http://dailyhustle.com/david-deangelos-77-laws-of-success/
I usually pretty much hate David DeAngelo’s stuff and he comes off a snake oil salesman
rather
than someone genuine to me. But after being poked a LOT by a friend of mine I watched
one ofhis videos.Most of this stuff was curated and he was pretty weak in explaining it, so I
am still not a fan andI doubt that I will spend time on any more of his stuff. Even though he
markets it as a PUAcourse, it is an overall personal development product.In any case here
are the notes I made from 77 Laws of Success Videos. You will find somenuggets in there.1.
Accept everything the way it is. Don’t wish things or sit
uations were different. Bitching aboutstuff will not change it. Confront the reality.
2. Take Responsibility. You are responsible for your thoughts and actions.
3. Go to work on yourself, not women. You cannot change other people, you can only
changeyourself.
4. Evict Your Inner Wussy. When I bitch or complain about things, I don’t feel responsible
for
them
–
that might be a secondary pay-off for being a wussy. But it is wrong. Stop being a wussy.
Figure out what’s stopping you and start working on fix
ing it up.5. Build a Powerful, capable self-image that you love. Picture of you that you carry
insideyourself. Get a clear picture of the person you want to be. Ask yourself
–
am I the person who Iwant to be? Make it as clear and vivid as possible so that you can feel
yourself living it.
6. Move your frame of reference inside. You don’t have to get externation validation for
anything. You should look on the inside to figure out if everyone else is on the right page.
Youare in competition with yourself and have to keep things to your own standards
–
not thestandards of others.
Have an inner locus control Make the decisions with are right for your own life, don’t worry
about how others are affected by them or will percieve them. It is your life and you
areresponsible for it
–
so do whatever is right to achieve and live the life that you want to live.7. Stop making
identity meaning out of external events. If others disapprove of what you do
then it is their problem, not yours. Don’t try to analyze it muc
h or make a genrealization out if

it. If she doesn’t like you, it is her loss –

not yours (or she is a lesbian). I can provide a lot moreto her than she can provide to me.8.
Eliminate failure by learning from it.

Don’t attach any meaning to the failure.

You have notfailed
–
I am not a failure because something has not worked out. Plus there is no failure
–
it is just a lesson you have learnt in how not to do it. Be logical in analysing things. You will
see thatthe lesson you have learnt would be far more valuable than the cost you have
paid.9. Compare your progress and success only to yourself, not to others. You have
to worry aboutachieving what you want to achieve
–

don’t worry about beating other people. Decide your

path and stick to it. Run your own race. Focus on achieving your own end goals and results
that
you want. Compete with yourself and don’t worry about beating others –
improve yourself.Take yourself to the next level.
Just don’t give a fuck about others. Get motivated by their progress t
hat they are doing
something to achieve it. Take inspiration and learn lessons. Don’t envy their status or
results.
Just focus on doing what is right and needs to be done to achieve your own end goals. Just
likegolf, compare your progress to yourself and
don’t worry about others.
Just think
–
did I do thebest I could, honestly.
10. Evolve constantly and consciously
–
always seek the next level and paradigm. Keep lookingfor the next level.
You have never arrived. Keep thinking
–
what is the next level and how do Ireach there.

Find and be with people who don’t give a damn about your current level because
they are at a higher level than you are.
11. See yourself as “high status”. Build a high status self image. Go in expecting that you
will be
the high stat
us person in the room. Don’t care about others because you are the shiznit and the
coolest and most awesome, fun motherfucker in the room. You are the rockstar and will
havethe attention of others. Make things fun and connect people
–
make people smile and have funyourself.
12. Stop Apologizing. You should never apologize to get another person’s approval. It
makespeople respect you when you know how to apologize at the right time. Just don’t give
a fucktruly. Don’t seek approval and do what you want to
do and just how you want to do it.
13. Stop Seeking Approval. Neediness kills attraction. Don’t ask permission or look
for external
validation. Do what you want to do and not what others expect you to do. Not seeking
externalapproval means having confidence in yourself and your decisions. This is a highly
attractivemindset for women and men (nohomo).
Some people play to not lose and some people play to win. Take the right decision, which
maynot always be the easiest, and play to win.
Right decision is not always the easiest and theeasiest decision is not always right. It
is your life and you are responsible for it, no one else. Sodo the right thing.

14. Stop Giving Approval in Order to Get It. Let people earn your respect and approval. It
shouldalways
be a reward when they earn it. Don’t take shit from others. And don’t do things that will
help you get their approval.15. Stop Trading Status for Approval. Be in control, lead. Be the
person who is net-positivedominant. Let people earn your attention and make them go
through hoops before you give
them respect. Don’t respect people just to make them respect you. Let them earn it.
16. Untangle past, present and future. Life for now and for the moment.
Consider short term,medium term and long term gratification of everything that you are about to do. Do
what isright in the long run. Live for the moment.
You always tend to overestimate the future loss or
reward. Don’t live in the fear of something happening. Just deal with it when it arises. Don’t
worry about solving the future problems before they arise.
17. Surround yourself with success models. Be it people, books, audio or videos. Get
inspiredand surround yourself with success and vision of what you want to be
in future. Visualizethings. Grow consciousl
y. Don’t do anything that is of no use. Focus on success and what you
want to achieve in the long run.
18. Know your path or purpose in life and stay on it. Rememberber what you are doing
it all for.Focus. Remember 80/20 principle and focus on things that make the biggest
impact on you
achieving the goals that you want to achieve. Don’t have any distractions –
have a tunnel visionon what you want to achieve.
Any man who tries to chase two rabbits gets none. Also, don’t multitask. Focus on one
thing
at a time, it is lot more efficient.
19. Travel. Explore new places and cultures. Go learn from them and meet new people.
Expandyour horizons. List everything that you learn and impliment it.20. Every day -> find
your center, become centered and make yourself the center. Get in touchwith your ideal
life. Meditate. learn to control your thoughts. Notice your breath and learn tocontrol it.
Make your model and reality as real as possible and make it the center of your life.21. Focus
on your core skills, your inner game and tactics will fall in place.
Don’t always look for
instant gratification. Put in the time to learn the thing properly and do what needs to
bedone.
22. Accept and Embrace the transition anexiety as an opportunity to see things from
abeginners perspective automatically. When you do a new thing, you are out of your
comfort
zone. Do what is right. Don’t worry about how you will look when you fail or what people
will
assume. Just do it if you have to do it. You will learn only by practicing it correctly. Just keep
atit
–
learn and embrace the transitionb. Make it a game
–
compete with yourself. Anexiety is anatural part of transition.

23. LEarn to enjoy the process of learning more than the actual result of learning.24. Teach
others every great thing that you learn, immediately. If you teach it, you learn it a lotfaster
and can internalize it much better. Maybe blog about it, have a private mastermind ortalk
about it with a friend.25. Never whine, bitch or complain. Ever. That is just your perception
of things and not reallythe reality of how it is.26. Objectify your demons so that you control
them instead of them controlling you. Something
you don’t have control over. Don’t worry about them and learn to conciously
make sure thatthey never control you.27. Become selfish so that you can become generous.
Make yourself a priority in your life anddo what is right for yourself and achieving the goals
that you want to achieve. Be independentand focus on yourself.28. Surround yourself with
success models and eliminate failure models from your life andmind.29.
Keep doing what works and stop doing what doesn’t.

Don’t assume, try and see what

works. Split test everything and stick to winners. Keep track of the lessons that you learn,
write
them down and do more of whatever works. If it doesn’t work, just eliminate it from your
life
and mind.30. Maintain your composure. Control your emotions. Be complete and be
balanced. If you loseyour emotions on something, that means you have to work on it.
If others freak out, youinstead have to become calmer and a cold-calculating
machine.

31. Prove to yourself over and over that you can deal with rejection. Remember if a girl
doesn’t
want you, it is her loss and not yourself. You can bring a lot more into her life than she can
bring
into yours. I am the shiznit. If she doesn’t want me, something is wrong with her or she
is just a
lesbian.32.
Learn to sacrifice short-term gratification for long term success. Do it strategically
toachieve specific goals and milestones and not just for the sake of it.
Decide what you need todo, how you are doing to do and do whatever it takes to achieve
those goals, including if itmeans going out of your comfort zone or making short
term sacrifices.
And don’t pretend to be
doing something
–
do it with full focus and real effort. You are not mind-fucking youself. Lookrealistically @
things.33. Learn ot always enjoy youself no matter what is happening around you. You
make your ownreality. Make it fun.

they do something wrong or something you don’t approve, tell them. Call girls out if they

language instantly.Looking away while taking is a high status symbol. Connect with leaders
and befirend them.Become like them.39. Become and expert on your own self-deception

things seriously andalways fine-tuning things to
the next level. Do it the right way, don’t pretend that you are
doing it.
41. Constantly improve yourself. Get started, put it to test, improve it. Keep
optimizingwhatever you do. You are never perfect, keep doing things that will have major
impact on youroverall success
–
and keep pushing it to a higher level.42. Stop projecting your strenghts and weaknesses on
others. (Tip!) Make a list of people youhate and those you admire. Then make a checklist of

spme specific high status. Your status ishigher. She will be privileged to have you in her life
and I can provide more to her than she canever to me. She can never walk over me
–
ever.
48. Stop idealizing relations. There is no special girl who you can’t do without. Don’t let a

details and letthem be impressed with it.53. Control your emotions around women, be
unreactive and handle their shit tests easily. Askfemale friends if I do anything weird. Treat
