“Practice and Exercise” Saying Less During Your  MANformation

The Alpha male has developed the unique ability to communicate his powerful message in the most effective and efficient manner possible.

He doesn’t waste time with unnecessary conversation. He  doesn’t use words that aren’t needed to get his point across.

The Alpha male only needs “seconds, words, and sentences” when he speaks to others. Beta males and less-dominant men, on the other hand, require “minutes, paragraphs, and pages” to make the very same point.

As far as his communication  style is concerned, the Alpha male lives by the rule that “Less Is More  POWERFUL.”

The Alpha male understands that, the more he needs to  explain himself, the more power and influence he loses.

You Must Understand and Appreciate the Massively Important Roles  of Influence and Persuasion in Your MANformation

The Alpha male  understands that he can only accomplish so much in this world by himself. It  doesn’t matter how hardworking and intelligent he may be, he knows that he needs  the support of other people in his pursuit of the best things in life.

There are countless numbers of hardworking, intelligent Beta Males and  less-dominant men who struggle because they haven’t figured this out yet. They  take pride in being “loners” who make it their mission not to depend on anyone  else.

In order to make your MANformation quickly and effectively, you  must learn the skills of influence and persuasion. You must become a “people  person” if you want to improve the quality of your life.

The powerful  men who get what they really want in life understand that everything ultimately  comes from other people. It will be your ability to influence and persuade other  people to help you that will determine if you get the opportunity to enjoy  better relationships with the most amazing people, live more exciting  experiences, earn more money, and gain access to the best deals.

Options  are all of the things in life that you REALLY want. Options can be material  things, feelings, or emotions. Your goal should be to have access to as many  options in life as humanly possible. You do not necessarily have to exercise all  the options available to you. You just want the decision to be YOURS—and not  hope it magically comes your way someday.

You deserve everything you are  getting in life—and you do NOT deserve everything you are not getting (at least,  not yet). It’s that plain and simple. If you want more, start working on your  influence and persuasion skills.

Do NOT blame other people if they do  not give you the respect that you “think” you deserve. Take 100 percent  responsibility for the way other people are currently treating you. Take 100  percent responsibility for what you are and are not getting in this world.

Here’s what you must do to influence and persuade other people to help  you get what you want:

1. Get other people to trust you; respect you;  and see you as an expert. Work hard on yourself first—and give other people  a legitimate reason to follow your lead. Actually BECOME the person that other  people trust, respect, and see as an expert. It takes focus, dedication,  practice, and exercise—so GET TO WORK NOW!

2. Have congruent,  matching body language that demonstrates to other people that they should trust  you; respect you; and see you as an expert. Powerful body language is an  extremely important “sales tool.” Work on it.

3. Be confident about  what you say and do—and other people will “buy into” your frame or reality.  People WANT to be led. The world is desperately looking for LEADERS. Trust  me.

4. If you are not as confident as you should be, then you  must learn to “fake it until you make it.” At the very least, play yourself  up where you belong—and do not play yourself down. Quit being humble! It is NOT  serving you well. Since the beginning of time, leaders who ABUSE their power  have DECEIVED the masses into believing that being humble, quiet, and to just  turn the other cheek when someone takes advantage of you is the RIGHTEOUS way to  be. Why would they do this? So the masses would just shut up and follow THEIR  lead without questioning them. As Dr. Phil would say, “How’s being humble  working for you so far?” It’s time to stop buying into this nonsense and start  thinking for yourself.

5. If you want to be a MASTER of influence and  persuasion, you must take responsibility for BOTH SIDES of the conversation.  I know it is sometimes tough enough to keep yourself in line. To become an  effective LEADER, you must become strong enough to carry BOTH sides.

6. Practice and exercise the skills of influence and persuasion.  Be patient. Be persistent. The chances are you will not be all that great at it  at first—just like you aren’t great at anything you first start doing. Don’t  quit just because you blow it a few times. Keep on, keepin’ on, my brother!

He Understands That the More Effective Strategy Is to Have Other  People Step Up and Into HIS Frame and Live In HIS Version of Reality

The Alpha male never plays down his power just to make less confident or  judgmental people feel more comfortable in his presence. In fact, if other  people might be judgmental or uncomfortable in his presence, the Alpha male will  rarely even notice.

That will not even show up on the Alpha male’s  “radar.” Not because he is arrogant or insensitive. It doesn’t show up on his  radar because he understands those are other people’s issues–not his. They need  to deal with those issues–not him.

he understands those are other people’s  issues–not his. They need to deal with those issues–not him.

With the Greater the RISKS You Take In Life, the Greater the REWARDS You  Stand to Gain

The Alpha male is a risk taker. He takes the  necessary risks to get what he really wants in his life. His risks are  proportional to the level of achievement and fulfillment he wants in his life.

Many less dominant and Beta males have little chance of getting what  they really want in life because they are not taking enough risks. Or, they are  not taking big enough risks. The greater the risks you take in life, the greater  the rewards you will usually enjoy. Your ability to take risks will be a piece in  putting together your MANformation puzzle. Let’s face it, if you never put  yourself in a position to win big, you’ll have absolutely no chance of winning  big.

There’s a price tag for everything in life worth having. The bigger  the prize you are after, the more it costs. The unfortunate part about taking  risks is you may pay an outrageous price for success—and have no guarantees the  goods will ever be delivered.

I remember when I was an ambitious,  hardworking 19-year old employee at the grocery store. One day, I was mapping  out my financial future while putting cans of motor oil on a display. “By the  age of 27,” I said to myself, “I will be earning $100,000 a year.”

That  was a nice goal to have, but how in the world did I ever expect to do that? Even  if I was promoted up the ranks at a rather quick pace (which I was) and I became  a store manager at the relatively young age of 27 (which I was as well), how did  I ever expect to be earning $100,000? The manager’s position—even including a  great bonus—would only earn about $75,000. In the job I was working, how did  ever think I was going to earn more? The only way I was going to earn $100,000  by the age of 27 was to get off that track, take some risks, and do something  else for a living. What was I thinking at the time?

As you make your MANformation and transform into the man you really  want to be, there will be just as much discomfort and anxiety as excitement and  satisfaction during your journey. The good and bad feelings are directly  proportional—if you are really stretching yourself.

It’s up to you to  control your emotions during both the good and bad times. It’s up to you to  choose which emotions you will focus on—they are all always present. Risk taking  may seem unfair and uncomfortable at times, but this fact is undeniable: Behind  every awesome and fulfilling victory lies the possibility of gut-wrenching pain  and devastation.

As I stated before, if you want to win big you stand  the chance of losing big. The two are directly proportional. That is, if you are  going for what you really want—and not settling for less based on your fears.

If you want the great position in your company, you may have to work for  years climbing the corporate ladder and endure all the office politics that come  with it. You’ll need to deal with the heartache, pain, ups and downs, and  victories and defeats along the way—with no guarantee you will ever get that  sought-after position. If you want a relationship with a special person, you’re  going to have to ask that person with all the incredible qualities you really  want out on a first date. Even though she might reject you on the spot, you’ll  never go out on a date at all until you approach the object of your desire in  some way.

The Alpha male is courageous. Courage is what you’ll need to  take the risks essential for success. Courage is a character quality you must  constantly use and refine to achieve what you want at the level you want.

Courage is the antidote for fear. There is nothing wrong with feeling  the emotion of fear. In fact, I am fearful on a fairly regular basis. What will  determine your level of success is what you ultimately do and do not do when  that inevitable fear is present.

One other point: Risk only what you are  prepared to lose. Whether what you lose is time, money, a job, a business deal,  rejection, or emotional security, it doesn’t matter. That’s why they call them  risks and not “sure things.”

What every man is willing to lose in any  particular situation is different.

The Alpha male is more willing to “roll  the dice” and lose his time, money, a job, a business deal, rejection, and  emotional security because he is confident that he can put himself in a position  to win at a much greater level that his current status.

The Alpha male  is confident that risking losing his time will earn him even more time to do the  things he really wants to do in the future. Risking losing his money now will  earn him 100 times more money in the future. Risking giving up his current job  will lead him to a more fulfilling job with more pay or even lead to creating  his own business. Risking losing a business deal will make that business deal  three times as beneficial to him. Risking losing some of his pride and being  rejected will lead to him being a situation that he always dreamed of being in  someday. Risking losing emotional security to get to a place of absolute  fulfillment instead of settling for what barely satisfies him.

The  Alpha male understands that risk-taking takes practice. The more he practices  taking risks, the easier it becomes for him to take them.
