The Alpha male is always looking for creative ways to differentiate himself from  his competition and become “the best” at what he does. Here is another example  of how the Alpha male creates his own reality—and then boldly and confidently  convinces the world to willingly buy into it.

The Alpha male has an  incredible drive to be “the best” among his peers. However, the Alpha male  understands that being considered “the best” is simply a matter of perspective.  It’s a very big world and the competition to be the best is fierce.

The  Alpha male understands that, if he can create and accentuate unique qualities  about who he is, what he does, and what he is all about, he puts himself in a  category all by himself. Or, at the very least, the Alpha male positions himself  in a category with a lot less competition.

The Alpha male will creatively “spin” his situation to show himself in  the very best light. He’ll differentiate himself from the competition by  accentuating the fact that he is the youngest or oldest in his group; the most  educated or even the least educated winner if that distinction gets the job  done; the nicest “warrior” at what he does or the biggest “SO.B.” if that  separates him from the pack. Maybe the fact that he is stable family man or a  wild and carefree bachelor makes him a little different. He might even separate  himself from his competition by his ethnicity or gender if it is accurate and  effective. The Alpha male will do whatever it takes to get the job done.

This is not only an extremely effective strategy to become “the best”  among his competition—it is also the 100 percent truth. Finding ways to  differentiate himself from the competition is another way the Alpha male creates  the strong sense of confidence that radiates from every pore of his body.

Less dominate and Beta males tend to see themselves as “second tier”  individuals and “also rans”—even when they are actually accomplishing some  amazing things. Selling yourself well comes down to how you see yourself in your  own mind—not necessarily how you think the world might see you.

Less  dominant and Beta males oftentimes sell themselves and their accomplishments  short. They send out a message to the world that says “I’m not quite as good as  I’d like to be”—and THAT attitude radiates from every pore of their bodies.

Become a creative genius and spin your story and a way that showcases  you in the very best light. You’re not lying or even bragging—you are simply  telling the TRUTH now. From this day forward, NEVER sell yourself short again.  Leave that disempowering attitude to the less dominant and Beta males!

Many of us men were taught growing up that it is “wrong” to act like you better than anyone else. This lesson was usually taught to us by well-meaning parents. Some of the time, this message was delivered by our peers who may or may not have had our best interests in mind.

At the same time, weren’t we also taught to strive for all of the best qualities that a person can have? Wasn’t the message to become better than most other people? Do you really think our parents would have been satisfied raising an average child? Did the most popular kids back in school gravitate toward the average kids?

Whether being “better” meant smarter, nicer, harder working, happier, more popular, better looking, or more athletic to us, wasn’t that the message we were directly or indirectly; consciously or subconsciously being taught? Weren’t we told to never settle for mediocrity?

Was the real lesson that we should aspire to become better than other people—but just make for damn sure we don’t act like it when we do?

You can certainly understand how, as adult men, we may have conflicting beliefs and values when it comes to presenting ourselves confidently in this world, can’t you?

Let me ask you a question: Do you think the vast majority of people in this world overstate their value—or sell themselves short? I would say, without hesitation, that most of us sell ourselves short. Then, we wonder why other people don’t recognize our greatness. Isn’t it obvious why they wouldn’t recognize our true value?

The Alpha male is very aware of the strong and powerful man he is and all of the strengths he possesses. He proudly presents himself exactly the way he sees himself.

Less dominant and Beta males will sell themselves short most of the time. They are very careful to not appear arrogant or too confident. Less dominant and Beta males never want to take the chance of offending anyone. As an Alpha male who is taking his leadership qualities to the next level, here’s your assignment:

Prepare a 10 to 20 second crisp and clean, well-planned, well-rehearsed introduction that accurately describes who you are and what you do. This introduction to other people that you create will not be fabricated and overly boastful—but it will certainly not humbly play down who you are and what you do like you may have done in the past.

If you are going to error when creating this introduction, make sure that you error on the side that’s fabricated and overly boastful. Chances are great that you will still sell yourself short because of the many years of conflicting messages you were given growing up. That is, until become aware of the importance of this skill and practice executing it over and over again.

You are ALWAYS selling yourself and your ideas. Always remember that fact. If you aren’t getting what you want in life, assume that it is because you are not selling yourself very well. If you aren’t going to sell yourself well, who the hell will?

This newly-crafted Alpha introduction will become your 10 to 20  second “sales pitch.”

After years of searching for the key distinctions that separate the great Alpha  male leaders from the large masses of men who follow them, I have discovered  that this:

The Alpha male’s primary focus is the RESULTS he produces. 

The Alpha male isn’t even remotely as concerned with “the process”  of getting what he wants as the less dominate and Beta males. Not that the less  dominant and Beta males aren’t concerned about results, they are. The key  difference is that the Alpha male simply is not as concerned with how he goes  about getting those results. The Alpha male voraciously drives for the shortest,  most direct, most effective, and most efficient path from “Point A” to “Point  B”.

Less dominate and Beta males care a lot more about how they are  perceived by others. So much so, they often fail in their attempts to get what  they want in life because they try not to upset anyone else along the way or  “ruffle any feathers”. That may be a noble gesture but at what cost? Less  dominate and Beta males care about how they came across; how they’ll be judged;  if they’ll be liked; if they are being “fair” to other people; or how much they  are enjoying the process along the way.

The Alpha male understands that  all of those considerations that the less dominant and Beta males put so much  value on and hold so “near and dear to their hearts” are merely matters of  opinions. The Alpha male does not agree with those opinions. The Alpha male  understands that those very opinions are what make a Beta male a Beta male. It’s  the Alpha male’s opinion as to how much value he puts on those considerations  that makes him an Alpha male.

When faced with the choice between the two  points-of-view, there is no choice for the Alpha male. He simply would never  consider going about his life in any other manner than the one he has chosen.  The results he wants to produce are far more important to him.

The Beta  male often vacillates back and forth between staying the way he is and  convincing himself that his results are “good enough” and going for what he  really wants in life and adopting a more aggressive and assertive behavior.  While the Beta male’s approach to getting results may change, the Alpha male  stays strong in his frame and on his path.

Here’s another key  distinction that is closely tied with the previously mention point:

The Alpha male accepts nothing less than the best for himself and his  family.

The Alpha male has the identity as a “hunter” who brings  home the “big game”. He takes pride in recruiting all of his strengths to have  the most options humanly possible. He will not let his weakness prevent him from  giving his best effort. The Alpha male will do “whatever it takes” (within his  personal rules, beliefs, and values) and exhaust every ounce of his mental,  emotional, and physical energy to provide the VERY BEST HE CAN for himself and  his family. Providing what other people consider “good enough” is NEVER good  enough for the Alpha male. The very thought of letting himself and his family  down will make the Alpha male nauseous.

The less dominate and Beta males  do “the best they can” and adjust their dreams—and their family’s  dreams—downward when they fail to come through. They rationalize this process as  being “practical”.

MANformation is all about getting yourself to take specific actions that you  probably already know you should do to become a more effective leader. All the  “intellectualizing” and “theorizing” in the world will NEVER get you to start  integrating certain powerful Alpha male qualities into your own personality.  That’s just not how the human brain works!You have already noticed this, haven’t you? How many times have you reminded  yourself “I MUST start acting more confident!”? How many times have you asked  yourself “Why can’t I become more assertive?” or “Why can’t I be the man who  takes charge in certain situations?”Reminding yourself of these things over and over again—and never changing—can  be extremely frustrating, can’t it?

You can’t just talk about change. You can’t just think about change. You  can’t just gather more information that you think will create change. In order  to create change in your life, you MUST do WHATEVER IT TAKES to take specific  actions. You must somehow EXPERIENCE these actions and actually feel the  emotions associated with doing them. Then, you must practice the actions and  feel the emotions over and over again if you want to finally integrate them into  your own personality.

Lead Other People. Better Yet, Lead Other Men

The most effective way to adopt leadership qualities and Alpha male  characteristics is to somehow put yourself into a position of leadership.

I understand that this action strategy may seem like a tall order if you’ve  been reserved and passive your entire life. It doesn’t have to be.

My suggestion is to start off by becoming a “big fish in a small pond”. Now,  what one would consider “big” and “small” would be relative to where that man is  now in his personal growth compared to where he eventually wants to be.

If you are a little reserved, find a couple of men who are as just as  reserved as you are if not a little more reserved. Find some venue where you can  lead them. Maybe suggest to a couple of men at work that you all get together  for lunch every few days. Be prepared for the get-together with some interesting  topics, lead the conversation, and have the other men follow.

If you see a couple of new men in the gym consistently working out at the  same time as you, suggest that all three of you become workout partners. Because  you know more about working out than they do, they will welcome the leadership,  direction and camaraderie you offer.

Heck! If you consider yourself a “nerd” right now and desperately want to  integrate Alpha male qualities into your own personality, grab a couple of other  nerds waiting in line all night for the Harry Potter movie premiere and suggest  getting together for a book club! You get the idea.

Whatever level you now sit on the Alpha Male/Leader social ladder, start  leading other men on that same level and where you are most comfortable. If you  are already an Alpha Stud in your current social circles—but have aspirations to  hang out with men you consider outrageous “movers and shakers” one day—this  action strategy will work for you too.

There is nothing more “Alpha” than leading other men.

You must take action. You must experience Alpha male leadership on a gut  level (not on an intellectual level). You must practice doing this over and over  again. And, most importantly, you must enjoy your MANformation journey! You  aren’t going to do the work necessary to become more Alpha if you aren’t  enjoying the process.

In time, your Alpha Male/Leadership characteristics will grow  tremendously—one action strategy at a time.
