It doesn’t matter that you’re making good time, if you are heading in the wrong direction. To become and remain successful in business and in life you must make the decisions that will keep you moving toward your goals. Any actions that do not take you directly toward your objectives – take you toward destruction and failure.

This is particularly true when it comes to business strategic development whose mission it is to establish and/or maintain your strategic competitive advantage. Taking your eyes off the prize, even for a second can be disastrous. Being convinced of your own infallibility when it comes to strategy development can be fatal.

The most effective way to make better decisions every time is when you can consistently take advantage of the wisdom of others, a group of your peers. This process of leveraging the power of small group dynamics will increase the percentage of right decisions, reduce unproductive actions, and eliminate the feeling of isolation so common for successful business owners.

Business owners make important decisions every day.  And with each decision, a virtual cascade of results are set into motion. Every decision must be clear and sound. It is no wonder, given the potential of every decision, that making them with confidence is the #1 concern of business owners and executives.

Business owners know that their strategic competitive advantage is at risk when they make decisions in a vacuum – without a sounding board, without access to relevant experience, without the support of colleagues and contemporaries whose opinions and feedback they trust, they are likely to sacrifice optimal performance, efficiency, and perspective that could avoid negative and time consuming consequences.

Unfortunately most business owners don’t know who they can trust or turn to. Most business owners are isolated with no one around they can trust, especially when it comes to business strategic development and other critical issues. Everyone seems to have their own agenda – their own ax to grind.

In the world of the 21st Century the things they don’t know keep growing and the things they know for sure keep diminishing. They are frustrated by being so out of control, with no end in sight

On the other hand, leaders creating the most powerful results for their business do so as a result of the clear and sound decisions they make after collaborating with their group of trusted colleagues. These top executives surround themselves with other capable minds. It’s the obvious solution now that you think about it, isn’t it?

When creating developing and implementing their business strategic development road map successful business owners look to their non-competitive peers for access to possibilities they might be missing.

When your peer group, your “Strategic Conversations” group is comprised of individuals you trust and admire, who are from your industry yet who are not your competitors their insights will help you leverage your strategic competitive advantage and you will do the same for them.

This sounding board of mutual support will dramatically expand your objectivity and add to your perspective based on their experiences. You will expand your resources – learn what others are doing, raise your level of accountability to yourself because your fellow members are watching.

Think about the last time you faced a problem or were about to make a decision for the first time. Who did you turn to and confide in? Who did you trust in confidence for unbiased feedback, support and perspective?  Wouldn’t it be great if there were people available to you right now, this very minute?

The entire Strategic Conversations process is free, no strings attached.

You’ll learn how to flesh out ideas and build consensus.

We’ll show you how to effectively communicate from problem to solution to results – getting valuable feedback from your peers so the right decisions can be executed quickly.

Think of Strategic Conversations as a virtual think-tank of trusted and valued peers that provides you with the opportunity to exchange and share ideas and experiences so you can get on the fast track to your success.

Business strategic development success results from one thing and one thing only! It comes from making better decisions. It’s that simple, not easy to do on your own however. In fact the most successful leaders among us, in every walk of life, systematically reach out to their hand-pick board of advocates and supporters for insights and advice.

You can have the same tools for creating your own strategic planning and marketing team, a no cost whatsoever. Simply go to www.StrategicConversations.biz and watch the five minute video. Once you join you will receive a powerful video series that will show you how to make decisions about the directions you take and the plans you make with greater confidence.

Ever since mentioned in ‘The Game’ by Neil Strauss, the October Man Sequence has become somewhat of a legend. It purportedly is able to make a woman want to go to bed with a man in as fast as 15 minutes. On the perhaps negative side, it is also known to make stalkers out of the woman that the sequence is performed on!

During its release, the October Man Sequence had caused quite a stir in the seduction community, as evidenced by multiple threads on the sequence in almost all the major forums in the community.

So what really is October Man Sequence?

The October Man Sequence was originated by a veteran in the seduction community who went by the pseudonym IN10SE. He was portrayed as one of the key players in Neil Strauss’ book (where he was known as Twotimer). IN10SE was also a student of Speed Seduction guru Ross Jeffries and a peer of Swinggcat (the writer of Real World Seduction).

IN10SE had based the technique on Milton Erickson’s February Man book (he had renamed it the ‘October Man’ because his birthday was in October). The sequence was designed around hypnosis and NLP concepts such as framing, focus, intention and fractionation.

The basic premise of the October Man is symbolism. The concept of symbolism in hypnosis is the idea of turning a particular feeling in a person into a symbol which is then manipulated. The symbol is anchored towards another person (the hypnotist) and this is further used in order to invoke certain feelings (pleasure or pain) in the person.

This symbol is the link into a person’s unconscious. By controlling this symbol, it is therefore possible to control the person’s feelings at will.

Concerns on the use of the October Man Sequence

There were some concerns on the usage of this seduction pattern. It is so potent that according to IN10SE, using this technique is akin to “bringing a nuclear bomb to a gunfight”.

For some time, seduction gurus have taken the stand not to teach such patterns because they were thought to bring more harm than good. However, this purportedly ‘dark’ technique was finally released by IN10SE after some fake materials exchanged hands at Ebay for good money.

While this technique might not be suitable for everyone, anyone with even a passing interest in the sequence should go to the IN10SE’s website and download a PDF sample of the book. Also, there is free audio where the author himself goes through a demonstration of sexual value elicitation.

According to Sinn, an instructor with Mystery Method, “(It is) far and away the best NLP product I’ve seen”. The jury is still out on whether the October Man Sequence is the deadliest seduction sequence known to man, but it remains a highly potent weapon in the seductionist’s toolbox.

I will be the first to admit this is not a professional recording. It was recorded at my house, in my livingroom, and I ran into problems with the lighting and the autofocus on my camera. I also had to edit out a whole bunch of interruptions.

But this is as far as I know, the only video introduction to The October Man that’s out there, so enjoy!
