Masters : Tell us of your AFC -> DJ transition

[So pimp its scary]

What was your 'wake up call'?
How long was your transition?
What kind of hurdles did you have to overcome?
Are you still working on improvement?
What were some things that you remember getting stuck on?
What was the most important change that you made that made the most difference on your skill? (ie; the bootcamp, a DJ friend, walking up an hour earlier every morning, etc.)

The most important question

The most important question is what are YOU doing to be a DJ?

What am I doing to be a DJ?

Mostly the clubbing thing... and those odd times where I run into women in my daily activities. I am employed by one of the largest financial firms in the world, I will be going to university in a week, I work out every day, I also take martial arts (TKD and Jiu-jitsu), I am paying off my first house (which my parents live in right now, and am forced to live in), and in two years I will buy a second house for myself.

I'm sure that there is more that I could be doing to be DJ, but I know that I am doing something... which is the most important.

You really did miss the point though, I was asking not so much out of personal curiosity, but more so that the newbies would see that the master DJ's mostly all had humble beginnings as well.

This is a good question. Their stories would be an inspiration to everyone. I specifically want to read Pook, Crazykid, AC/DC, and Matt ala Casanova's stories.

Read and learn. Drex is the raw example of a AFC transitioning into a DJ. Eventually he will become something all AFC's strive for.

Master DJ's can be inspiring, just understand that everyone's story is different.

M.A.C.

I agree that everyones stories are going to be different, BUT I am quite certain that the progression in trying to improve oneself presents very similar challenges to all of those trying, and it's the responses to these challenges that'll make the difference between the person getting stumped at a mediocre level rather then reaching enlightenment (that point at which you know through every grain of your being that you are unstoppable).

hahahaa, well get this.

First I liked about 5 girls at different times but dated NONE of them, cause I was too scared to ask them out. In that same time about 5 girls asked me out, 4 ugly ones and one hottie, who I went out with for a while, but then she moved to another part of the country. I then like another girl and sent her flowers, hahaaha, apparently she also liked me but I never asked her out cause I was too scared. Then I liked another girl and sent her flowers. Followed by more flowers and chocolates, hahahaa, although she was like this guy is a freak, and was scared of me. hehe

Then................finally I found this site. And was like, OMG, I was an idiot, so then I found another girl I liked, she was a BABE but she had a boyfriend, so we sort of fu*cked around for a while and then she wouldnt leave her boyfriend so I got rid of her. Then I started to just be a player out at clubs, picking up LOADS of girls, I bought new clothes, but the main change was simply attitude, I realised I was the catch and that I was going to do things my way or not at all. However then I dated a few more girls things didnt work out, I sorta got bored of them.

I then found one girl who was AMAIZING, we dated for a LONG time, and had some MEGA ups and downs, however that ended a few months back. Since I have crashed my car, had Glandular fever pretty bad, and had heaps of personal family things go wrong, which sort of dragged me down. I am now getting back into my life and really enjoying it, got a few more babes chasing me around, but just staying single, trying to figure my own head out at the moment, and getting my life together, studying hard, going to the gym etc. Also going through a stage right now of "trying" to figure out what lifes all about, as everyone does at some stage of their life.

Well thats my "RELLY COMPRESSED" story of the past few years.
Oh and in that time, I spent about a year of it overseas travelling right around the world, which helped HEAPS. Meeting heaps of people and learning new perspectives on life.

Take care
