summary: Too many guys try to "turn into an alpha" and don't get very good results. Many successful men have said this is a terrible idea in the long run. That's why we advocate lifting and other ways that change "you", which in turn cascades into how you act, except it is 100% backed up by truth, not just an act. This post is some practical advice on how to "lift" for the rest of your life.

body: I like steps because it breaks ideas into practical repeatable units. The steps below are what I did to get to where I am, which is a few new girls a week, life of the party, comfortably wealthy, etc.

Step 1) Catalog what you got: Get a piece of paper and take a step back from your current problems. Write down all the things you can offer that have value -- any kind of value. Focus especially on things that can make you $.

Focus on all the things you can sell, all the things you can do, all the things that are impressive. Worst case you are an ugly, short, poor, homeless dude. You've still got a list of valuable traits: You've still got a body that can lift shit, you've still got a brain that can think. List those things and whatever else.

Step 2) Count some future dollars: figure out the thing in your values that can make you the most money if you monetize. Money is fuel for power. More money->more power->more friends->more bitches. Bitches aren't the point, but I know that's all you can think about right now so I'm putting it in perspective for you.

For example, my house has rooms that were sitting empty. It was a big pill to swallow, but I decided to start renting them because it would raise my monthly income considerably. Turns out this was a great decision not just monetarily. More on this coming.

Step 3) Quit contributing to other alphas' social circles: List out your different circles and figure out which ones you're the leader in. If you are leader in none, its time to start your own. How do you do this?

The first circle you're a leader of is easy to start; its yourself and you alone. Imagine in your mind that you are now king of the whole world, and the four corners of the world extend only to your body and your immediate vicinity. The rest of the world doesn't even exist. People can join this kingdom if they want to -- you will protect them but they must abide by your law. If some people pressure you to be a beta in their kingdom, you don't participate, you move away. Your kingdom is all that matters and other people can choose to be in it if they want to.

If you do this, at first you will be alone. This is a tough spot to be in, because being alone sucks. However, I have some hacks to get your kingdom jump started so you aren't alone for too long.

Step 4) Begin recruiting people into your empire: Being alone sucks, but it is better than being someone's bitch. You've got to be strong -- it might get depressing -- tough through. People will eventually start seeing the value in abiding by your rule, but it is most difficult in the beginning.

The best way to get it started is to invite everyone you meet to do something with you -- something you like. It can be anything. Sports, even videogames. The point is someone sees value in complying with your invitation. Your first recruits are probably going to be way beneath you. Be patient with them, they are important because they will provide emotional support for you while you grow your empire to the point it will provide value to people who you eventually want.

It may or may not be a good idea to let women into your circle at this time. If you are attractive it will be ok, but if you are not, the women will try to recruit you into orbiter status and are a waste of time.

Step 5) Create infrastructure for your growing empire: This is why $ is important. Being the source of the stuff that people in your growing empire depend on is what gives you power over them. If you don't like someone you can eject them without fear of repercussions by anyone if you have the power. Money is easy to convert into power because you can own things that people depend on -- a house that acts as a venue, the food and drink people have fun with, 420 etc etc. There are a million ways that people want expensive things and you can give them those things for their allegiance if you have money.

Never begin depending on something another person owns. If someone has something your followers desire, you must be able to acquire or replace that thing. Do not be tempted to be cheap. Power will make it easier to get more money, so do not be cheap when you have the opportunity to convert $ into power.

I mentioned renting my house was important in other ways. One thing I learned was how much power I have over my renters. They all have decided to join my empire because of how much power I have over them. Not to mention we have a lot of fun, get girls, and I raise them up in other ways. However, ultimately they understand their place and that I will evict them if they disobey me on important things.

Step 6) Test your followers and pick your favorites: as your empire grows to about 5-10 people you will now have the privilege of picking your right hand man. This is the guy you provide for and can trust. If you have considerable power and people are happy, you will see that they will naturally compete for your favor. Help them compete by putting two people against eachother. An example is to ask two people of ideas of things they can make to eat for the next party. Tell the one you liked least (not just the food, but who you favor the least) that you picked the other person's food. They will feel like shit, so you need to be extra nice for a while, but if you do it right they will be more motivated to do something for you next time.

Step 7) If you're incel, stop it any cost: Now that you have a decent empire, even if you're ugly women will start being interested because they are attracted to power. If you are incel, or close to incel, get on POF (the worst women are here, I'm pointing you there for this reason), and send every woman on the ultramatch a one line invitation. Something like this: "Hey gorgeous, I know this great place called waffle house. Grab a coffee with me later this week?"

Don't have the confidence to do that? Think it won't work? Try it. You would be surprised how many women are desperate and will say yes. If you can get over your pride and send shit like that to uggos you will 100% get over your incel and it will be worth it. I'm like a 7 on the looks scale, and I do this occassionally to get an ego boost. You will be amazed how many women will just say "yes where/when?"

Look, this way of doing it is not something to be proud of, but the king needs a queen. With this method, your first queen might be ugly but you will be able to trade up much easier from this position. Get your dick in pussies no matter what they look like. For the fishermen here, don't waste time trying to fish for the lunkers. Start with bluegills, pull in a whole bunch, and if you catch a 10 lb bass by accident then nice, consider it a good day and throw some of the chaff back in. Don't go home hungry.

Step 8) Continue to nurture and cull your empire: If you have 10 followers and a girlfriend you are now basic alpha status. Doesn't matter what they look like or how valuable they are, you are their leader and that means you are now a shitty alpha. You will be in a great position to improve yourself, invite new people in, and reject people you don't want. Grow as big as you can. Worst case is you will get back down to just yourself as your empire, which as you know, since you have already have been there, isn't a bad place to be really.

With this massive amount of abundance mentality you will foster with this way of networking, people of all types will be attracted magnetically to you. It will be impossible to ignore you because you have so much confidence. Talking to girls will become nothing special and the advanced material in TRP will start to make a lot of sense.

Good luck and PM me if you have any questions
