I mean, heck, I've been doing back-to-back bootcamps for the past year and mostly on my own. <BR/><BR/>Now that I'm bringing in coaches to help out, it's definitely helped relieve some of the pressure. But I'm still the one that has to do the lecture/exercises portion as well as lead/coordinate the in-field work.<BR/><BR/>It's certainly not an easy thing, but I know I get seriously energized and charged when I see my students doing really well. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, taking a vacation away from it all and all the airplane travel is something we all have to do before serious burnout happens. No real easy answer as we all have to find our own way to balance our commitments and workload.The Asian Playboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16795096447630342932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-69966135457415172952007-03-11T14:28:00.000-07:002007-03-11T14:28:00.000-07:00Dude, Since meeting you I have found new inspirati...Dude, Since meeting you I have found new inspiration for my life in the Game.

Now I'm back on the job and enjoying my work since I had that break. Once you start hating your job you need to step back, get some perspective, and consider taking a break.<BR/><BR/>I think you've already done the above, so take the break you deserve.<BR/><BR/>Do you think your purpose in life is to always be a seduction instructor? If yes, then you need to take a break so you don't burn out on your purpose. If no, you need to take a break to see what your true purpose is. Note that both options involve stopping.Ryan Leavengoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532140276745104124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-6829679300628792912007-03-10T20:04:00.000-08:002007-03-10T20:04:00.000-08:00http://www.amazon.com/First-Things-Stephen-R-Covey...http://www.amazon.com/First-Things-Stephen-R-Covey/dp/0671864416Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-13228489368741453012007-03-10T19:37:00.000-08:002007-03-10T19:37:00.000-08:00I had to quit fundraising for a while for similar ...I had to quit fundraising for a while for similar reasons to what you're posting here. Taking the rust off sucks. If you keep going the way you are, you will burn out. Take a month off, pace yourself in the future. There is plenty of NLP and Inner Game stuff out there for you to learn how to do that, along with "7 Habits Of Highly Effective People" & "First Things First". <BR/><BR/>Everyone is better off, students and yourself, if you are able to this in a way that doesn't jeopardize your personal life, or your comic career.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-20865202063791810902007-03-10T18:36:00.000-08:002007-03-10T18:36:00.000-08:00Hey dude,Its Metro from Sydney.You are definetly t...Hey dude,<BR/><BR/>Its Metro from Sydney.<BR/><BR/>You are definetly the hardest working instructor i have met.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work.

You need to give yourself a break. I checked out the schedule the other day, and dude, seriously, it reads "Sinn, Sinn, Sinn, Sinn, Sinn, Sinn". It's not sustainable. I have been impressed with the way that you seem to have integrated the game naturally into the rest of your life without letting it overtake you. Don't let go of that, set some boundaries so that you can have a life outside work.<BR/><BR/>In particular, the other guys should be able to back you up enough to cover. There is no sense in them running their best instructor into the ground. Set some boundaries for yourself, and now that you know where your limit is, plan future schedules accordingly.<BR/><BR/>Of course, another take on this is that you are jetlagged, tired, and missing HBPerfect! Reframe, and remember, you have created this situation for yourself, what can you learn from it (etc etc and all the other Hall/NLP stuff).<BR/><BR/>Hope to see you at Day Game in London, but if it's the right thing for you, ditch it. You have put in more than you have gotten out of gaming - 90 bootcamps plus one on ones is 1000 students. You don't owe the community anything.<BR/><BR/>Sure you will do the right thing,<BR/><BR/>CCCheshire Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107053342454040563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-35339722172304856492007-03-10T11:55:00.000-08:002007-03-10T11:55:00.000-08:00I HIGHLY doubt that Masters is with VA!!!I HIGHLY doubt that Masters is with VA!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-72355958340473338262007-03-10T10:38:00.000-08:002007-03-10T10:38:00.000-08:00hey man,take a break :)) the consequences of getti...hey man,<BR/><BR/>take a break :)) the consequences of getting burned out are ... well, you probably know what they are... :) eat well, sleep well, go to Hawaii with an HBPerfect... or pick one up where you there (effortlessly :))<BR/><BR/>by the way, why isn't the Leadership Team page on the MMC website up-to-date?

IMO the reason is: it's hard wired in your mind the obligation of gaming (and this can real be related to your tough routine of giving workshops one after another without some "time-off", so it's just in your mind all the time). So as crac said, I break could make all the difference. I'm not a PUA, I'm hardly trying to get to this point, and even without practicing and going out that much sometimes I feel really tired about reading game stuff and having to practice, so imagine you that is over and over teaching and going out for that? Take a break, dude, I'm sure everybody will understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-89203010778446578432007-03-10T09:37:00.000-08:002007-03-10T09:37:00.000-08:00sinn, seriously take a break, ur own health must b...sinn, seriously take a break, ur own health must be more important then ur job man, go reread what you wrote in that last post, if u hate gaming, u kind of hate your job, maybe ur just talking like this cuz of that bad night or u really feel thsi way, but seriously i think i should take a break, ur killin urselfJason Abdianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14024714661661548749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-20329471823905531332007-03-10T09:10:00.000-08:002007-03-10T09:10:00.000-08:00Hang in there.
