DAY

MISSION 1: Crunch Time

Next week, the pace is going to pick up. So to make sure you’re caught up and ready to proceed, today is review day.

Your task is to look over the previous eight days of assignments. Then ask yourself:

Is there any mission I skipped?

Is there any mission I feel I didn’t complete?

Is there any mission I didn’t perform to my satisfaction?

Is there any mission I’d like to do again?

Have I backslid in my vocal training, posture, grooming, or commitment to my goals?

Take this opportunity to explore or repeat any previous assignments and exercises you need to reinforce.

MISSION 2: Approach Mixed Groups

If you’ve approached only lone women or groups of women during the Challenge so far, then it’s time to approach groups that contain men.

Your mission is to approach two groups of three or more people that include men as well as women.

Approaching groups with men may sound daunting if you haven’t done it yet, but it’s generally easier in practice. The more intimidating people are to approach, the less likely it is they’ve been approached.

Don’t forget, all you have to do to ensure the success of the approach is make sure that the guys are always involved in the conversation, they feel respected, and they know you’re not hitting on the women. At least not yet.

MISSION 3: Intervention

Statistically, the ninth day of a new self-improvement program is the point when most people drop out. That’s not going to be you. So your final task today is to read your Day 9 Briefing and prepare to learn how to learn.
