Do you sometimes have days when you wonder if this “Shogun thing” is really working for you?
If you do, then you’re not alone. I’d wager the vast majority of your fellow Shoguns also have bad days like you do.
- Some Shoguns tell me they sometimes slip from dominance back to submissiveness.
- Other Shoguns “relapse” into their old weak, pathetic habits. These include watching porn, or skipping the gym, or being a “yes man” to their women.
- Still others tell me they sometimes even feel guilty for using Mind Control and Enslavement techniques on their women.
You might have had similar experiences. And when you do, it’s easy to slip into wondering:
“Am I really doing the right thing?”
Well, guess what. We know why you’re going through these periods of doubt and depression.
Here’s what’s going on…
Shogun Method is, among other things, a self-improvement program. It’s an overhaul.
It’s meant to do two things:
- Rip out your beliefs, habits, and deeds that keep you from building the relationship you want;
- Replacing them with the beliefs, habits, and deeds that will
Unfortunately, as it is with self-improvement, Shogun Method can turn you into a tyrant.
You might set unrealistic goals for yourself – goals even the best Shoguns can’t hope to achieve.
Or you might have zero-tolerance for mistakes and are extra hard on yourself.
You know how it is, right?
If that sounds like you, then great. Take this special Insider’s Guide as consolation, encouragement, and advice, all in one.
And I recommend you save or bookmark this for the next time you have a bad day.
Why You Have Bad Days: Perfection vs Progress
If you’ve ever been in corporate sales or marketing, then you’re familiar with KPI’s. Or “Key Performance Indicators.”
In business, KPI’s are the metrics by which a company measures how well they’re doing. Depending on the business, the KPI’s might be the number of sales, income per sale, repeat purchases, etc.
Overall, though, the most important KPI is one thing: Progress. If a company is growing, that’s what matters more.
The same is true with Shogun Method.
You might be obsessed with individual KPI’s like:
- How submissive your woman is
- How many times you “win” arguments with her
- How rich your social life is
- How closely you follow your new workout regimen
- How much money you make compared to her
- How NOT guilty or ashamed you feel
- Etc.
But overall, the most important KPI is progress, not perfection.
And when it comes to achieving progression, Shoguns tend to do one of two things…
The Two Approaches: “Crushing It” vs. “Slow and Steady”
What does “crushing it” mean?
If you’ve seen that Shia LaBeouf meme of him screaming “Make your dreams come true! JUST DO IT!”, then he’s basically telling you to crush it.
In the context of Shogun Method, a Shogun who’s “crushing it” might do the following things:
- He tries to move his wife into the Enslavement Stage in one day
- He tries to go from being a couch potato to a four-workouts-per-week specimen
- He tries to use the Black Rose Sequence on his girlfriend before he has internalized it
- He tries to impose the Master/Slave Frame in one hour after several years of being the “Slave” in his marriage (see Module 2 in Book 2 of Shogun Method For Married Men)
- He tries to put in 60-hour workweeks when he’s barely used to 40-hour ones
- Etc.
You might have tried some of these things yourself. If you failed miserably, don’t worry – that’s what NORMALLY happens.
It’s a lesson most Shoguns learn the hard way. And it’s not their fault.
Ours is a society that’s on a desperate search for “magic bullet” solutions. We tend to think if we just change one thing in our lives, one new technique, one new strategy, etc… then that’s all it takes to change everything else.
It’s total bullshit.
Self-improvement is long-term. Relationships are long-term. Shogun Method is long-term.
And that’s why I recommend you take the “slow and steady” approach, instead.
The “Privileged Path” To A Good Relationship
My favorite Shogun Method success stories always take the slow and steady path. Here’s how they typically go:
- The new Shogun reads about the goal (Enslavement) and the framework (IRAE Model). He also reads about the various techniques and Sequences he can use to achieve the goal.
- He makes a plan using the IRAE Model, picks out the techniques he wants to use, and puts his plan into action.
- On some days, he gets the outcomes he wants. Other days, it feels like nothing is working. On other days, he gets mixed results.
- He revisits Shogun Method, realizes he did some things wrong, adjusts his plan, and tries again
- He repeats Steps #3 and #4 until Enslavement is achieved and his woman is completely addicted to him.
Think of the process as an uphill rollercoaster ride. You have a couple of good days, then one bad day, then a couple more good days, then one bad day… over and over until you achieve Enslavement.
For some Shoguns, it takes weeks or months. Others take a year or more. Your time frame will be unique.
The key is to keep track of your Shogun Method progress.
I asked some Shogun Method alums how they did so themselves. Here are some of their more popular strategies:
Tip #1: Compare your “now” to your “before.”
Compare yourself and your relationship now to a few weeks, months, or years ago. Or better yet, compare your current situation to what it was like before you became a Shogun.
Unless you’ve been doing it wrong all this time, you probably feel more alive, more confident, and more in control.
You feel less confused about women. You feel less frustrated about your relationship. Your woman is now a bit more respectful than she was.
That’s progress!
Now think of what’s in store for you a few weeks, months, years from now.
Tip #2: List down the things you can do now that you couldn’t do before.
One of your fellow Shoguns told me this story:
“At first, whenever I tried to grope or fondle my wife, she’d either shoo me away, get annoyed, or tell me she had a headache. Now, after I’ve established my leadership in the marriage, she loves it when I touch her. She’s not completely Enslaved yet, but I’ll get there. That’s a fact.”
What are the things you can do now that you had trouble doing before?
Tip #3: Write down the crappy things you had to live with that you don’t anymore.
One of my personal favorite Shogun success stories comes from “Horace,” who used to be a sorry excuse for a man. His wife was an expert at emotional blackmail. She frequently guilt-tripped him to do what she wanted.
A few weeks after Horace became a Shogun, he was ready. When his wife started accusing him of being selfish (it was to get him to buy her a new car), he flatly said:
“You’re accusing me of being selfish? After all I’ve done for you? Fuck you. Don’t insult me.”
In other words, he was imposing a new frame – the Master/Slave Frame – onto his marriage. (Again, see SM³.)
Needless to say, it drove his wife into a frenzy, even storming out of the house and not coming back for a few days. Horace didn’t chase after her and instead spent his time doing whatever he wanted.
Eventually, his wife got the message. She came back, tail between her legs, apologizing and begging to be let in.
What are the crappy things you had to live with that you don’t anymore?
The #1 Mistake That You Must Avoid
While you SHOULD measure your progress by comparing your “then” and “now,” there’s one thing you should NEVER do.
And that is to compare yourself with other men and their relationships.
It’s a mistake that’s all too easy to do with social media these days. You look at these other guys. You see them post photos of their perfect wives, perfect families, perfect homes, etc.
And you ask yourself that self-defeating question: “Why are they so successful while I’m not?”
Whatever you do, don’t answer that question. In fact, don’t compare yourself with other dudes and end up asking yourself that question.
Here’s why: You know ALL your fuckups, but you don’t even know 5% of THEIR fuckups.
It’s an unfair comparison. You’re being unfair to yourself.
The truth is this: These dudes are EXACTLY like you. They fuck up every now and then. Everyone does.
If they have it better than you, it’s because they’ve simply started on self-improvement earlier than you did. Naturally, they’d be further up the progress mountain than you are.
So when measuring your progress, don’t use your feelings. Use the facts.
If you’re making progress, then keep at it, even if you fuck up once in a while.
If you’re not making progress, then revisit your plan, make adjustments, and try again. Sometimes, you just need to outlast the problem. So stay the course.
Tens of thousands of Shoguns before you have done it, and be assured that like them, you WILL succeed.
Feel Assured That You Have The Solution In Your Hand
In Shogun Method, you have possibly the best set of knowledge that any man could ever lay his hands on in his quest to live his best life. It’s true.
And for that reason alone, you should feel confident that you will get to your desired goals – as long as you follow the steps that I have laid out for you.
As you continue on your journey to be your best self, you MUST never stop acquiring knowledge, and drinking from the same fountain of wisdom that your fellow Shoguns who have done the things that you want to do.
Always dig deeper into the Shogun Method Knowledge Base. It’s pretty extensive, and mastering the knowledge is easier if you master one program at a time.
For example, if you haven’t already, I strongly suggest you get access to Shogun Method for Married Men.
Even if you’re not married, you’d do well to learn how the best Shoguns achieve Enslavement in their marriages.
After all, think about it. What if you had the mindset, knowledge, and tools to make a woman happy for life? Every other problem in life would be a breeze. Check it out here.
