MAU,

This is a good idea and I think it will benefit alot of people.

I think all DJ and potential DJ members of this forum would like to know what this course will consist of, what it will involve doing etc.

I am not being funny or anything but such stuff should be proof read before you start asking for guinea pigs.

It looks like Master of the Universe has found something worthwhile.

A good -DJ Bootcamp-, if proven to be successful, would be THE practical Case Study for guys to use, when learning how to become successful. It would become the second part of the DJ Bible. Part One, being theory. Part Two, the pratical Case Study.

Master of the Universe,

I look forward in reading more information about the course. Could be I'll try things out. Either way I'm ready to read and/or try.

Keep it up,
Neo.

I mean, that should definitely be a goal. I don't care what folks say about it not being true DJ ing but that's a goal. It's your program so it's up to you but I would if it was me.

I'm a bit apprehensive about this, simply because I've watched MotU progress, and that period about a month ago when he started to dip his toe in in AFC land made me wonder just where he stood with all of this. The most he has proven about his abilities on here is how to royally mess-up a relationship at work. I dont consider that a great foundation for teaching, personally.

I'm not trying to cut him down, but I know he's a great salesman. I just dont want you guys to get sold a crock of s*** in the hopes that you're going to get somewhere fast. Some of us are naturally adept at talking to others, so translating the lessons on here come a lot easier. I can guarantee that some of the stuff will seem really out of character for you, while it comes naturally to him. Awkwardness doesnt help you meet women.

Just another viewpoint, I'd be interested in reviewing the lessons, but since I'm as successful as MotU claims to be, I don't really need to go whole-hog on it. My phone won't hold anymore numbers. (235, to be exact).

1) Pjam,

I can understand your situation... however, I would like to offer a slightly different spin to things...

You are in a position where there are few apparent options available... the downside is the obvious... not too many girls.

BUT there is an upside... ever heard the phrase "big fish in a small pond"? In small social circles as the one you are in, reputation (good or bad) spreads fast... so if you were to become a DJ, then the fact that there are few women there would actually work to your favor. These women would find it such a rare treat to actually be in the presence of a DJ that they will fight over you (I'm assuming that the male/female ratio in your age group is about equal). Regardless though, I personally hold to the philosophy that every negative has a positive counterpart... you just sometimes have to actively look for it though.

2) Freewill,

Part of the program is posting and sharing results with the rest of the group... so that we could learn from each other. Maybe you can log on to the net once a week to get the weekly lessons and post your results... what do you think?

3) KometaAmarelo,

Sure, multiple RAFCs can join... however, I think it would be to both your benefit to post separately from each other.

4) Neophyte,

Thanks... coming from the compiler of the DJ Bible, this means a lot. I don't know yet the results of this program, but it will be interesting to find out. I look forward to your feedback on the course outline.

5) StuartScott,

Well, maybe it's about time I got over my little hang-up

6) Powertrip,

I can understand your apprehension... I have made mistakes when it came to the whole situation with Mary... but I think you will have to agree with me that I have always been honest in my posts... I told the good as well as the bad.

I honestly don't know if this will be the answer that many of us on this board have been looking for... but the way I see it is that no one has done it yet, so at least this way we will be getting one step closer to our goals, or we will at least have discovered what won't work... and get one step closer to discovering what WILL work. Either way, the fact that we will actually go into the FIELD and PRACTICE and EXPERIMENT, will be a wonderful experience for all those who participate. As to the reason why I usually discussed Mary in my posts, is because that is where I needed the help.

At any rate, I will be posting the outline for the program tomorrow morning, and you, as well as others on this board, can provide your feedback on it.

Also, I noticed in another post that you went to high school with band members from Incubus... does that mean you live in San Fernando Valley / Ventura County (that's where I live). If that's the case, maybe we can meet up some time.

MotU,

I wasnt trying to be a **** about this subject, rather I was trying to point out that this might be sensory overload for some guys. Yes, they can repeat the lines, but will there be an actual confidence, charm, or charisma behind them? I'd hate to see this grand experiment go crashing down in flames with a lot of burnt egos left behind. That's all. I know how long it took me, but now I'm unstoppable.

As for the location.. I graduated from AHS in '95, and I guarantee that if you're in the area we've probably already bumped into each other. Ever go to the Canyon Club?

man i think the fact that Neophyte actually came out and said something speaks highly. however, for all the naysayers on here who are apprehensive. think of it this way summer is almost here if anything testing the experiment of this mad scientis will be a wicked ride.

Looks like powertrip is on a powertrip, hahaha!!!!

No seriously I think it is a great idea MOTU, I'm glad that some of us are really thinking about the site and putting in some effort!!! Although I have to agree with powertrip in a way, it is pretty obvious that you have a way with words, and probably do in the "real" world too!! Some of these newbies might not be upto an 8 week course that involves every aspect that a DJ requires. This stuff takes real time, a lot of it and over a long period. You can't just grow into a DJ over night so to speak. There may be a few burnt egos left behind but if they are willing to put their necks on the line, then they are willing to pay the price. I will wait until you post the course to decide.

MotU,

I'll be able to log on until I go to Europe. From there on I'm on a tour with a group of college students. No computer access there...*sigh* I hope we can work something out so I can do this course. I'd love to share my results, but lets get started immediately. Perhaps I can speed up the process a bit and try to get more of it done before the trip...

Thanks for the comments and advice and any learning resource available is a good one, as long as people use it to their own abilities and likings.

Oh i have a decent reputation i guess. However, being in a small circle of people, if you are somewhat of a decent DJ, you will be called a Player, and it won't be a good thing. Because if you date around the small circle, word gets around, and yeah, dates later on will be no problem, but relationships will start to detiroate rather quickly.

I will never make a million dollars being a salesman, thats just not my personality. Therefore, i use other aspects of my self and other abilities to do what i do best. I think that is the problem not just on this site, but in most of the world today.

That is why you see so many scam artists and quick bs wealthy people.

Because many people have this desire to get rich quick. To find the easy answer. Basically to get from Point A to Point Z without ever having to go through
Points B - Y.

Everbody has this knack that you don't have to put no effort into anything anymore. Most people truely believe that you don't have to work that hard to get anywhere. I don't understand this, but then again, we as a soceity blame everything on parents, teachers, priests, guys, girls, books, on others, on tv, on the internet, on this and that, and honestly, when people reach a certain age, THey CHOOSE what they want to do.

There are those exceptions, but for many, it's just bull**** that whenever something goes wrong or doesn't go their way, it's somebody elses fault.

I think the online DJ boot camp is a great idea, i just think people need to start utilizing things and not go jump into an ocean before learning how to swim. Because if you don't know how to siwm, you aren't going to learn in the ocean, you're just going to drown.

Hey i have been a lurker on this site for 2 weeks, and i have read your topic and it has intrigued me so much that i got a ID for this site. I would definetely love to be apart of this, i think it is the boost i need in my effort to be a DJ.

Also MotU, you said that you are in the San Fernando Valley/Ventura area. Well i live in northridge so if you want to drop me a line feel free to do so.
