The Best COC Yet? Find out Tomorrow When it Releases

The title speaks for itself and if you’re a 247 AM fan then this should send excitement triggers to your brain.

This special April Champions of Choice Audio Pack will have both a beginner/foundations component which talks about the basics of leading in motion and how to make the action of leading into a habit. For EVERY MAN OUT THERE who wants to learn how to lead, this is probably the best part of this COC to listen to.

From there we progress into the semi-intermediate to intermediate segment where we talk about things like game planning, contingencies, avoiding mistakes, and leading as an action or reaction for those 247 AM die-hards who love to know the technical aspect of the game.

Leadership in Motion releases TOMORROW, APRIL 21 around Midnight. You can find out about our amazing membership audio program that’s been running for 5 years now by clicking on our site below:

Click on this Image NOW to cop this crucial COC before it goes away on April 17!

I hate to say it but Troy did it again this time with this Champions of Choice release this month with Consistency Secrets. In my opinion, it’s the best CoC to date as I’ve realized lately how important consistency is to how you feel about your life and relationships in general. You can have the clothes, the job, the pad, the wheels, but if you’re not consistent with who you are, you won’t feel happy and you won’t be getting the results you want.

I really enjoyed the 2nd half of the audio where Troy went through the different attributes and how they applied to consistency. Learning to not be a ‘yes man’ and being able to poke fun at yourself is truly the key to living an enjoyable life. I can just remember all the damn laughs me, Troy and Carlo had every single day on the lifestyle retreat simply because us 3 truly valued our time together and enjoying every minute we can, which allowed us to be able to sit there, poke fun and laugh at the dumbest shit.  I still remember day 1 of the Retreat where we were doing ONLY this and the girls were already telling us they wanted to go home with us at the pad. Great fucking times.

The way the CoC’s are going, I believe this year will be the year of evolution. If you’re not applying these last 3 CoC’s into your life (habit buster, social circle expansion and consistency), you’re going to be stuck in limbo for a long time. This Consistency CoC really hits the point home hard on the threads of living an attractive life – life is all about love: love from others and loving yourself! Shit, you can go all the way back to the Bible – you can’t love others until you love yourself. And if you can’t love yourself, how are you going to pick up your feet, move them forward and improve your life? How are you going to provide for a great girl when you can’t even satisfy your own wants? It’s easier said than done – much easier. In order to move forward, you have to have drive.

Well, let this CoC be the key to the ignition. Yes, external validation is an extremely important part of the journey, but I will be the first one to tell you that I would never be where I am until I spent months and months changing myself internally. And honestly, what fired me into the next realm was simply investing thousands of dollars and maxing my credit cards for my archetype, getting an expensive apartment, being forced into a 40 hour/week job. Was it a risk? YES. Was it worth it? HELL YES. And I’ll be in debt for awhile! But I don’t care because it was fucking worth it. Buying 2 grand worth of clothes and shoes transformed me both externally and internally.

I also did a lot of dating the past 5 months which helped bring my insecurities to my face. Turns out that I am a pretty emotional dude. Lame to admit, but now that I KNOW this, I can control it instead of blowing up and being needy/idiot/desperate/dumbass then feeling dumb later/shame/guilt/etc. Seriously deep stuff but important nonetheless. There really is no faster way of having your deep insecurities brought to the surface until you date and have them blow up in your face. Then you can smash them to bits.

Yep this got super long. All in all I will say that Archetype leads to internal validation. Looking good leads to external validation which leads to confidence in yourself which leads to comfortable in yourself which leads to being unshakeable and as you begin to live this way and like who you are, you become consistent which is key. Throw in a little bit of leadership, poke fun at yourself, don’t be a push over, date a little bit join a gym and consistently workout and the full evolution from chump to stud is complete. For me, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve dated some crazy’s along the way and have had my self-esteem smashed to bits. But instead of going back into a corner, I picked myself up, kept looked forward, talked to my mentors and before you know it, higher than ever.

I highly recommend copping this COC to keep for an everyday reference with respect to consistency and also as a constant reminder of WHY you’re doing this. This goes down as one of the best ones in history.

This is my version of #LINSANITY!

When I got some new packages for Shop Contraband, I already knew I was to make this post about Jeremy Lin and his sports memorabilia like his Jersey, shirts, sneakers, and other pieces of clothing. Its hard to ignore but the fact of the matter is the Orange and Blue is finally back for the Spring/Summer season. If you want to swag HARD then this is your opportunity.

By this time, you already know who Jeremy Lin is. Unless you’re living in a cave you probably raved about this NBA sensation that swept everyone away. At first I thought he was just going to be a fad but in seven straight games this young asian man with such talent killed it.

Some people DO live in a cave so if you missed out you can always read about him HERE.

With all the buzz, I made sure to be part of LINSANITY.  I pre-ordered my own Jeremy Lin jersey from the Knicks Store for Shop Contraband back in February and got these bad boys when they released in March. I also bought a bunch of the T-shirts too since I knew the Knicks and Jeremy Lin would cause a shockwave in the NBA and sports in general. From there some of my celebrity friends even asked me to grab some for them. Here’s some more add ons I put:

The other thing I got was the now sold out Mitchell and Ness Snapback Hat that Floyd Mayweather wore on one of his signings (around $30). There are tons of Mitchell and Ness snapbacks that you can get from pickyourshoes.com and we did recommend them way back on our Swagger Fashion Tips articles. This one I got is sold out but you can get it through us.

In true baller fashion I added the Ambush Pow Keychain in 18K Gold finish. This piece is pretty much sold out anywhere and goes for around $180.00. Big Sean and Kanye spread this fad and with gold chains coming back it would be great to cop one for a stand out neck piece.

Also pictured are two Jeremy Lin autographed rookie cards I copped right before the wave kicked in. Right now they’re about $600 each. Honestly the only thing missing now is the Linsanity Hyperdunks and I’m currently working on that.

It’s quite unfortunate our guy Jeremy Lin is injured right now, but as I’ve always said about Chris Brown, no matter how many times a winner gets pounded down, they always shine by default and get back on the spotlight. I wear his gear because of my admiration of his talent, achievements and hard work, and of course since he’s pretty much one of the VERY FEW Asian American role models out there.

Walk with Troy and Experience the Magic

Hey guys. I would like to share and immortalize my unforgettable 247 Attractive Man Private Instruction weekend with Troy. I can say first hand that I experienced “the magic.” I got laid 3 separate times during the camp, one for each day, and Troy did not disappoint.  My private instruction camp was one of the most exhilarating, eye opening experiences of my life and in terms of results, this camp went above and beyond which is what Troy says is his goal when he teaches live programs. He wants to get every client on the path of 247 Attractiveness beyond the 2 and a half days together. I hope you enjoy the lessons here because I myself look back and reminisce on what happened a lot.

I met Troy 6 months back and I remember him telling my Manila Weekend classmates that I would eventually get real good with women. That really stuck with me because I was the type of guy who really longed for getting an elegant, classy, attractive woman (as I am elegant and classy as well). The problem was that I had made some cardinal mistakes with women according to Troy that a real-time, live program could only fix. So without hesitation and knowing what he already has done for me (I got laid after the Manila Weekend and the night before the PI too), I signed up!

A few minutes before my PI, I gave Troy my 3 page pre-event questionnaire on what I feel I am missing as well as what I wanted to know during my 2 days with him. He said it was the best pre-event questionnaire he’d ever read due to the details and honesty that I displayed. From there he took his white board and started talking non-stop for hours. The lecture ended and like many others who have taken Troy’s programs I was a zombie.  I immediately found myself with confusion and occasional AHA moments to the point where digesting made me zone out at times.

There were some crazy times in this camp, and honestly I wasn’t thinking all of this would happen within 2 days.

Sometime during our discussions, a very beautiful girl messaged Troy in Facebook and Troy showed me in real time about how some women really don’t mean what they say (see How to Attract Many Women video at the free lessons). The girl was basically throwing bones. She told Troy that she won’t be going around Manila when she visits because she might get bored. Troy didn’t bite the bone and instead replied by telling the girl not to go out then and just stay at her condo. The girl then immediately contradicted her previous message and said that she wanted to go out and do all sorts of things. I got startled how fast the girl changed what she was saying. I remember what Troy taught in the Coaching Class Plus on Escalation and how guys shouldn’t bite the bone that women would throw. In this instance I saw what I (and 99% of the other guys) did wrong… only this was in real time, with Troy typing on his laptop just beside me!

He also discussed archetypes and how important it is because it attracts people to me. First, Troy changed into his designer clothes, belt and shoes. He asked me what my impression is and I told him honestly he looked like a bad boy but still approachable by other people(his black and white checkered polo had a high collar that reminded me of Counts in medieval Europe, while the fit exaggerated his traps and shoulders). He then removed the checkered polo and put on a black fit shirt. Right then and there the aura of the room seemed to have changed. He transformed to an approachable bad boy, to a completely different unapproachable mean cocky swagger. He then switched to different ones to explain which ones he would wear on a date/to a club/to meeting out with friends, etc. That was the best lesson in archetype I ever had. He was transforming from one to another thing in a matter of seconds.

When the night has approached us, Troy gave me last minute instructions on the bar setting. He then left me to change my wardrobe. I was in the bathroom and found myself staring at the mirror. I told myself that this is it. I must perform tonight and not let Troy get disappointed. Although I am just a student, I felt that he had expectations of me. Moreover, I reminded myself that it’s not my goal to be a 247 guy. My goal was to be an elite 247. I told myself to stop thinking onwards, flow with the 247 lessons and never to choke.

We entered the bar and I quickly spotted a tall (with high heels she stood about 5ft 11 inches) elegant woman. I asked myself how come I have never had such a woman. This girl is the type that would normally stun me before I got into 247. Troy then told me to approach her but refrain from showing initial interest during my small talk to her. I did the small talk. Told the girl I will come back at the high point.

Minutes later she’s still in her spot waiting for her friends, and Troy tells me to tell her, “Listen, you should join us in our table or else you’ll look like you lost the lotto or something.” I never thought I would be able to say that to a tall, attractive woman. Troy just told me to trust him so when the timing was there I walked over and said it. To my surprise (and everyone at our table), she came!!!

The next hour or so was me projecting confidence and a fun vibe that got me initial success with 247 before the PI. I also made sure not to make the previous mistakes I used to do which was being needy or pushy. Troy took me to a half time break outside of the club and gave me a final briefing on what to expect if it all were to go down. We discussed foreshadowing and pulling. When we came back, she was REALLY looking for us hard! This was the effect of retention, Troy said… where all you have to do is make a very powerful impression and from there you can leave and she’ll want you more.

Troy made his gracious and really ninja exit from the club then, and sticking to the game plan we moved to the other spot to unwind. The server came to us and said, “its the last call for drinks.” When I said okay the first thing she said was “lets just go back to your condo.” Before I knew it, we were at the 247 condo, she’s in MY BED and I was working on her!

The effects of 247 lessons didn’t just end at the condo on that night. The girl stayed in constant touch with me even after almost 2 weeks! And no, this was not a lame girl. I eventually found out that she has a graduate degree and was previously a directress of a modelling group. She was exceptional, and Troy showed how the system made getting exceptional girls too easy. The system is truly designed to get those types of girls, not lame ones. Oh, this chick also new what to do with her body on the dance floor, trust me.

As I look back on those 2 days and 1 night of PI, I still get excited on what happened. The lessons, realizations and experience gave me a new outlook in life, something that I could use not just in getting women, but in different areas of my life (that’s why 247attractive is called LIFESTYLE). I also noticed that my PI was very specific to where I am currently at in my life. I look at the reviews of other students on their PI and they seem to have received other lessons that were not taught to me. For that reason, I plan to continue with the Champions of Choice, Coaching Class Plus and maybe after 1 year, get another PI. I suspect that I will be almost a different person by then. So the lessons will not only be different, but Troy himself would have new lessons because he can build on the experiences of other clients.

On Tuan getting his L-L On: Brown leather golfer cap and wool/leather varisty jacket by Jordan Brand. SWAG.

We’re currently at the Walk with Troy and Experience the Magic weekend here in beautiful Seoul Korea. Hopefully through these pictures you can get a feel for our amazing experience here and someday sign up when the opportunity to come back here opens again. Its so worth it, guys.

One of my inspirations for going to Korea (other than the women, which one of my crewmates already said, he “loves so much” being here a mere two days), is the FASHION. As many of you know, pop culture is really heavy here in Seoul. Matter of fact, they have their OWN brand of pop culture called K-Pop. Its so powerful that K-Pop to this day has many NON-KOREAN fans that enjoy the music, style, fashion, and personalities within that world. I myself enjoy some K-Pop even if I don’t understand what the heck they’re saying.

Onto the serious side:

As a fashion expert, I find my inspiration from delving deep into other cultures and sub cultures, and that’s how I’m able to put together some really tight archetypes and outfits for our personal Shop Contraband clients. Like Bruce Lee, my idol, I see what works and what doesn’t in a particular culture and take the best things from it that suit myself and my clients.

The advantage in Seoul is that the fashion is pretty loud that you can get key pieces that show DETAIL. No, you shouldn’t go extreme but the scarves, jackets, blazers, and hand-made shoes have a ton of detail.

Seoul has everything, that’s why if you want more tips when you get here, keep reading:

Check out the back of this amazing wool jacket!

As a personal stylist I had to take advantage of that. My client flew all the way from London England and had style issues primarily because he’s an Asian and most clothes in London don’t really fit him well nor are tailored fit to make him look good. As expected, doing the bootcamp here in Seoul really delivered. He was able to get ENTIRE  SWAG OUTFITS for his Winter and Spring fashion for a fraction of what it would cost him to buy one or two jackets in London at a very expensive price.

So for this shopping spree, we outfitted our client with Wool Coats, special blazers, bomber and varsity jackets. He also spotted for himself a nice leather backpack that would compliment his entire look when he goes back for University in London. As I’ve said before we are fashion experts that make you look like the above average and exceptional version of yourself. So if you’re a student we make you look like an exceptional looking student… if you’re an executive we make you an exceptional looking executive.

Now the BIG REASON to go to Seoul is the brand MCM. MCM is a rising brand that is too good that we have to make a separate article on it. We’ve been mobbed by Japanese and Korean girls because we rock our MCM’s like we just took our Cadillac’s out the driveway. Unfortunately MCM doesn’t have many boutiques worldwide, and I myself have to get my stuff shipped from Seoul so going into Seoul my mouth started salivating going to the source of all the good stuff. MCM is a German brand that’s been around for quite awhile but it was only when the K-Pop stars as well as stars in Hollywood were rocking it that it got big.

You can check their English website and blog HERE

Crew Mate CL247 Wearing a Beige MCM Visetos Backpack at MCM Haus

So, we went to MCM HAUS, which, if you go to Seoul, is just in front of the Galleria Mall in Seoul, Korea if you’re looking for it. The highlight item of MCM are the Visetos Stark Backpacks, which are all the craze nowadays worldwide. They might set you a few bucks back (one backpack is around $600-$700), but trust me, its going to really catch the attention of any fashion-forward person and you’ll get a lot of respect for it. It also might be a good goal or gift to yourself if you start breaking the bank someday lol.

So, where do you go here for fashion if you’re a guy? First, go to Itaewon. Don’t expect much from the outer appearance of the place, as its a collection of underground markets (yes, you heard me) as well as bazaars and such. This is perfect for the fashion seeker that really is training his eye for key stuff. If you’re the adventurous type I suggest spending a good 2-3 hours in Itaewon.

If you’re going for retail stores, the place to go is Myeong Dong shopping district. They have everything there and if you want to see what Korean fashion retail-wise is, its the place to go. We’re going to really explore Myeong Dong on Sunday, but when we tried it out on Thursday we were very impressed.

What else to expect from Seoul? A lot of walking and cardio. It’s really great because the weather is amazing (it snowed today lightly), so its always a nice day out unless it hits the negatives.

Okay, that’s all for now. We’re just two days in here and there’s so much going on already. Now on what happened with the women, I think I’ll reserve the stories for the clients to tell themselves. We will be back here again near the end of the year so definitely think about doing a Walk with Troy and Experience the Magic Weekend in Seoul. It’ll be one of the best decisions you’ll ever make in your life.

On this 45 minute members-only audio I’ll be talking about my personal consistency secrets that’s brought our system to a results-driving mecca of learning how to be naturally good with women. We’ll go deep into the five attributes, namely

a) Leadership

b) Unshakability

c) Fun

d) Comfortable Under your Own Skin, and

e) Consistency

… and we’ll talk about my personal methods and exercises that bring me and many of our top dogs to a very consistent, unconscious competent level of 247 attractiveness. If you are weak or inconsistent in any of these areas this is the COC to learn from because I talk about how I take the 5 attributes and apply them to my day to day activities and harness them.

I’ll also be talking about how to make CONSISTENTLY GOOD LIFESTYLE CHOICES… as this is a factor most generic guys and guys who aren’t good with women fail on. I’ll teach you my personal mindset on this and how it affects my consistency.

If you want to know how we’re attractive all day, all night… then this COC is definitely a must-own.

More info tomorrow. This is our third release for 2012 and we have been releasing over 50 member audios every month since 2008. Click the image above for details about our awesome Champions of Choice program.
