The manual was revised for Drills 2.0. It was improved drastically over 1.0, and is very representative of the major changes we made to the actual bootcamp concept.
The premise of Drills 1.0 is that you attend the bootcamp, understand how to do the drills and then continue practicing over the next few months. Because of that, Drills 1.0's manual was a little more descriptive of the drill instructions.
Drills 2.0 was completely revamped and is truly a much more immersive experience where the emphasis is placed on the feedback.
Therefore, the Drills 2.0 manual was specifically designed to accomodate the massive amount of perceptual feedback a student will get during a bootcamp.
That's why if you look at a Drills 2.0 manual, all of the pages are dedicated to the FSE feedback system for each drill as opposed to the minute details of each drill - it's much more valuable.
We have even spent an enormous amount of time and resources developing the FSE feedback system - which is an entire method (much more sophisticated than any pick-up method) of giving feedback to a student.
(If you're curious about the FSE feedback system, and the theory behind drills you'll be able to see all the behind the scenes thinking that went into it in The Attraction Code which is being released in April)
The result is that we are making much more rapid progress with the students, with several students getting laid during bootcamp or the 1 or 2 days right after the bootcamp.
In other words, we have REDUCED or even ELIMINATED the need for post-bootcamp drilling in most cases for all of the students.
BUT I understand there are some very motivated students who want to continue to use drills, unsupervised, and of course we can't stop them, but we leave it up to the students to do that ON THIER OWN INITIATIVE -- for liability reasons, mostly.
I have had to deal with emails from NON-CLIENTS who have gotten ahold of their friend's manual and followed the drills improperly and without feedback, and now they somehow think it's my responsibility to help them.
That's not the idea of drills. If the idea was that you could just "follow the drills instructions and it will make you better", then I would have just released the manual without a bootcamp... 95% of the bootcamp gain comes from the insight and feedback from the instructors.
It's like learning a martial art from an instructor vs. reading about it in a book. The training is essential.
There are no current plans to change the Drills 2.0 manual - a lot of work was put into designing it EXACTLY the way it is, as there are specific reason for it, even if not immediately obvious....

P.S. A lot of this will become more clear once I release the Attraction Code. In hindsight I maybe should have waited to release Drills 2.0 because AC really lays it all out why we do the things we do.  |
