion. But, by now, all those drinks are starting to catching up. Leaning in, and slurring a bit, the girl quickly finds she has to go to the bathroom, rather than hear all the wonderful things you were going to tell her. Left dejected, and wondering why things can't be different.

Ever wish for a way to make the approach easier? Ever have those days, where you are totally in the zone? Relaxed, confident, witty and talkative, and alpha dominant. Ever wish it could happen more often than just random chance? Let me introduce you to the world of supplements.

Sure, you know what to grab for your workouts, but who knew there are supplements that can help your game with the ladies? Without the world of supplements, your choices in a bar are booze or red bull. Not a lot to choose from, eh? With supplements, you have a myriad of options.
