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!

“I want to thank you for  helping me start my own MANFormation into the powerful Alpha Male that I always  dreamed I could be. After years of frustration and being put down by my peers, I  realized that my life was that of a beta-male. I lacked the confidence to take  charge and be a leader. Enter your Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male  Leader seminar. I diligently followed your instructions and practiced them on a  consistent basis. Already, my life is turning around for the better—even in the  face of harsh challenges. I would never have the mindset nor the drive and  confidence to make my life better without you opening the doors to being an  Alpha Male. Thank you very much!”

Now, I’m thinking,  feeling and acting like a man 20 years younger, getting strong and lean, and  even my business relationships have stepped up big time. This is already  becoming one of the best years of my life!”

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.

Controlling the Frame In A Relationship Can Be Like A Game of  "Chicken"

Wikipedia defines the game of "Chicken" is an  influential model of conflict for two players in game theory. The principle of  the game is that while each player prefers not to yield to the other, the  outcome where neither player yields is the worst possible one for both players.  The name "Chicken" has its origins in a game in which two drivers drive towards  each other on a collision course: one must swerve, or both may die in the crash,  but if one driver swerves and the other does not, the one who swerved will be  called a "chicken," meaning a coward.

When two people who are in any kind of relationship (business,  intimate, and friendship) have a disagreement, it isn’t always the person who is  “right” that is the most influential. And, as you have probably experienced at  one time or another in the past, the person who is “right” will not always get  his way. The person who controls the frame will get his way.

The Alpha  male understands that the person who values the relationship least is oftentimes  the most influential. If he is more willing to walk away from the relationship  if it doesn’t the way he wants more than the other person (or gives the  impression he is more willing) he can oftentimes get his way whether he is  “right” or “wrong.” Most of the time, “right” or “wrong” is merely and  opinion—and the Alpha male makes sure the relationship works from what his idea  of “right” is.

An Alpha male’s influence over another person can be just  like a game of “Chicken.” As you strive to take your Alpha male qualities and  characteristics to the next level, hold tight in your frame whenever possible.  Evaluate your situation and practice playing “Chicken” in the game of influence  whenever the risks allow you to do so. With enough time and practice, you can  take more and more skilled risks.

“The Mindset and Actions of  a Powerful Alpha Male Leader” Audio Seminar Course Outline

Why “Nice Guys” Finish Last Session One (1 hour; 57 minutes)

The reason why you are not getting what you want in life-at the level  you really want-may be in how you are defining the word “nice” in critical  situations in your life. Alpha Leaders interpret being “nice” as mature,  productive MEN. Conversely, Passive Followers who struggle to get what they want  in life still think and act like the obedient little BOYS that they were  expected to be when they were young.

Learn seventeen (17) of the  most-insightful SPECIFIC differences in the way an Alpha Leader interprets being  “nice” and “fair” compared to less-dominant men and Passive Followers. Adopt  this Alpha Leader mindset, even the playing field, and FINALLY begin to win at  the level you want to win.

The Body Language of a Powerful Alpha  Leader Session Two (2 hours; 1 minute)

You can spot a powerful and  charismatic Alpha Leader the moment he walks into a room, can’t you? Why do you  think it is so obvious to everyone that he is “the man” without knowing a thing  about him?

Learn forty-three (43) of the most-intriguing, SPECIFIC  things an Alpha Leader does with his body language, facial expressions, eye  movements, and voice qualities in certain situations that transmits his  strength, certainty, and confidence. Also, learn what he will NEVER do in other  situations because doing so will take away from his powerful presence. Adopt  this body language at the appropriate time and become more influential,  persuasive, and charismatic to those people around you.

The Specific Influence,  Persuasion, Charismatic Skills of an Alpha Leader Session Three (2 hours; 4  minutes)

The Alpha Leader has the amazing ability to get other  people to willingly, joyfully, and enthusiastically help him get what he wants  in his life. Learn twenty (20) of the most influential, persuasive, and  charismatic skills of an Alpha Leader. Adopt these winning skills and you, too,  will get people excited to help you get what YOU want.

The Structured  Thoughts, Actions, and Lifestyle of a Powerful Alpha Leader Session Four (2  hours; 11 minutes)

Learn thirty-one (31) SPECIFIC ways an Alpha  Leader structures his day and gets himself to follow through with what he knows  he needs to do to get what he wants in life. Adopt this structure and you’ll  start leading your own life more effectively-and leading others too.

Goal-Setting Workshop - Alpha Leader-Style Session Five (1 hour; 58  minutes)

An Alpha Leader wins in life at an incredible level because  of his outrageous standards, tremendously high expectations, and lofty goals.  With what you’ve learned during the previous four Tele-Seminar sessions, you  will NOW be ready to start going for what you REALLY want out of your  life-instead of only what you’ve been settling for in the past. This  goal-setting session will make you more assertive, create an Alpha Leader model  to aspire toward, and get you to enthusiastically work toward it.

Successfully Integrating the Thoughts and Actions of an Alpha Leader  Into Your Lifestyle Session Six (1 hours; 33 minutes)

The Alpha male clearly understands that he is the sum of his actions–not just  his words. The Alpha male is no less. And, he is no more.

Keep these  important points in mind as you make your MANformation:

You are NOT the  sum of what you can potentially do. Potential unrealized is a waste of ability  and time. Good intentions are okay but they really don’t amount to much and they  certainly don’t help others.

The best way to feel good about yourself is  to do something so well that it impresses even you. If you can do something like  that every few days, there’s no doubt that you are going to feel awesome about  yourself.

You can’t just tell people who you are and what you’re all  about. Unless you start actually BEING the person you claim to be, you’ll have  absolutely no credibility. Sooner or later, you’ll either need to stand up and  deliver or accept the fact that you’ll never be the person you hoped you’d  become. The responsibility is in your hands and not in the hands of other  people.

Become the MAN You Really Want To Be with Skip La  Cour’s MANformation One-on-One Coaching

Get the personal  coaching you need to take your body, mind, and spirit to the next level during  this year. Skip La Cour is now accepting a selected number of the most committed  men for WEEKLY one-on-one MANformation coaching phone consultations. La  Cour will direct you through an individualized, STRUCTURED program every week  that will guarantee your MANformation success. Now, only a six-month commitment  and monthly investment in yourself is required. If you are serious about FINALLY  making things happen for you and interested in this exclusive program, go HERE and sign up NOW.

Live in your own reality. Know exactly what you want before you enter every situation and every relationship you encounter in your life.

Build a “frame” for your life that you want to live in—and let those people who willing, joyfully, and enthusiastically WANT to enter your frame—enter it. There are currently about SEVEN BILLION people living on this planet. I am positive that you can find a few people who will. Don’t you?

As the line in the movie Fields of Dreams with actor Kevin Costner professes “If you build it, they will come.”

And what about those people who would rather not enter your frame? Well, use your most effective influence and persuasion skills to have them “buy into” your reality. If they still refuse, let them go without any hard feelings toward them—or yourself. Sometimes, that’s just the way life works.

If you are truly certain and confident about who you as a person, what you are all about, and the gifts you bring to this world, getting other people to live within your frame definitely isn’t an impossible task.

If you do NOT believe in yourself, how can you honestly expect other people to believe in you and follow your lead? If this applies to you, maybe NOW is the time to start “practicing and exercising” the strategies outlined in the MANformation program on a regular basis.
