Becoming AWESOME at getting things done - Ideal Scenes and How To Become Alpha.

Hi everyone,

Lesson 2 of my way to give as much value as I can to this group! :)

---

When people think of Alpha males and females, what comes to mind?

Being Alpha has nothing to do with being a brute, or physically imposing, or demanding.

Nothing.

Those are the EFFECTS of being Alpha, not the CAUSE of it.

An Alpha Male has an Ideal Scene – a specific way he wants things to look – which he is firmly committed to, and he is willing to take responsibility to supply the mental effort, thought and action necessary to morph reality into his Ideal Scene.

You know how every self-help book under the sun talks about ‘goal-setting’ and ‘defining what you want’?

This is why. They get most of the way to the core truth, which is that you need to know what to aim for.

But we want the REAL reason why!

The real reason why is that having a strong Ideal Scene allows the Alpha to notice what is different in his current reality, and then begin to supply the thought and action necessary to begin to change it.

The Ideal Scene has to be STRONG and CLEAR. Enough to be firmly committed to, and to notice when it is not yet real.

So the first step – and our first task…

is to learn HOW to STRENGTHEN INTENTION.

What we need to understand is that being Alpha is on a gradient scale.

Remember how we just said that the Alpha has an Ideal Scene, and a willingness to take responsibility to supply the action necessary to morph reality into that Ideal Scene?

Well, that’s on a scale. The Ideal Scene that you have is your area of control. If you have an Ideal Scene about how you want your desk to look, and you are willing to be responsible for it, that is your area of control.

Do the following:

Look at an object in front of you. It may be small like your phone or wallet or keys.

Now, in your mind, flash up a mental image of how it could be better. For example, is your phone angled a little to the left and could it look better if it was straight? Is the screen a little dirty, and in that little image you flashed up of how you want it to be better, could the screen be cleaner?

Whatever it is, take two seconds and move the object or change it to how you wanted it to look.

Done?

At that moment, you were at the top of the Alpha scale…in that area of control. You had an Ideal Scene, and you took responsibility to make it happen.

Here’s the key….

The larger the area of control, the higher you rate on the Alpha scale.

Now, why did I have you flash up the mental picture? That’s what it means to have an intention and an Ideal Scene. You see EXACTLY how you want reality to look in your area of control.

The most common mistake when people talk about this whole area of ‘goals’ and ‘visualizing’ etc is that they miss out the part about the ideal scene being connected to your area of control – your reality, where you can be responsible for taking action.

Lofty goals are good, but they have no connection to an area of control, and so you have a low-to-non existent level of control….

And you so rate LOWER on the Alpha scale!

So, as you may have guessed, there is a real, workable way to systematically become more Alpha by increasing the area of control on a Gradient Scale. You become more Alpha AS YOU LEARN THE SCALE!

I'll post up some more info if people want it, but PLEASE PLEASE reply here and/or sign up to my email interest list below.​

If people want this, though, I would like to know. It takes a lot of work to set up to teach the scale.

I only give solid, workable content, but I’ll only invest the time if enough people tell me they want it :)

Share the love!

Will
