Most of this stuff was curated and he was pretty weak in explaining it, so I am still not a
fan and I doubt that I will spend time on any more of his stuff. Even though he markets it
as a PUA course, it is an overall personal development product.
In any case here are the notes I made from 77 Laws of Success Videos. You will find
some nuggets in there.
1. Accept everything the way it is. Dont wish things or situations were different. Bitching
about stuff will not change it. Confront the reality.
2. Take Responsibility. You are responsible for your thoughts and actions.
3. Go to work on yourself, not women. You cannot change other people, you can only
change yourself.
4. Evict Your Inner Wussy. When I bitch or complain about things, I dont feel
responsible for them that might be a secondary pay-off for being a wussy. But it is
wrong. Stop being a wussy. Figure out whats stopping you and start working on fixing it
up.
5. Build a Powerful, capable self-image that you love. Picture of you that you carry inside
yourself. Get a clear picture of the person you want to be. Ask yourself am I the person
who I want to be? Make it as clear and vivid as possible so that you can feel yourself
living it.
6. Move your frame of reference inside. You dont have to get externation validation for
anything. You should look on the inside to figure out if everyone else is on the right page.
You are in competition with yourself and have to keep things to your own standards not
the standards of others.
Have an inner locus control Make the decisions with are right for your own life, dont
worry about how others are affected by them or will percieve them. It is your life and you
are responsible for it so do whatever is right to achieve and live the life that you want to
live.
7. Stop making identity meaning out of external events. If others disapprove of what you
do then it is their problem, not yours. Dont try to analyze it much or make a
genrealization out if it. If she doesnt like you, it is her loss not yours (or she is a
lesbian). I can provide a lot more to her than she can provide to me.
8. Eliminate failure by learning from it. Dont attach any meaning to the failure. You
have not failed I am not a failure because something has not worked out. Plus there is
no failure it is just a lesson you have learnt in how not to do it. Be logical in analysing
things. You will see that the lesson you have learnt would be far more valuable than the
cost you have paid.
9. Compare your progress and success only to yourself, not to others. You have to worry
about achieving what you want to achieve dont worry about beating other people.
Decide your path and stick to it. Run your own race. Focus on achieving your own end
goals and results that you want. Compete with yourself and dont worry about beating
others improve yourself. Take yourself to the next level.
Just dont give a fuck about others. Get motivated by their progress that they are doing
something to achieve it. Take inspiration and learn lessons. Dont envy their status or
results. Just focus on doing what is right and needs to be done to achieve your own end
goals. Just like golf, compare your progress to yourself and dont worry about
others. Just think did I do the best I could, honestly.
10. Evolve constantly and consciously always seek the next level and paradigm. Keep
looking for the next level. You have never arrived. Keep thinking what is the next
level and how do I reach there. Find and be with people who dont give a damn about
your current level because they are at a higher level than you are.
11. See yourself as high status. Build a high status self image. Go in expecting that you
will be the high status person in the room. Dont care about others because you are the
shiznit and the coolest and most awesome, fun motherfucker in the room. You are the
rockstar and will have the attention of others. Make things fun and connect people
make people smile and have fun yourself.
12. Stop Apologizing. You should never apologize to get another persons approval. It
makes people respect you when you know how to apologize at the right time. Just dont
give a fuck truly. Dont seek approval and do what you want to do and just how you want
to do it.
13. Stop Seeking Approval. Neediness kills attraction. Dont ask permission or look for
external validation. Do what you want to do and not what others expect you to do. Not
seeking external approval means having confidence in yourself and your decisions. This
is a highly attractive mindset for women and men (nohomo).
Some people play to not lose and some people play to win. Take the right decision,
which may not always be the easiest, and play to win. Right decision is not always the
easiest and the easiest decision is not always right. It is your life and you are responsible
for it, no one else. So do the right thing.
14. Stop Giving Approval in Order to Get It. Let people earn your respect and approval. It
should always be a reward when they earn it. Dont take shit from others. And dont do
things that will help you get their approval.
15. Stop Trading Status for Approval. Be in control, lead. Be the person who is net-
positive dominant. Let people earn your attention and make them go through hoops
before you give them respect. Dont respect people just to make them respect you. Let
them earn it.
16. Untangle past, present and future. Life for now and for the moment. Consider short
term, medium term and long term gratification of everything that you are about to do. Do
what is right in the long run. Live for the moment. You always tend to overestimate the
future loss or reward. Dont live in the fear of something happening. Just deal with it
when it arises. Dont worry about solving the future problems before they arise.
17. Surround yourself with success models. Be it people, books, audio or videos. Get
inspired and surround yourself with success and vision of what you want to be in
future. Visualize things. Grow consciously. Dont do anything that is of no use. Focus
on success and what you want to achieve in the long run.
18. Know your path or purpose in life and stay on it. Rememberber what you are doing it
all for. Focus. Remember 80/20 principle and focus on things that make the biggest
impact on you achieving the goals that you want to achieve. Dont have any distractions
have a tunnel vision on what you want to achieve.
Any man who tries to chase two rabbits gets none. Also, dont multitask. Focus on one
thing at a time, it is lot more efficient.
19. Travel. Explore new places and cultures. Go learn from them and meet new people.
Expand your horizons. List everything that you learn and impliment it.
20. Every day -> find your center, become centered and make yourself the center. Get in
touch with your ideal life. Meditate. learn to control your thoughts. Notice your breath
and learn to control it. Make your model and reality as real as possible and make it the
center of your life.
21. Focus on your core skills, your inner game and tactics will fall in place. Dont always
look for instant gratification. Put in the time to learn the thing properly and do what
needs to be done.
22. Accept and Embrace the transition anexiety as an opportunity to see things from a
beginners perspective automatically. When you do a new thing, you are out of your
comfort zone. Do what is right. Dont worry about how you will look when you fail or
what people will assume. Just do it if you have to do it. You will learn only by practicing
it correctly. Just keep at it learn and embrace the transitionb. Make it a game compete
with yourself. Anexiety is a natural part of transition.
23. LEarn to enjoy the process of learning more than the actual result of learning.
24. Teach others every great thing that you learn, immediately. If you teach it, you learn it
a lot faster and can internalize it much better. Maybe blog about it, have a private
mastermind or talk about it with a friend.
25. Never whine, bitch or complain. Ever. That is just your perception of things and not
really the reality of how it is.
26. Objectify your demons so that you control them instead of them controlling you.
Something you dont have control over. Dont worry about them and learn to conciously
make sure that they never control you.
27. Become selfish so that you can become generous. Make yourself a priority in your
life and do what is right for yourself and achieving the goals that you want to achieve. Be
independent and focus on yourself.
28. Surround yourself with success models and eliminate failure models from your life
and mind.
29. Keep doing what works and stop doing what doesnt. Dont assume, try and see
what works. Split test everything and stick to winners. Keep track of the lessons that you
learn, write them down and do more of whatever works. If it doesnt work, just eliminate
it from your life and mind.
30. Maintain your composure. Control your emotions. Be complete and be balanced. If
you lose your emotions on something, that means you have to work on it. If others freak
out, you instead have to become calmer and a cold-calculating machine.
31. Prove to yourself over and over that you can deal with rejection. Remember if a girl
doesnt want you, it is her loss and not yourself. You can bring a lot more into her life
than she can bring into yours. I am the shiznit. If she doesnt want me, something is
wrong with her or she is just a lesbian.
33. Learn ot always enjoy youself no matter what is happening around you. You make
your own reality. Make it fun.

Repeat. Pefect practice makes a man perfect. And perfect practice means taking
things seriously and always fine-tuning things to the next level. Do it the right way,
dont pretend that you are doing it.
41. Constantly improve yourself. Get started, put it to test, improve it. Keep optimizing
whatever you do. You are never perfect, keep doing things that will have major impact on
your overall success and keep pushing it to a higher level.
