What was your specific story of the reason that made you say "fuck it" and try out what they were promoting?

What specifically did you find that worked and why do you think it worked? What was the top trick that led to the most success?

What specifically did you find that didn't work and why? What was awful and led to shame, disappointment, etc.?

I'm looking for legitimate stories of zero to hero here, not copy and paste of other's stories.

Bonus points if you can tell it without using Red Pill lingo.
