Hey Roger, good to see you here. You used to post in my log when I was obese and it's great to see you here again.
I would be happy to meet up. I am currently in London, but will leave here tomorrow. Thereafter, I'll be heading back to my parents for a while to be honest with you to focus on business and body. I will probably cold approach, though there's no volume out there, and will come to London regularly to see my friends. I will keep working hard as humanly possible and possibly my life will get better if I am able to find a solution.
It would be great to meet you and get to know you more. I see you're in Germany? I've visited many times and really like Germany a lot, my best friend Dave was born there and we have done a lot of travel and tourism there exploring his roots.
You're welcome to expand on this if you wish, but you don't have to, I've met tonnes of guys from here and some of my close friends I met from this forum.

Hey Ravi, nice to know your name now
Awesome you're focusing on body + business! Honestly that's my focus now too (mostly business-side, but I've learned in the past year life isn't worth living without some bare minimum exercise).
I could visit you in London sometime (you mentioned you'll go out to London periodically?) or if you want to visit me in Germany that's cool too. Depending on what business you're working on (I guess it's product dev but idk what that is tbh) maybe we can make the trip business-first and approaching-second. For example, I was already thinking of hitting up Dubai at some point in 2023.
One more actionable question since we probably won't be meeting very soon: have you read think & grow rich by napoleon hill yet?
Yes indeed! Great to connect, Roger. So, yes, you're absolutely on the money here I will be pushing business and body very, very, very hard. This will be my obsession, like geting laid was my obsession this year, and man I am confident I am going to crush it.
I absolutely am not letting dating & women fall to the wayside, that is not happening. One of my many accountability partners from Andys coaching did this, and regrets it massively. Until I have achieved my goal (when you see me post a picture of my first child, that'll be me done and I'll just focus on being the best businessman and Dad I can be) I will consistently engage with women.
I have a plan, and this plan has been informed by my coaches, mentors, advisors, and peers/community here - this hardcore self improvement project is about to be wrapped up. But man have I come far. Because you took a break from the forum, and perhaps don't recall my initial starting point (you did used to post in this log) I'll recap:
-Moved to London Nov 1st with a wonderful guy from this forum, my bro Timmy
-Went ALL IN, switched my job to remote & part time (20hrs a week)
-Put all my time, money, resources into self improvement - spent my life savings this year pretty much and did nothing but cold approch, date, and work hard to become a better man. I burned myself all the way down to the ground and built myself up again. Many tears were shed, many sleepless nights, but I broke myself off to achieve the mission which was:
1) 10 lays (achieved 9/10 - I went from 0 lays in Jan 2022 to 9 as of Dec 2022)
2) Beat Approach Anxiety (the real ones know that this is the greatest achievement in this log, I was unable to approach for months literally going home screaming into a pillow heart pounding for months, my hair fell out, I aged from this, it was the dragon and through sheer force of will and just going out there again and again, 4hrs a day, every day for 9 months - I did it. Aproached ~1000 girls in the process. No lays but I achieved the goal)
3) Get to 185lbs (I started here at 250lbs, and today, I am 187.9lbs)
I am still a legend and a winner because I was the biggest loser this website has ever seen.
And now I am on my way to becoming successful....If a 29 year old, totally obese, anxiety ridden, mentally destroyed wreck of a human can do this, and I was playing on nightmare mode the whole time with my fucked up psychology, what isn't possible for a truly driven man?
Now I've caught you up.
Let's talk on Telegram video some time bro. I would love to hang out in London, and that is usually what I will do with the international guys from the forum, usually, I just meet them here, show them around, bond and enjoy some bro time, and explore ways in which we can exchange knowledge, collaborate, and build a relationship. This has been very fruitful and the guys here are solid as a rock. As am I and everyone can vouch pretty much. Few are as serious about success and I am proud of that.
My business is actually an accountability, productivity, and consistency coaching business, which blends my background as a project manager with wellness, biohacking, and high level structure, process and accountability to help people really smash their goals. It's how I got all my shit done and how I transformed my own life in this very public log.
OK so this is in the theme of positivity and brain reconditioning: beliefs and belief work in general needs more attention and it's a message Andy kinda instilled in me and we've been working on this behind the scenes a lot. My head was truly evil for a long time, my baseline now would you believe is atleast 500x better than it used to be! Many have brought this up now Manly Cockfellow seanconneryfan_ recently, AskTheDom and Paw have been on my case about this for a long time now. I HAVE been doing mindset work and its helped a lot, I listen to Andys content a lot and that has helped a lot, but I will only benefit from doing more of this work so here's my action:
-I will start reading Think & Grow Rich today. I will tag you tonight and tell you how much I read. I will repeat this process until I have completed one read through, it won't take more than 1 week. Thereafter, in true MAC fashion, I can repeat this 5 x to really affirm it into my subconscious.
I am sure a moment will come when it clicks within my mind and I can make the switch from the losers to the winner's mindset. It has already happened to a significant degree and those who are around me and talk to me can "feel it".
DM me your number would love to learn more about you and how I can help you in any way.
Ravi
