God saw you were getting tired,

And a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around you

And whispered, Come To Me.

With tearful eyes we watched you,

And saw you pass away.

Although we loved you dearly,

We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,

Hard working hands at rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us,

He only takes the best.

In loving memory of and dedication to those Ive lost.

INTRODUCTION

Throughout the entirety of this book, you are going to be undoubtedly hearing the term alpha. So what does it mean?

Alpha is, in blatant terminology, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of one.

But that isnt the definition were going to be following. Im fairly certain most of us have heard of the alpha male , correct?

If you havent, an alpha male is simply defined as a male animal having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy or, the most dominant, powerful or assertive man in a particular group .

In other words, an alpha is a leader.

Now people throw around and hear of the term alpha male quite a lot, but why does it only apply to the male? Can women be the alpha, the leader as well?

You bet they can! Thats why Im not going to be talking about alpha males; Im going to be talking about alphas in general.

It isnt only the male that can live the dominant, fruitful and triumphant lives, so Im going to be addressing all as one. We are equal beings with equal potential.

Allow me to correct our new-found definition. An alpha is the being having the highest rank in a dominance hierarchy; the most dominant, powerful and assertive individual in a particular group.

Regardless of previous experiences, habits or results, you too can become the alpha and live the life youve always dreamed of living. You can have the things you want to have and do the things you want to do, whatever and whenever you please.

You are the pilot of your own mind, so only you know what you want and can determine what you need to do to get it. Only you know what youre capable of, so dont let anyone define who you are or what you can be.

Youre closer to yourself than anybody else.

The Five Main Traits Of All Alphas

By now you know what an alpha is and understand your realistic capability of becoming one, regardless of your upbringing. Now its time to discuss what being an alpha truly means.

By constructing a framework and sticking to it, you too can become an alpha; that is the first step. Showing up. If you do not show up you cant begin anything. You may have more work to do than others and others may have more work to do than you.

Thats life. Its not where you start; that doesnt matter. What matters is where you end up after all is said and done.

Master the following traits to the best of your capability. They are the exact stepping stones to becoming an alpha. These stepping stones are going to force you to leave your personal bubble, your comfort zone and influence the breaking of old habits.

And bad habits are hard to break. It may take a week, month, year or more to start to see any glimpse of change. But, do not get discouraged. Just try to be better with every opportunity and remember that you are not a leader unless you lead by example.

So what does it really take to become the alpha, the leader that lives the dominant, fruitful and triumphant life?

The first trait all alphas possess is their power of habit. Habits, good or bad, they make a person.

Habits form as an instinctive human behavior to simplify our brains workload by eliminating the needs of making constant choices for constant activities or functions. For example, if it was required for our bodies to consciously decide every single detail from how to breathe to how to walk, we would all eventually go completely insane.

Habits can form after we intently practice a certain behavior for a period of time, but most habits develop without us noticing, yet within our control.

In the development of an alpha, they learn from the highly successful individuals that they model their lives after the ones they look up to and replicate what they do, say, think and how they act, perceive and perform.

The second trait all alphas possess is their established presence and ability to be fully checked into the present moment. Alphas do not go out of their way to make their presence known, people just seemingly know when an alpha is present. When you look at the beta and how they carry themselves, you know their presence probably isnt valued.

But as soon as an alpha walks through the door and everybody turns their heads and directs their attention towards them, you know in the moment that they are the real deal by the way they hold themselves higher than life itself. Their body language, posture and vocals, their size in general establishes their presence and makes everyone around aware of it.
