thanks guys - the post-drills support has been great and is really helping me advance quickly

Heartwork - i totally hear what your saying about demos - i definitely think the value of seeing you guys in the field is more to pick up on the vibe rather than seeing technical demos - its good to experience it, feel it and be able to model it - you running around the bookstore with a stack of books really inspired me to have more fun when i go out - just feeling that energy was extremely valuable and i tapped into that a bit when i went out last night

Brian - my understanding of the drills system is that it is important to continue to practice the drills - my intention was to master each one - thats just how i imagined the system was intended to work - master the drills and then your responses will be automatic in the field - i hear what your saying about some of the emotional shit - that is more of a inner core shift and needs to be done with a qualified instructor - but i think it would be very helpful to drill the more technical conversational stuff - cold reads, role playing, shaping, threading, etc. - that is the part that takes time/practice to learn i think - i mean, i took really good notes but some of the drills i have no idea what they are about
