Ok, so this post is only peripherally related to the overall theme of sexual strategy here, but I feel it's worth stating because it's valuable advice.

Don't worry, I'm not going to plug in any products, websites, services, or other shit here. Do your own research and do what feels right to you. Part of the collective goal here is to encourage people to improve. That's a philosophy that's deeply embedded in 'monk mode' and transitioning to the red pill in general.

What I'm going to say from this point will be controversial, but I think it's worth stating:

I was listening to a radio interview a little while ago and a guy made a statement that I really thought was interesting. He said, "If you're going to work and relying on a paycheck to feed your whole family, the guy signing that paycheck is essentially providing for your family. He's the man of the house."

Some people will disagree with that statement, and there are probably good arguments on why this isn't true on a technical level. However, fundamentally speaking? I think he's right.

I quit working about a year ago and it was the best decision I ever made. It seems like a cliche in today's society to 'be your own boss', but it's a liberating feeling. No one's telling you as a grown man how to dress, where to go, when to wake up, when you can eat lunch or go to the bathroom, and when you're allowed to take off to handle personal problems. In my opinion, if you really want to be an alpha in the TRUEST sense, you can't be taking orders from another human being for 40+ hours a week.

Also, being your own boss essentially requires you to independently manifest your own reality. The money you make is a product of YOUR own doing. You didn't get hired to perform assigned tasks and get paid in response. You went out, found the clientele, inked the deal, and got paid on your own accord. You set up your own structure and made it happen. No one can 'fire' you or otherwise.

From a female's perspective, that's invariably sexy. There's an allure to being the 'boss'. You're really a lone wolf out here hunting down their own food instead being a loyal cub and given a slice of the food that your leader brings in. No human being has been designated 'boss' over you. YOU are the boss.

It changes your mentality too. At least it changed mine. I don't look at the world through the lens of what I'm 'allowed to do'. I do what I want. Truly. Seven days of the week. I live and die by own decisions and work ethic. You can go to a job and half-ass it and you'll still get the same paycheck (assuming no commission). But as an entrepreneur? You half ass it and you don't eat that month.

I've already heard all the cons. It isn't a 'stable' paycheck. Sure, that's true. But how stable is a job? Remember when 2009 happened? Remember seeing the seas of people leaving their offices with nothing but a box full of the shit on their desk? That was their reward for 10+ years of employment. You're fired. That's it. Goodbye, no more employment.

As a business owner, no one can 'fire' you. Sure, you might fail, but that's just a reality of life. If you aren't willing to take risks or you'd prefer to have a safety net, how can you grow? I won't lie, there were times when it was really hard at first. I didn't join some stupid pyramid scheme or pay someone money to go to a conference or some corny shit like that. I took the money I had, created a website from the ground up, made my own business cards and got out on the ground and marketed to people. I got on social media and advertised to people manually. Yes, I was one of those annoying 'spammers', but it's what I had to do. For the first month or two, nothing came in. I was tempted to say 'fuck this' and just look for a job. But I didn't. I stuck with it and remained diligent day after day and eventually things started breaking through for me. I started getting clients and then using the money from those individuals to elevate my business and expand my reach, which resulted in more clients.

After a certain point, I had enough cash to more than sustain myself and create the lifestyle I wanted without compromising the funds needed to maintain my business. I blocked out social media and the bullshit and focused. I didn't let my failures discourage me and I kept at it. I'm not rich by any means and I damn sure ain't 'there', but I'm happy. I can work on my own time. If I need to get my car fixed or schedule a doctor's appointment or attend to an emergency, I don't need to call someone to ask for 'permission' to do so. I just do it. I'm responsible for making money, managing it, and ensuring that I keep a roof over my head and all my over amenities.

As a result, I believe it's made me much more alpha and resilient to the bullshit in life. I know I have the ability to take care of myself. I don't need some guy in a suit to tell me what to do and promise me money every two weeks.

Like I said in the beginning, this isn't for everyone, but it's worthy of consideration. Jobs are just middle men. You're getting a paid a percentage of what your job is actually valued. For example, if you're a computer programmer and your salary is $120k/year, that's great but the guy writing that check is more than likely making $200k+/year or more. If they were losing money paying you, you wouldn't have been hired or they wouldn't be paying you at that rate. So, yes, your salary or paycheck may be nice but you have to consider the fact that whatever you're doing is worth more than what you're getting paid.

You don't have to start Microsoft tomorrow. It can be something small. If you're a computer programmer, set up a website and a professional portfolio that people can reference and start reaching out and contacting places. Let them know your skills and experience and ask if there are any contracting opportunities. It might be a little bit before you get a hit, but when you do, you'll get paid. Companies love contracting because you don't have to pay payroll tax on contractors (1040).

I'm rambling at this point, so I'll just stop here:

TL;DR - Being Alpha in the TRUEST sense = being your own boss.
