Things You Accomplished in 2015

[mastauser]

1. Stayed sober.
2. Handled a change in my financial situation with maturity and professional planning.
3. Got back together with a Spanish woman I met a long time ago. I decided I want kids before I'm too old to play with them (35 here), and she is a "traditional" woman from a small village in southern Spain, and the only woman I've ever fully trusted. Plus, she's smart, funny, a solid 8, and she knew me long before the change in my situation. I am going to meet her family over Christmas, which is something I'm actually looking forward to. When people from her sort of background trust you, they make you feel like family. There will be some amazing food in my near future.

I almost went bankrupt as a big project went downhill and client disappeared and I got no payments. All my year goals went downhill but things changed when I got another big contract and I'll be almost clocking $150K for this year. That is 5 fuckin' times more than the last year in revenue.

I also travelled to Turkey, Middle East, HongKong, Egypt, Macao. I also fucked 4 or 5 girls, I really forgot.

The up and downs of the financial situation which ranged from "pretty severe about to be on the streets" to "Not expected at all" had made me forgot about game, family, fitness and everything else in between.

I can't say that 2015 was my best year, but it was an improvement on years past. I had three main goals going into 2015:

- Finish my first book. I consider this one to be a success, as the bulk of the work is done. I just need to finish rewriting/editing a few parts. I also got a huge jump on my second book.

- Start a business. I consider this to be a success as well. I got something going early in the year, although once I had my MVP it quickly became obvious that it wasn't going to take off. I have since moved on to another business that I'm just about ready to launch, likely around the first of the year. If all goes well it will allow me to have my location independence.

- Quit porn for good. I failed on this one. However, I have made huge strides and I plan on going into 2016 with a nice little streak under my belt.

Some other goals that I accomplished this year:
- Read probably 20-30 books
- Got my TEFL certification
- Cut down to 7-8% bodyfat. I ended up putting some back on, but I'm still in the low teens.
- Made money as a freelancer. While it wasn't a livable amount by any stretch, it does give me the confidence to know that I have a shot at making my new business model work.

2016 goals:
- Build business, hopefully to the point of making a full time income
- Beat the porn thing once and for all
- Get back into gaming girls (this year was a disaster in that department)
- Travel more (again, didn't have the best year in this regard)

My biggest accomplishment for 2015 was moving to the place that makes me happy.
1) Moved to Norway after 2 intensive years learning Norwegian, and got a job in two days.
2) Mini trip alone to Ireland and Iceland
3) Started going to the gym again
4) Started approaching at least 5 girls a night while rolling solo
5) Quitted my parents basement and enjoy the freedom of being alone

My goals for 2016:
1) 15 Bangs
2) Going to the gym at least 5 times a week
3) Visit Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia
4) Develop Gorilla Mindset habits
5) Love myself and have rock inner game and frame

Where did you move from?

How are the people and the costs treating you?

 

[GreenLion]

Where did you move from?

How are the people and the costs treating you?

I moved from Nice, south of France, life is very expensive here but it was also in France so no big surprise for me. Price of alcohol and rent is almost the same, transports and food are more expensive and the food quality you find on grocery stores is not as high as in France though..
Well I just moved 1 month ago so in therms of people i cannot say much for the moment, but in general Norwegians treat me well because they are not used to foreigners who can speak the language after so little time spend here, and at night girls are friendlier than in France (ok they drink a lot too), and i noticed they are way friendlier if you speak norwegian to them instead of english.

 

[Papaya]

I gave up online game after one chick showed up with only one arm and focused strictly on daygame and nightgame after that.

Woah. How was that?!

Not good. You'll have to ask Atlantic about it. It didn't help that we all went to eat hotwings.

:clap2:

I know....I'm going to hell

 

[Pride male]

To the guys who wrote books, did you self publish or did your book get accepted by publishing house? Was it fiction or non fiction? Did you have to take classes to learn how to write?

 

[redbeard]

Building upon my 2014 accomplishments:

Got out of a long-term relationship and successfully back onto the dating market.

Went from never doing a pull-up in my life to being able to pound out five consistently.

After a bad ankle sprain I ballooned to 245 lbs. Now I'm back to 215/220, and between basketball, lifting, cooking my own meals, and juicing, I'm at the best overall fitness in my life.

Successfully adapted to the IF lifestyle and loving it.

Backpacked Europe for a month.

Joined RVF :Grouphug:

2015 Accomplishments

This year I wanted to get 12 notches, 1 a month, and as of Thanksgiving I hit that target. There's still two weeks to add another. All of them were quality bangs except for a slump buster in January.

Max chin-ups was 12

After joining the OG RVF Cutting Squad I cut down to 190. I am still in the best shape of my life. After the holidays I plan on slow bulking back into the 200's.

Still fasting, still loving it

Didn't travel as much as desired

Only got to a 40% ban level

2016 goals:

Game: 12 notches. I think the notch/month goal keeps me focused on game enough while putting most of my energy into money/fitness.

Gym: Eat carbs and focus on strength. Deadlift 400 lbs, OHP 140 lbs, 20 chinups in one set, squat something.

Green: Make my first $1000 online

 

[Mentavious]

Today was a big year in terms of financial stability for me.

Paid off all my loans
Bank no longer owns my car
Sold my share of a business
Moved up the chain as an engineer
Thanks for this thread I'm now Exec Plat with AA and Plat Elite with Marriot strictly through work trips and credit card sign ups. It's made traveling more enjoyable which has led me to want to travel even more!
Most importantly, I am well on my in accumulating seven figures in savings before the age of 30.

Other than that, it's been a solid year for my personal life.
35 new bangs this year
I've got solid contacts in Thailand, Mexico, Germany, Finland, and The Netherlands. All of which I've made this year.
I can officially say I'm at a conversational level at Spanish.
I'm still able to coach sprinters at a highschool (which is my passion) and basketball season starts up after New Years.

2016 goals?

Take a vacation in Asia

 

[General Mayhem]

2015:

- Graduated college

- Quit my job at the club downtown and figured out how to make money online.

- Got bored with online work and I came up with another side hustle where I made a few grand over the summer doing remodeling work. I came away from that with a bunch of ideas for brick and mortar businesses I could get into in the future.

- One year with my LTR. Learned a shit ton about women.

- Read a lot of quality books. I lost my list where I was keeping track, but I know I surpassed 2014 by a long shot.

2016 is going to be a big year.

 

[bootyhuntah]

Has been a great year which was focused on going way out of my comfort zone to visit a lot of obscure places, learning a new language, and putting together plans for starting a business in the new year.

-Started budget travelling in January in Latin America for 12+ months.
-Worked 0 hours
-Got to a solid intermediate conversational level of spanish, where I can have a full conversation on the phone now which took me a while to reach.
-Ate 23 tacos in one day in Mexico city.
-Had a young teenage virgin naked in my bed, only to be cock-blocked by her demanding mother, who repeatedly called her daughter and ordered her to come home immediately. Momma later got a hold of my number and hysterically threatened to report me to my embassy in Colombia. Had to block her. No virgin bang.
-Got robbed for the first time at gunpoint which gave me a new perspective on living and taught me to be a little less careless with taking standard precautions.
-Set myself up with some solid business contacts (and put together a biz plan) to start a new business in the coming year back in the states. Complete career change coming.
-Slept an insane amount this year, rarely using an alarm clock because I won't be sleeping much in the new year.
-Drank an absurd amount of stellar Latin American coffee and further increased my addiction to my favorite drug.
-19 new bangs, 9 of which came from day game. Of these bangs, 6 spoke English.
-6 new flags.

There's room for improvement here without doubt, and definitely left quite a few bangs on the table for various reasons. But overall, I'm quite happy with the way things went this year. Looking for some big things to happen in '16 .

I want to hear more from Linux about banging twins.

I've done sisters, but never at once and certainly not twins.

Also, on a less than positive note
1. Got fired from my job
2. Got into a LTR
3. Am in worst shape than Jan 1st of last year

On a positive note
1. Back in grad school for job I actually want
2. LTR with shared bank account and she makes 6 figures (I have not made a dime while living with her)
3. Paid off all credit cards, restructured my car payment and started repaying school loans (all thanks to 2^)
4. I'm in a position to grow next year with a job, gym and the time to learn separate from that
5. I've been on a ton of sweet trips this past year, probably more vacations than I've ever had

Figure out living situation, probably invest in some Real Estate in my native region.

Learn more about Relationship Game.

 

[reliquary]

I discovered game and this forum at the very end of 2014. 2015 was a transformative year for me in terms of the direction I took my life and where I plan to take it in the future.

First SDL from a daygame approach.

First SDL from online.

About 25 lays in all, which is 25 more than I would have had without the forum.

A couple of nice plates I have good emotional connections with; game has allowed me to get girls that share my interests, instead of me just wondering why I couldn't get girls even though they did share my interests.

Replaced over half my wardrobe and expanded it significantly with quality items. ~15 shirts, 3 suits, 1 custom fitted, two new coats, 10 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of shorts, pair of jeans, sunglasses.

Recomped about 30 lbs of fat with muscle.

Learned estrogen was ruining my life and took aggressive action to improve my supplement regime overall.

Got one of the best paying jobs (short of life ruining investment banking) out of undergrad in a dope city (Austin TX).

Began learning Russian.

Opened an investment account and began playing around with some toy money.

Read extensively.


For 2016:

Graduate.

Establish a dope pad in ATX with solid logistics.

Network aggressively to be able to get an international engagement at my new job.

Will begin learning Spanish (already scheduled in)

Continue learning Russian. (also already scheduled in)

Perhaps dabble in French.

Aggressively begin saving in 401 up to match max, put money into portfolio, and leave some for savings.

Plan out a location independent gig. (related to previous)

Kill off the last bit of my stomach pouch and continue optimizing my fitness and nutrition regime.

Finish out my new wardrobe with two more custom suits and custom tux, 10 more shirts, an overcoat, better fitting t shirts, jeans, and sweaters.

Continue meeting with RVF members to share knowledge, become more well-rounded, and build out a strong network. (1 already in the works for Jan.)

Plan my first real foray into game-aware international travel.

Continue to read extensively.

These thoughts were all vaguely floating around in my head, thanks ONE A DAY for providing a place for all of us to see where others are and to get these commitments down on (metaphorical) paper.
