Project Lisbon takeover – Part 1 – Scouting 🔎
[Context: Documenting the journey of arriving in a foreign city and not knowing anyone, to taking it over, following what is taught in MOA] First week of a completely new city is always first going to be information gathering. For me the most critical things are the supermarkets, gym and the top clubs + bars. Supermarkets and gym is pretty easy from a quick google search or asking any local. Top clubs + bars is more tricky. This does sometimes take a while to find out of where to go and when to go. All which are very important to your success. To get this information the best source is hot girls as they are either already going there or constantly getting invited to go there. While out I start building a list of the places that girls recommend and places that are recommended multiples times I make I note. The place then with the most recommendations is the place that I visit next. This process then repeats until you find that top place. A good way to know if you have found the right place is looking how fancy the venue is, how do the staff and people going there look and how difficult is it to get in there (The harder the better). As you are doing your scouting you also want to be looking at locations that would be good for future potential events and taking notes on that. By the end of the week I end up with list looking something like this and have a pretty decent idea of where to go. Another thing I do is try to connect with as many MOA guys as possible and see what we can do to add value to each other and events we can throw together. Other established MOA guys are also going to be a wealth of knowledge on exactly how the city operates and further give you an idea of where you need to be going. Had the pleasure of meeting up with @Arvin Behshad and @Graco Signorini now already got a few things in mind to do together. Me and Arvin ended up working together and having a 7 girl middle of funnel event 3 days after I arrived in the city!
