It has been my experience that 98 out of every 100 men are just like weeds in the wind.
They bend this way and they also bend that way, whichever direction the wind is blowing that day.
It has further been my experience that 2 men out of every 100 men stand very firm regardless of which way the wind is blowing on ANY day.
Now I know the title of this article is “How to be a man” but that is not entirely true.
The subject of this article is “How to be a great man. An absolute Winner who Kicks Ass and one who is ultra successful”
Notice the word great.
Anyone can be a man, it takes something much more to become a VERY great man.
I aim to show you the way to be superior to that of the very ordinary and common “average man“.
I don’t care to show you how to shave, or pee standing up, or to show you which deodorant is the MOST manliest, I care only to show you the way to become great.
If you want to be a REAL man, go fart in a beer can and laugh about it with all the other morons sitting on the bar-stools next to you.
If you want to be a great man (and an absolute Winner who kicks ass in the game of life!)…
Put away all of the distractions and read THIS list with your very much undivided attention…
HOW TO BE A GREAT MAN (and a Winner Who Kicks Ass in the game of life!)
1) Open your eyes to reality.
It is the #1 duty of a leader to make sure his eyes are WIDE OPEN.
It sounds obvious but trust me, it isn’t.
When I speak very simple truths to people they look at me like I’m an alien.
As if to say “b-b-b-but you cannot say that! Truth should be ignored!”
So MANY people are completely and totally oblivious to reality.
They would rather believe in a fairy tale of a “third eye” rather than open their two regular eyes to see the world as it actually is.
Here is a rather PERFECT example which will help to illustrate my point…
I found this comment on a random YouTube video:
“Majority of the population has there eyes sewed shut with there heads in the sand .. Its time to wake up open your third eyes’ and see everything and anything you want..”
Wouldn’t it make more sense to simply open your eyes and remove your head from the sand?
Actually, that is TOO OBVIOUS and you CANNOT realistically expect 98% of this dumb, brain-dead human population to ever even SEE the very glaringly obvious.
This is their grave misfortune and your huge very-much BIG great fortune.
Their very blind attitude is an invitation to “bad luck”… and “bad luck” is NOT fit for a man of VERY great fortune.
A man of fortune has to SEE the “opportunity” in order to take advantage of it.
2) Develop a very “lucky attitude“
“Luck” comes to those men who have a very good luck mindset.
“Bad luck” comes to the men who always say this: “I have the absolute WORST luck!”
Listen here and listen very well: Words are magic spells. That is why we spell words.
Every word you SAY becomes true so NEVER ever say negative things in relation to yourself.
Every negative BAD word that you use is black magic and every positive GOOD word that you use is white magic.
Do NOT ever be foolish and cast a “bad luck spell” on yourself.
Use only positive GOOD words such as:
- “I am SO very lucky”
- “I have the absolute BEST luck in the whole ENTIRE world”
- “I have an insane amount of great fortune”
- “I am the MOST luckiest man alive”
- “Good fortune comes to me just like birds come to trees“
Becoming “lucky” is an insanely very EASY thing to actually do.
When you’re “lucky”, people will start paying much more attention to you.
3) Make people pay attention to you
Gene Simmons from KISS tells a great story to very PERFECTLY illustrate my point…
“When I was a little kid, up in the hills of Israel, my friend Shlomo and I — he was a Moroccan Jew — went up the hills of Mount Carmel. People used to come home from work, and the very last stop on the bus stop was the beginning of Mount Carmel, the village.
I remember — Shlomo and I went to the top of the hill and picked cactus fruit. I remember when I first was sitting there as the first bus rolled in, we didn’t make a lot of noise. I must have been about six, and Shlomo must have been seven or eight..
I didn’t say anything — I was waiting for them to come over, because I’ve got cold cactus fruit. Nobody came over. Then I went, ‘Hey!’, and more people came over.
The bigger of a nuisance and the bigger a spectacle that I made of myself, the more we sold.
That’s the first lesson of mother nature and in show business — when the mother bird brings back a juicy worm, who do you think’s going to get the worm: the biggest bird, the healthiest bird, or the sickliest little putz that squeaks the loudest?
You have to grab life by the scruff of the neck and demand to pay you some attention.
You will only get the respect you demand. You have to puff out your chest, and if you don’t have it, fake it.”
Like Gene said, you do WHATEVER you HAVE to do to GET what YOU actually WANT.
4) Just Say “No” to zen
Zen is self-help for people who DON’T actually WANT to do ANYTHING to REALLY actually HELP themselves.
Here is a picture perfect example of some zen nonsense bullshit type of advice:
“Being in the here and now and being at one with yourself is the ultimate cure. In other words, not letting your mind wander into the past / future. Stop identifying with your thoughts, live in the here and now, and everything else happens easily and organically.”
Let’s quickly break this advice down… so that YOU may understand WHY exactly it REALLY is some nonsense bullshit useless type of advice….
- “Being in the here and now and being at one with yourself is the ultimate cure” = Zen mumbo jumbo that means absolutely NOTHING and gives you NO concrete or very specific next step.
- “Not letting your mind wander into the past / future” = Don’t learn from the past and don’t plan for the future, which is a great way to very quickly get EXACTLY nowhere.
- “Stop identifying with your thoughts” = Schizophrenia
What these zen people are telling you is that thoughts WITHOUT action will get you results… and that you can flat out ignore your whole entire BODY… and STILL actually get results.
Don’t make me laugh… LOL!
THE BODY IS THE MIND.
Your body is the physical projection of your mind.
If you keep your body supremely healthy… your mind will also be supremely healthy too as well.
Don’t you THINK that there is a reason that Superman looks like SUPERMAN… and NOT just like the Penguin?
If Superman looked just like the Penguin do you REALLY think he would be the SAME man with the SAME exact mindset?
Get real.
If your BODY looked like Superman… your MIND would also be EXACTLY just like Superman…
Because the whole entire mind IS the whole entire body.
BOTH need to always be kept very healthy.
5) Don’t use ANY drugs and don’t ever drink ANY damn alcohol regularly
To be a very GREAT man of BUSINESS you must always be of a calm, very clear mind.
There is literally NO other way to say it but to say it VERY bluntly and plainly: drugs and alcohol will absolutely ruin you if you make it a daily habit of using them regularly.
This is one area where I REALLY do wholeheartedly recommend either total moderation or complete total abstinence.
A glass of wine with dinner is absolutely fine.
A beer or two is also certainly completely fine.
Making it a habit of getting and being completely intoxicated is definitely certainly NOT.
PT Barnum said it well:
As no man can succeed in business unless he has a brain to enable him to lay his plans, and reason to guide him in their execution, so, no matter how bountifully a man may be blessed with intelligence, if the brain is muddled, and his judgment warped by intoxicating drinks, it is impossible for him to carry on business successfully.”
Nearly all mentally ill and depressed people have a problem with drugs and alcohol.
Here are just a few people who absolutely LOVED both drugs and alcohol (notice how they all eventually ended up):
- Kurt Cobain
- Jimi Hendrix
- Chester Bennington
- Chris Cornell
- Layne Staley
- Heath Ledger
Everybody who stays in the party scene can expect
a) their minds to turn to mush AND….
b) to one day wake up in jail, the nuthouse, the intensive care unit, or the morgue where they won’t ever even wake up at all.
Jail is the absolute BEST that you can “hope” for when you play around with the “hard stuff”… and that is exactly WHY so many jailbirds say “I go to jail to clean up.”
Spending your whole ENTIRE life wasted is EXACTLY the SAME as just simply wasting your life.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking I am speaking of performance enhancing drugs, I am speaking only of certain performance decreasing drugs.
Performance enhancing drugs are almost definitely an actual necessity in this world.
6) Maintain high testosterone and low estrogen levels
Hormones are absolutely EVERYTHING.
To be a truly GREAT man you MUST have VERY high testosterone AND extremely low estrogen.
Ladyboys like Crazy Uncle Caitlyn have extremely VERY wacky hormones.
Update your testosterone before you officially become WAY TOO gay.
To be a 100% Man it is totally absolutely necessary to completely control your hormones to the absolute BEST of your ability using any methods that actually WORK.
Which leads us to my next VERY important rule, which is very mild and EASY to follow…
7) Don’t ever get butt-fucked
Recently I stayed in a hotel that had the restrooms outside, separated from the neighbor’s restroom by only a small brick wall so I could hear the neighbors.
One day I heard 2 German fellows showering together, laughing about dropping the soap and playing grab-ass.
They were laughing and just having a really great time and right then I thought to myself: “Good lord that’s gay.”
Now I’m no member of the moral police and I REALLY don’t care if someone is actually gay, but NOBODY is going to confuse a fruity fellow with an actual GREAT man.
“But Elijah, it’s totally normal for 2 guys to butt-fuck each other lol!”
Yeah right.
Absolutely NOBODY is going to high-five you for specifically butt-fucking another man.
A GREAT man is only born from a GOOD father and also a VERY good mother, so…
8) You MUST always… Pick the right wife
I DON’T recommend ever getting married, the cons always FAR outweigh the (supposed) benefits.
But if you do actually manage to somehow get married you MUST make it your #1 priority to always pick the right wife.
Here’s EXACTLY how to just that…
Your wife is your business partner… NOT your ONE true love.
A marriage will be the absolute GREATEST business partnership you will ever form and you MUST choose VERY wisely.
If you marry someone for “love” you are making a VERY extremely foolish decision.
Love and looks will ALL fade very quickly in due time, you will be left only with LOTS and LOTS of attitude.
Your wife has to have a VERY positive mental attitude… just like you.
Together, with a shared common goal, you will be able to do MANY great things that are almost impossible to do if you were completely and totally alone.
Speaking of “love”, it isn’t REALLY actually even REAL.
“Love” is an infatuation that happens when…
- a) someone cares less about YOU than you care about them OR
- b) a lovely looking lady has bewitched you with her looks.
We all know men who become flat out DUMB and STUPID when they meet a pretty cute, very attractive girl.
This is because they have simply been bewitched.
Bewitching happens when pretty girls use charm and sex to put an absolute total hex on you.
THIS is exactly WHY it is SO very important to choose a wife for MUCH MORE than just her attractive looks.
“I don’t believe in love at first sight. I think it’s a grave mistake. You’re attracted by physical characteristics and you will regret it.” -Lee Kuan Yew
In your quest for great SUCCESS, her helpful attitude is much more important than her looks, attractive fashion style, or glamour.
Chasing her LOOKS will end up with her being in total and complete control of you.
Chasing glamour can cause otherwise… VERY capable men to lose absolutely EVERYTHING.
Remember this… she is only your BUSINESS PARTNER.
Make sure that your business partner has the EXACT SAME positive mental attitude… and the EXACT SAME life mission goal as you.
Your partnership can produce MANY grand and spectacular things OR… it can produce your total ruin… and END your whole complete ENTIRE career…
Along with your reputation, pension, financial stability to erupt to total ashes and go up in smokes as well.
Always choose the right wife NO MATTER what else that you do…
By her attitude and willingness to go with YOU on your 1,000 mile journey to absolute total greatness.
Don’t ever “do the right thing” and get married to try and be a “good guy” because being TOO NICE… I promise will be your total and absolute ruin.
9) Don’t be too nice
Do you remember the story I told you about the invisible little girl in the supermarket?
“I was shopping at the local supermarket the other day and in front of me in line was a little girl.
She looked like she was waiting to pay for something, but she didn’t say anything so no one paid any attention to her.
She was at the front of the checkout line. There were about 3 people in front of me. They all purchased their food and left, the little girl just silently stood there.
When I got to the front of the line, I looked at the little girl and I looked at the cashier. I said “what does this little girl want?”
Finally the cashier looked at the little girl and asked her what she wanted. The little girl said she wanted to buy some candy.
She was too nice to say anything so she just waited until somebody acknowledged her before she could buy her candy.
Finally after she was asked what she wanted, she was able to buy her candy and leave.”
Do you know what I realized after seeing the invisible little girl?
Being TOO NICE can make you absolutely invisible in this 21st century world.
It’s OK to be nice as a kiddo, but when you grow up… it’s time to grow some balls because “nice guys” are treated MUCH worse than what is invisible.
NOBODY respects “nice guys” because “nice guys” don’t demand respect or command ANY type of fear.
In other words, they have the EXACT characteristics of what is scientifically called a “pussy”.
Being “nice” can become your ULTIMATE demise, you gotta be just a little bit mean in order to actually get… the green.
10) Make A LOT of Money
Friend, let’s face reality.
You’re not REALLY much of a man if you’re broke, are you?
That is because MONEY is a manifestation of your mentality as a man.
When I started making BIG Money Online… people started treating me with a whole bunch of BIG respect.
Not because I flash money, but because my mentality matured and I silently started to command respect.
When you can command MONEY, you can command the whole ENTIRE world.
Making BIG money has absolutely NOTHING at all to do with “luck“…
it has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with your ability as a man of… will (NOT skill).
Men of will… have TONS of god damn fucking money.
“Rich people are creators of circumstance.” -Jordan Belfort
“But Elijah, you can’t take money with you when you die!!!!!” -Loser Guy
When you die you also CANNOT take ANY potato chips, snack cakes and soda pop with you either…
But that doesn’t STOP YOU from consuming them every single day in front of your internet porno screen.
“…touché.” -Loser Guy
11) Stop masturbating to internet porn
Internet porn saps your VERY precious vital energy and darkens your eyes and your whole ENTIRE soul.
Be a REAL LIFE sex god… don’t ever be a lame dumb STUPID… dark bedroom computer weirdo.
Sex in real life GIVES YOU VITAL ENERGY.
Internet porn only simply takes it away.
Also, do NOT ever become flat out addicted to social media.
It is totally unbecoming of a man to gossip on social media websites all day long.
Being a GREAT man (and an absolute WINNER who kicks ass!)…
Requires you to live in the REAL actual world and do REAL things that truly actually benefit REAL people.
When you spend all of your time watching internet porn… or gossiping all night long on social media…
All that you are REALLY actually doing is wasting and throwing your whole ENTIRE life away.
If you love to stare at words SO MUCH…
Why waste your eyes READING social media garbage when you could be READING true REAL actual knowledge?
12) Be VERY… well read
In my VERY large home in Los Angeles… I started with a VERY small library in the back corner…
The library eventually grew to completely overtake ANY open spot in the home…
At first I had a VERY small library in my home… then I had a VERY small home in my library.
I eventually sold, gave away or trashed all of my possessions except for my books which are STILL in safe storage until my eventual return.
Knowledge is WAY TOO valuable to just GIVE AWAY to the uninitiated and the unconcerned.
All GREAT men of knowledge gained their knowledge the EXACT same way:
By being voracious book readers AND applying that knowledge to only REAL LIFE situations.
All of the knowledge in the ENTIRE known world is inside of books… the more books you read, the more knowledge that you will gain.
Always be 100% sure to put your NEW knowledge to use… because knowledge unused is completely absolutely worthless.
NOBODY appreciates a VERY lame book-worm nerd who NEVER accomplished anything.
EVERYBODY respects… well-read men who ALWAYS put their newly acquired knowledge to MUCH great use.
Put the BEST books for men on your bookshelf and actually earn the knowledge of the absolute ages.
These great authors of the ages will teach you MANY very, very valuable life lessons.
13) Always wear a mask of success
Success requires that you ALWAYS wear a mask of SUCCESS.
You must NEVER be “caught with your pants down”.
Wearing a mask… is NOT about hiding, it is about showing only the BEST aspects of your EXACT personality.
Always be “on” by wearing a proverbial mask and NEVER let ANYONE ever catch you slipping.
Relax in private, NEVER ever relax out in public.
In public, you show only your very BEST actual self.
For example, just because you woke up ONE day in a VERY bad mood… does NOT mean that YOU need to show it to OTHER people.
You’ve got to ALWAYS… put your BEST foot forward.
14) Develop your very own personal uniform
I recently grew my hair long and grew a hippie beard and I noticed ONE very simple thing:
People treated me like a VERY disgusting hippie bum.
They would sometimes outright hassle me at airline customs for absolutely NO reason… at all (other than the glaringly VERY obvious!).
When I shaved the beard and got an absolutely terrific haircut, people again started treating me just like absolute royalty.
People treat you much BETTER when you are dressed well.
This is just a VERY simple…. fact of life.
Friend, it is all in the presentation.
If you present the absolute BEST version of yourself… then people will treat you like the absolute BEST version of yourself.
THIS is the #1 reason why it is SO very important to dress well… every single day.
To dress well… every single day WITHOUT fail… you should do exactly what other WINNERS actually do… and develop your very own personal uniform.
All of the damn #1 self-made & self-paid GREATS… from Steve Jobs to even Abraham Lincoln… had a very distinct and a very unique look.
15) Work Hard… every single day
Working hard… every single day… is the #1 REAL secret “magic“… that allows great things to happen… and saves a man’s soul.
You want to live in heaven?
Heaven is found in the discipline and work ethic of VERY daily work.
Want to live in hell?
Then DON’T ever do ANY work.
There is a very BIG reason why welfare bums are SO damn miserable all the fucking time (they don’t ever work!).
When you DON’T work… every single day… you have literally NO desire for life.
Without a reason to actually work…. every single day… there is NO reason to live life… at all.
Work is desire.
Work is absolute FREEDOM.
A day off… is simply a day for some slavery… which VERY quickly transforms into a day simply filled with absolute boredom… and eventually longing and sloth… and very soon… depression.
“I hated days off!” -Jerry Rice
Don’t you see…
That it is the mere discipline of developing and KEEPING a work schedule… that keeps you truly REALLY actually FREE?
Take advantage of nature’s remedy and develop a VERY rock solid work ethic.
It is downright EASY to have a REAL indestructible work ethic… When you work for something MUCH BIGGER than yourself.
16) Have a muse that makes you WORK… for more
Muse = a person or personified force who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist.
It is only when you work for something MUCH BIGGER than yourself… that you begin to REALLY accomplish… MANY great things.
Nobody cares about themselves in the way that they care about the object of their whole complete desire.
When you have a muse… you work towards something MUCH BIGGER than yourself… and you will accomplish something BIGGER and more GREATER than yourself.
(Of course, accomplishing something BIG… also requires you to go out… completely on your own…)
17) Be a high energy entrepreneur
Sorry, but you CANNOT be a GREAT man if you call another man, or woman, “boss”.
Responsibility is ALWAYS the very first step to ULTIMATE FREEDOM.
To be a GREAT man is to accept ultimate and 100% complete total… great responsibility.
Letting somebody else be your boss, and letting them be responsible for you, costs you the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ever be a GREAT man.
To be a great man is to walk out into the complete unknown, entirely all on your absolute own.
It takes absolute complete balls of steel to become an entrepreneur because entrepreneurs have absolutely ZERO safety net.
It is literally do or die.
Sink or swim.
All GREAT men of the world have gone into the complete absolute unknown and come back with their wonderful treasure.
Treasure is only for leaders so learn how to be a leader and get your damn precious treasure.
18) Don’t ask for ANY respect… take it
I NEVER asked ANYBODY in my life for some damn motherfucking respect.
The respect given to me has absolutely NOTHING to do with my desire for it… because I don’t care for it and I DON’T even REALLY yearn for it.
I respect myself and I have for all of my damn motherfucking life.
Down to my bones, I know ONE thing for absolutely certain: I am 100% correct.
What ANOTHER person “thinks” is NOT significant to me… at all.
Do you know the REALLY funny thing that actually happens when you FIRST respect yourself and DON’T yearn for ANY damn approval at all?
You are granted TONS of respect by all people.
It happens VERY naturally… to be 100% totally completely honest.
If you want to get respect you have to respect yourself FIRST.
If you do NOT respect yourself… then absolutely NOBODY at all will motherfucking respect you.
Respect yourself FIRST… and NEVER again “worry” about what OTHER people truly actually “think”.
Worrying about what OTHER people “think” is completely 100% feminine… and WILL definitely cause other people to NOT ever motherfucking respect you.
Learn how to STOP worrying and START motherfucking winning.
19) Never ever… apologize
Have you ever read survival stories from people who were attacked by sharks or bears and got away?
How EXACTLY did they manage to get away?
They got away by fighting.
If you want to get away from a shark, punch it in the mouth and it will let you go.
You have to FIGHT BACK or be eaten alive.
In our world, we have to fight crybabies who demand apologies.
To fight them off, instead of throwing a punch, what you do is stand firm and NEVER APOLOGIZE.
NEVER showing any remorse or apologies is the EXACT SAME THING as throwing a punch.
Being absolutely defiant and NEVER apologizing is the only true REAL way… that will ever allow you to live in REAL actual peace.
If you apologize even ONE time… they will NOT stop tearing you to pieces until there is literally NOTHING left to tear.
“Apology is weakness, show NO weakness.”
When you apologize you do NOT ever appease the crowd, you further enrage them and they will descend upon you like a thousand vultures in hell.
20) Learn how to defend yourself
If you don’t learn to defend yourself, then who WILL defend you?
Mom and dad CANNOT be there at all times.
The only person who is WITH YOU at all times is yourself.
You can only depend only on yourself… to defend yourself.
In THIS world… people will prey on you… BUT only IF… you allow them.
It is imperative to learn how to defend yourself… so that you do NOT ever become a victim.
Learn how to be cold… when it is TIME to actually be cold.
21) Be independent
All GREAT men of character are lone wolves by nature.
That is because there is only ONE person who you can ALWAYS depend on: yourself.
Learn from the BEST but ALWAYS remember: There are NO role-models for being an individual.
Nobody can teach you how to become the absolute BEST version of yourself.
It is entirely YOUR “job” to learn and earn your way to complete and total financial independence.
Nietzche said that an independent man proves that he is NOT only strong, but also daring beyond measure.
To be daring beyond measure… requires you to have a VERY clear vision of the FUTURE… and to endlessly work towards it.
22) Live in the future
I once heard a VERY great con man say: “Life can only be understood looking backwards; unfortunately, it must be lived forwards.”
To be a GREAT man… is to be able to disregard immediate results… and WORK towards… future goals.
Never follow this “live in the now” zen silliness.
Living in the NOW… is only what dogs do.
Never thinking about the “future” and NEVER learning from the past, and just barely getting by… begging for scraps of food.
As a man it is VERY important to be future oriented and plant seeds for the future.
In THIS world it is imperative… that you learn from all of your past mistakes… and that you plan for the future… and stick to the plan.
23) Exercise every single day
Exercise is not just for physical development, it is also for YOUR mental and physical health.
You HAVE to exercise to be healthy, in BOTH mind and body.
Exercise just has to be a part of your daily routine just like shitting, showering, and shaving.
Exercise is also the way that you can develop LOTS of very tremendous amounts of energy.
Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once said; the world absolutely belongs to those who are energetic.
24) Develop the body of a Bad-ass Gladiator
I can promise you ONE very simple thing: People treat you well when you look EXACTLY like a Greek God.
In my life, I have been skinny and I have been VERY heavily muscled.
Here’s EXACTLY what I have learned…
When you’re skinny… you’re just a regular person.
When you’re muscled up… you become SOMETHING more… and people respect… and treat you as… SOMETHING more.
People will come to you, completely and totally… out of the blue… just to touch your arms and say “WOW!”
To be the absolute BEST that you can be… requires YOU to… develop YOUR body… to the absolute BEST of its ability.
Remember, physical development aka Bodybuilding… is NOT the same thing as actual exercising.
Exercise is what you do for your heart and your mind…
Bodybuilding is what you do to make your body look EXACTLY like Zeus… and you CANNOT die WITHOUT looking EXACTLY like Zeus at least once in your life.
You gotta develop sexy 6 pack abs at least once in your life.
A great body will make you stand tall and proud above all else.
25) Learn from the BEST (ignore the rest)
People ALWAYS ask me if I read XYZ person or if I follow XYZ person’s philosophy…
…and here is my FINAL answer: Hell no!
I DON’T.
I live life completely my own way.
I find only tidbits from OTHER people… and I put them together into my own Full Color philosophy of life.
To be the absolute BEST… you’ve got to learn from the best… and ignore all of the rest.
I did mention, it is important to learn from books, but you have to learn from the “right” books.
It has again, been my experience that 98 out of every 100 books… are NOT written by masters… but by mere students rehashing the teachings of that master.
To learn from the absolute BEST, you have to find the 2% of books that were actually written by the masters of their respective chosen fields. (Even then you can only take bits and pieces from them to form your very own philosophy.)
These books are easy to know… because they will jump out at you as if they were actually alive.
The words will seem to be speaking directly to YOU.
These books… are the wows-makers that make you open your eyes and mouth to say “WOW!”
26) Don’t ever compare yourself to them
Comparing yourself to others is absolutely futile… because the only competition you will ever have is yourself.
You are YOU, he is him, she is her, and they are them.
Do NOT ever “worry” about them, only worry about what YOU can personally actually control… and the only thing which YOU can actually REALLY only control is yourself.
THERE IS NO COMPETITION.
There is absolutely NO competition… to be YOU… because there is only one YOU… and there will only ever be one of YOU.
Be you and always be your absolute BEST.
Who gives a damn what Teddy and Freddy are doing?
That is their very own business.
Let them be involved in their own business… and YOU stick to yours.
27) Think twice before saying NOTHING!
They say that a great diplomat is a man who thinks twice before saying NOTHING.
Heed this very GREAT advice and don’t ever be too fucking chatty.
When you speak TOO MUCH you give away absolutely EVERYTHING.
You give away your plans, your strategy, your capabilities AND your fears.
“You never open your mouth ’til you know what the shot is.” -Al Pacino, Glengarry Glen Ross
Many GREAT men of history have said… that it is a FAR greater accomplishment to listen well… than it is to actually speak well.
The 4 rules of speaking:
- Never interrupt people when they are speaking. I constantly see the 98% of the absolute failures interrupting people, unable to hold in their words for a few more short moments.
- When it comes to BUSINESS, always be the very LAST person to speak. Let everyone else reveal their thoughts, consider all of the information, then open your mouth and let your voice be heard. You will ALWAYS be the wisest man in the room if you are the very last man in the room to ever open his mouth.
- Always speak with finality and exude complete authority. Never speak TOO MUCH, always leave something left unsaid.
- When you do FINALLY speak, make sure you have something REAL to actually say. Never, ever speak just to only complain.
28) Never ever complain
Complaints are feminine.
Feminine types complain because they believe that they do NOT have the ability to change their circumstance, which is 100% incorrect.
Women can change their circumstance as easily as men.
Change is NOTHING but an attitude of the mind.
Complaining KEEPS YOU from evolving to a MUCH higher form.
As a true man of virtue… there is NO valid acceptable reason… to ever complain.
“A warrior cannot complain or regret anything.” -Carlos Castañeda
29) Harness your sexual energy
Every GREAT man is VERY highly sexed.
It is THIS… vital sexual energy… that is the engine of absolutely all greatness.
To be a GREAT man… you have to use your sex energy… and transmute it… into doing some excellent damn good BUSINESS.
So MANY people over-complicate transmutation of sexual energy.
They THINK that there is some kinda witchcraft voodoo process… when it is REALLY… actually VERY simple:
Be highly sexed and transfer that sexual energy into some type of high quality BUSINESS or art.
What is the absolute #1 MOST creative act on earth?
Sex!
Sex creates a living human being organism.
It is the absolute utmost in creativity.
Use THIS sexual energy… in your BUSINESS, your writing, or your art… to get the absolute MOST creativity out of yourself.
30) Always Strive to be brave
A GREAT man is above all else… a VERY brave man.
To become a GREAT man… you must learn how to be brave… by doing SOMETHING brave… like killing a tiger with your bare hands… OR… going into BUSINESS for yourself.
Entrepreneurship is brave…
Because when you START no one will believe in you…
No one will trust you…
No one will help you…
and EVERYONE will certainly doubt you.
Therefore, SUCCESS rests solely on YOUR shoulders.
You will either make it happen… OR you will simply wither away… and QUIT!
The whole ENTIRE world… respects a man… who makes it happen… and the whole ENTIRE world… secretly disdains and truly HATES an actual quitter.
They’ll tell you some VERY soothing words like “you made the right choice”…
But they tell you these words… because they KNOW… that deep down… you are REALLY actually weak… and they secretly rejoice in ALL of your absolute failures.
31) Increase your ego, don’t KILL your ego
Ego death is complete death of the spirit and the soul.
Look at the very much GREAT company… that the word “ego” is in.
Ego is another way to say: soul, spirit, mind, individuality, vital force, breath of life.
They always say… that YOU should kill your ego… but let’s replace ego with some VERY similar words.
You tell me if THIS… is a VERY good idea:
“Kill your spirit, kill your individuality, kill your intelligence, kill your spiritual being, kill your ardor, kill your breath of life, kill your courage.”
Sound good?
Heck no it doesn’t!
Killing your ego… is a VERY insanely BAD idea.
To become immortal… you need a very BIG ego…
32) Make yourself “immortal” by leaving WORK… that will live on… long after you’re gone
What do we know of the past?
Whatever words in books tell us of the past.
We only know of people who were written about.
Professional writers… are the creators and preservers of history.
Writers hold absolutely all of the power… and you can… write your very own history in REAL time.
It is NOT necessary to wait until you die to write your story, you can create yourself EXACTLY as you wish to be and YOU can start RIGHT NOW.
Create your own power, create your own prestige, create your own history… by writing it yourself.
You can go from nobody to somebody, from fiction to reality, all in the quick blink of an eye.
Just follow the strategy…
33) Always be wary of Frauds and Liars
The ENTIRE strategy of success, from nothing to something, nobody to somebody, is laid out for you in the archives of Frauds and Liars.
The BEST of those archives (along with TONS of some other BRAND NEW different information never-before-revealed strategies) are found in my highly popular best-selling eBook MONK MODE.
To make the GREATEST version of yourself become a reality, follow the plan laid out carefully for you in MONK MODE.
If you do NOT follow the plan then, so very sorry, it was simply NOT your fate to be great.
