What Does It Take To Be A "Somebody"?

"The lifestyle that I live, I got from working every day, 20 hours a day, for 10 years. And I tell you, if you do that sh#t, you will be somebody."

-- Sean "Diddy" Combs The Source magazine (1995)

There's No Need for Ineffective "Qualifying Statements"

By Skip La Cour
Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation® Personal Development Program for Men

Simply Make Your Point with Confidence

"Qualifying Statements" are safe buffers people say before the REAL point they want to make."I know you might not agree with me on this but....." and "Now, I know you are going to think this is crazy but...." are examples of qualifying statements.

The Alpha male never offers qualifying statements before making his point anticipating resistance or disapproval. He confidently speaks his mind and just assumes what he says will be met with approval.

Just say what you want to say. Qualifying statements will not produce the outcome you want--no matter how noble your intentions may be. They only weaken your position, make you appear uncertain, and open the door to resistance from the person or people you are talking to. If they don't agree with you point of view--so be it.

"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.

You aren't necessarily the "better" man just because you can successfully AVOID disagreements


By Skip La Cour
Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men

www.MANformation.com

Conflict RESOLUTION does not mean conflict AVOIDANCE.

If you believe conflict avoidance is an effective strategy for get what you want in life, this is a belief system that must be eliminated immediately.

You must understand that you are not necessarily a "better" man just because you can successfully avoid these challenging situations. If fact, you are probably selling yourself short with other people by doing so.

Disagreements, conflicts, and confrontations are oftentimes important parts of the negotiation process between people that will eventually lead to agreements that can satisfy both parties.

Of course, it may appear that you are getting along well with people when conflict is avoided. At least, in the short run it will. How hard is it to stay out of other people's way and give them what they want? The leaders in this world who get what they want in life would love for you to avoid conflict, get out of their way, and give them what they want.

The Alpha male is extremely confident and comfortable in the midst of conflict. How does he become so confident and comfortable? The Alpha male gets confident and comfortable by constantly stepping up to the challenge every time he must. If he thinks that he must stand up for himself and his position—then he does it. He conditions himself to never back down during those challenging times—even if he is uncomfortable. The Alpha male practices and exercises this mindset until it is firmly integrated into his personality. The Alpha male practices and exercises taking action until doing so becomes automatic.

Strive to Earn RESPECT from Other People and Not Approval

By Skip La Cour
Success and Leadership Coach
Creator of the MANformation Personal Development Program for Men


Leaders are always willing to take stand. They are willing to take a stand when it easy--and especially when it is challenging.

When dealing with other people, getting 100 percent approval should never be your ultimate goal. You will never get 100 percent approval from other people when you take a stand.

You want to earn other people's RESPECT.

Although other people may not agree with your opinions, they will respect you as a person when you confidently take a position on side or the other. People will respect you when you are decisive. People will respect you when you are passionate, competent, and focused. You'll discover that other people will adjust to your way of thinking without much of a challenge when you present yourself that way.
