Take the 30-Day MANformation Challenge with this Complimentary mp3 Sound File

Hello Men,

Here is a free 22-minute recording of a number of POWERFUL MANformation Alpha Power Statements (MAPS).

MANformation Alpha Power Statements (MAPS) are a series of empowering statements where I coach you and remind you of many of the key principles of the MANformation program.

Here's the challenge:

Download this file to your IPod (or mp3 player).

Listen to the 22-minute recording every day during your 5-day structured week for 30 days.

Ideally, you want to listen to this recording while you are in the gym exercising in the morning.

Even better is listening to these MAPS while you are doing some kick-ass cardiovascular training.

Only listen to the MAPS five days during the week. There's no sense in getting burned out doing too much. 22 minutes just five days a week will be plenty of “exercise and practice” to get these MAPS into your subconscious thought process and automatically integrate them into your own personality without a lot of effort.

If you must work out in the evening, listen to the MAPS then.

If you can't listen to them while you are working out, then download this mp3 file to your home computer and invest the time to listen to them first thing in the morning.

Even if you get “bored” with this process, promise yourself to stick with it for 30 days. Many times, we are getting positive results in our lives and we have no idea where to credit the cause of those positive results. These MAPS may be just one of those instances. Remember that when things are going well for you in your life—and you don't feel like listening to the MAPS anymore.

Good luck!

The Alpha Male Controls "The "Frame"

The Alpha male understands the importance of establishing the frame of every relationship he enters. He executes “seizing the frame” of the relationship FIRST simply because he already knows exactly what he wants out of the relationship before it begins.

He understands that changing the frame of a relationship once it has already been established will be difficult. The Alpha male understands he will have a lot of work, negotiation, and time to invest if he wants to change the frame of a relationship later on.

Keep on, keepin' on, Bro!

Hey, Big Guy.

It's Skip La Cour with an important MANformation Message:

Sometimes, you need to just "keep on, keepin' on."

No matter how committed you are to taking your leadership skills to a higher level, there will be those stretches in time when you seem to being going BACKWARD. You could be thinking all the same great thoughts and doing all the same well-planned actions that have created success in the past--but now things just don't go your way.

Man! Those times can be FRUSTRATING, can't they!

That's how your MANformation journey will APPEAR to be at times. You follow through with your MANformation Alpha Daily Disciplines (MADDs) on a consistent basis and with precision; you continually work at mastering your own mindset; you are conscious of displaying powerful body language; and you use the same effective skills when dealing with other people that you have conditioned yourself to do--but the very same habits and strategies just don't seem produce the same results.

In fact, you may feel that you are actually turning the people around you OFF--and you can't even persuade and influence your own dog!

If you examine your situation more closely, you perception may just be an ILLUSION. Oftentimes, it's not that things in our lives are getting worse; it's just that your success in the past has caused you to raise your EXPECTATIONS. You simply demand more out of yourself and from others.

This is awesome sign of personal GROWTH--if you choose to adopt this empowering perspective. When you raise your STANDARDS and EXPECTATIONS, you will you inevitably create some level of pressure, stress, and discomfort--especially at first. Pressure, stress, and discomfort create that "fire in your belly" that gets you to take immediate action and find the most effective SOLUTIONS to the challenges that stand in your way. Without it, you'll just be complacent and unmotivated to create change.

The key is to keep that pressure, stress, and discomfort MANAGEABLE in your own mind, body, and spirit.

Sure, things may not be going your way right now-but haven't you been through times like these before? When you reflect back on similar times, didn't they disappear just as quickly as they arrived?

Just keep following through with the MANformation principles and you will eventually be back on a ROLL. Trust me. I've had those same challenging periods that you may be going through right now many times in the past and I EXPECT to have more in the future.

I am CONFIDENT that challenging times will get better and I EXPECT them to get better because of the systematic approach that I've created in the MANformation principles.

What you need to do is just "keep on, keepin' on"!

If you want to learn more about these MANformation principles, order my 11 hour and 30 minute audio seminar course "The Mindset and Actions of a Powerful Alpha Male Leader" today. You'll have the mp3 sound files and the PDF workbooks within MINUTES.

The Alpha Male Gets TOUGHER During Difficult Times (And Does NOT Hope for Things to Get EASIER)

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

The Only Time You Are Growing Is When You Are Uncomfortable


The Alpha male is a leader by design—not by chance. The Alpha male is s strong and powerful FORCE because he has paid his dues in life time and time again. He has continually stepped up to the challenges that have stood in his way—and did not look for ways to avoid them. Whether he succeeded, failed, or experienced something in between, the Alpha male became STRONGER with every single experience.

The only way for you to become the strong and powerful man you want to be is through the “practice and exercise” of these MANformation principles during the tough, less-than-ideal conditions that life inevitably offers.

Instead of hoping for times to get easier, you must demand yourself to become physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically TOUGHER to handle anything that comes your way.

Some pressure; some stress; and a little discomfort are not necessarily bad things. The MANformation principles will help you use pressure, stress, and discomfort to EMPOWER you. The Alpha male realizes that, in order to maximize productivity in his life, he absolutely must create some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort—and do so on a continual basis.

Some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort force you to step and up and use all of your physical, mental, emotional, and psychological abilities to the fullest. Without some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort, why would you ever need to perform at your very best? You should willingly, joyfully, and enthusiastically welcome some manageable pressure, some stress, and some discomfort into your life to drive you to become a better version of you.

Some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort are necessary evils in life if you want to get everything you want. They can become quite burdensome and difficult to deal with at times. Without some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort, however, there would be no real sense of urgency to get anything accomplished whatsoever—let alone accomplish tasks that produce outstanding results. Even if you don't meet your ambitious, self-imposed goals, you will end up far more productive over time than those people who do not allow themselves to feel some pressure, some stress, and some discomfort.

The only time you are growing is when you are uncomfortable.

What's Up with the Act? Carry Yourself the Way You Really See Yourself!

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Is Acting Humble REALLY Serving You Well In Your Life?

The vast majority of us DO NOT have the problem of thinking we are BETTER than we really are. Most of us sell ourselves WAY TOO SHORT. We don't give ourselves nearly as much credit as we should. We don't carry ourselves with the confidence we should.

While we are selling ourselves short, we unintentionally convince other people to treat us accordingly. The people around us simply fall in line with the way we are presenting ourselves. And we wonder why we sometimes don't get treated with the respect that we deserve? Think about that.

Even if you actually thought and acted like you were as good as you really are, you should NEVER play yourself down and act humble just to make other people feel comfortable. You should NEVER act humble just to make other people (who may be struggling with their own happiness and confidence) comfortable in your presence. If they don't feel comfortable in your presence just because you display confidence, that's their problem-not yours.

If you think and act as good as you really are, that's a GREAT quality to have.

The number of people in this world who act BETTER than they really are is so small that I wouldn't even worry about that challenge. And, if you already know you are having trouble convincing people to treat you with the respect you deserve, acting humble shouldn't even be a consideration.

Trust me. The people in this world who are truly comfortable with their lives will be impressed with your confidence.

The Alpha Male Has the COURAGE It Takes to Control the Frame of Every Relationship

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

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 Alpha Male Knows EXACTLY What He Wants from EVERY Situation

By Skip La Cour
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

Get clear on exactly what you want in this world. That sounds like such a simple, easy-to-implement way of thinking—but it's really not. Just like most of the things you do in life, there is always a higher, more accomplished, and more proficient level you can operate at. The higher level you can operate at in anything in life, the greater the rewards you will enjoy.

Learning how to take your “knowing exactly what you want” thinking ability to the next level is no exception. With enough focus, assessment, and practice, you will see that whatever level you understand and execute knowing exactly what you want now, it will pale in comparison five years from now. That is, of course, if you do the continual work needed to improve. The clearer you can get about knowing exactly what you want out of every situation in life, the better. When you get better at knowing exactly what you want, the options in life that you will create for yourself will dramatically increase. Never take for granted that you are already doing “good enough” in this area of your life. Adopt the belief that you can always do a better job.

Make sure that you ask for what you really want in life—instead of asking for what you think you can get. Instead of asking yourself “Hmmm . . . I wonder what I could get out of this situation?” get in the habit of always ask yourself “What do I WANT in this situation?” This may seem like a small difference as it appears in the written word but, in the real world “law of the jungle,” there is a MASSIVE difference!

This is a major difference between the way an Alpha male* thinks and how less dominant and Beta males think. Less dominant and Beta males will think to themselves “I really want ‘this.' It would be awesome if it worked out that way—but I bet they'll only give me ‘that.' I'll suggest a compromise that's somewhere in between ‘this' and ‘that' instead.”

Less dominant and Beta males will take themselves through this back-and-forth thinking process BEFORE the negotiation with another person even begins! Less dominant and Beta males will oftentimes UNCONSCIOUSLY do this and then wonder why they never seem to get what they really want in life. There is no mystery here. These mediocre results they settle for are NOT happening by accident.

This is NOT the way an Alpha male thinks. In his most powerful and determined mental state, the Alpha male identifies, focuses on, and then tenaciously goes after exactly what he really wants—and never settles for a watered-down version unless he is forced to do so.

Be decisive when identifying what you really want. Learn how to make decisions quickly by practicing making decisions any time you can. It doesn't matter how big or small the decisions you make are, just make as many of them as you can. Just like exercising in the gym, you will start building and maintaining your “decision-making muscle.”

You can always make adjustments or an entirely new decision later if needed or when you have more information. This is another key difference between the Alpha male and less dominant and Beta males. Less dominant and Beta males will collect massive amounts of information and invest a lot of time before making all of their decisions. If a decision they make doesn't turn out to be the best decision, they go through the entire belabored process all over again collecting even more data and investing even more time.

Although the less dominant and Beta males might achieve a higher percentage of “victories” versus so-called “losses,” the Alpha male enjoys a significantly higher number of victories during the same time period because he has made so many more decisions. It's the number of victories that you experience—not the higher percent of victories compared to losses—that will get you ahead in life. The more decisions you make, the greater your chances for more victories.

The Alpha male concentrates on racking up as many victories as he can in the shortest period of time—regardless of how any so-called “losses” might affect his ego (because he won't let them) or how they may look in other people's eyes (because he doesn't care). Less dominant and Beta males get overly concerned with how many “losses” they will suffer, how those losses might affect their more fragile egos, and fear how badly they might look in other people's eyes.
