How to become a high value man by end of 2025. Before December comes, this thread will guide you to prepare yourself in identifying your values, prioritising them in a hierarchical structure, orient yourself on a path of least resistance and start making sacrifices to obtain them, transforming you into a man of value. Write down your values. For a man, your apex value should be abundance. You must attain it, or at least be on a path that will lead to its attainment. If you are too distracted in your pursuit of women and indulgences, stop reading here. What does it mean to attain your apex value on a path of least resistance? It means you will orient yourself in a strategic manner that will lessen as many obstacles in your way of attaining your value. Your choices & time allocation will be devoted to this value. This means to count your moves. To make moves in the form of sacrifices, strictly related to your apex value. Moves that negotiate with the future and force your apex value to come to you. Count each one, & stay on the path. You will achieve abundance in two ways; 1. Leverage Competence 2. Begin your own start up To leverage competence, you will first need to take stock of your current job description, pinpoint what you’re expected to do & what you get paid for. Then, you will seek to deliver your job description at an exceptional level. You will leave no room for negligence or incompetence. You will not worry about recognition, and aim to perfect what you are required to do. When ready, you will leverage your perfection, to uptake more responsibility authority, not money. You will negotiate that you currently do ABC for X amount, but you are willing to do ABCDE for 2 months, and if you deliver, you will rightfully request positional ascendency. When you become exceptional in your line of work, you create specific-knowledge-like asymmetry. Any asymmetry you create in your favour, can be leveraged. Exchange the value you generate easily, for the value you want. When I worked as a pharmacist, I dispensed at 30 seconds per medication, when others took 10min. I leveraged this to reduce staff, then leveraged to implement systems for cost efficiency, which made me a manager, & leveraged for corporate. Study the scenario, find the leverage. While you exercise this, you will record, print weekly reports of every sale, every profit, every satisfied customer under your name and construct an impeccable CV. So when the bosses don’t play nice, you can leverage this as a threat. If you are successful in your promotion, repeat the process. Find leverage in your new found responsibilities. You are not pursuing more money. You are pursuing more responsibility and authority. Money will come after. Leverage competence for positional power. Your competence in your job should be part of the system. You do not want your competence to self-automate in your absence. You want to become so good at what you do, that the business falls apart without you. Generate reliance to cement your leverage. Avoid redundancy. Option 2 is start up. If you want to start your own business, in my opinion it is a brutal path to take. Have a stable job before taking the risk in going for a startup. You must maintain a stable income stream for this option. You are not an entrepreneur if you are not making weekly progress. If you want to start your own business, you must have a clear deadline for weekly action & progress. Investors check progress, worth ethic & personality before investing. Your journey to abundance will kill off so many undesirable parts of you, that you will inevitably transform who you are. You’ll be forced to become strategic, think ahead, be cunning and ambitious. A force to contend with. If you don’t become disagreeable in your quest for abundance, you are not devoting enough time for your apex value: -you come first -competitive -less social -assertive -insubordinate -value driven -time conscious unconcerned for anything petty & frivolous. These qualities developed as a side effect in your path to abundance, are the traits that make you attractive. Combine this with your capacity to provide, your accountability & competence, it makes you a high value man. Your aim before December 1. Acknowledge apex value as abundance 2. Pinpoint the position you are seeking. 3. Pinpoint your path towards it 4. Pinpoint your job description 4. Write down how to excel in it 5. Plan on how you’ll leverage it once excelled By 2024, you should have improved your current position and developed, -Responsibility -Confidence -Authority -Credibility -Leadership -Disagreeableness Don’t stop. You’re set to dominate 2024. The lesson in this article is to understand leverage. When you become exceptionally competent in one domain, you can leverage it on the dominance hierarchy and ultimately increase your value. This lesson can be applied to many contexts.

The crowd admires confidence, but what it really rewards is successful illusion. People want masks that reassure them, flatter them, or fit the role they hoped you would play. This is why truth-tellers often feel socially expensive. They break the scene. They force others to confront motives, compromises, and dependencies that were functioning perfectly well under the softer lie.

A lot of social success comes from understanding that not everyone close to you is close for the same reason. Some are there for affection. Some for access. Some for education. Some for status transfer. Some for timing. Few are a man’s true friends. Many are merely friends of his circumstances.

There are men who oppose you because they are emotional, and men who oppose you because they are practical. The first wants a reaction. The second wants your position. One can be neutralized by indifference. The other requires competence, vigilance, and the ability to think two steps ahead.

A lot of men talk like philosophers and move like beggars. They speak on discipline, purpose, standards, and honor, but one attractive woman, one disrespectful superior, or one cheap opportunity is enough to reroute their behavior. Your real beliefs are not in your words. They are in what still controls you.

If you decide to move up a hierarchy in any social or organizational business setting, you will face people who will present as obstacles. You will encounter them as ordinary people when in reality, they are nothing but enemies waiting to witness your demise.

Character Of a Man is Tested by a Woman Most men lack character around women. Because most men rather throw you under, just to impress a woman with their alpha status.

"No tree can reach heaven without its roots reaching down to hell". The greatest, most integrated men, are who they are, because they have managed to keep their darkest secrets in the shadows.

Pick one domain of competence that society values & sacrifice everything to become sublime exceptional at it. Then leverage it to impose your will. Then watch your influence grow & your presence become a force.

Don't waste your time trying to be a entrepreneur, when you are born to be a outstanding manager. Don't try to manage, when you are a creator. You have one chance to spend your youth & energy to capitalise on your natural traits. Understand yourself. Then act accordingly.

Every time you claim how useful your ego is, there’s a psychopath out there far more motivated and selfish than you, with the capacity to completely submerge their ego in pursuit of their target. And that is why they win. And you don’t.

If you are easy to provoke, people will eventually use emotion as a steering wheel. The fix is simple but hard: delay your visible reaction. Even ten seconds helps. Breathe. Ask one question. Make them explain. A lot of manipulation collapses when the other person realizes you will not donate instant emotion to their strategy.

Build enough skill that you can save yourself in major matters. That does not mean doing everything alone. It means expanding your range until you are not dependent on others for every important decision. Leave petty details to others if needed, but train yourself to be dangerous in the issues that actually shape your life.

If a goal makes you anxious, break it down until today knows exactly what to do. A five-year ambition is useless if this afternoon still feels vague. Build a descending ladder: the big objective, the next milestone, the weekly target, the move you can finish before sleep.

The next time you ask for help, remove your need from the center of the request. Do not tell people why this matters to you. Tell them exactly where it serves their interest, saves their time, protects their position, or increases their gain. People do not move because your reasons feel sincere. They move when the deal becomes visible from their side.

The world respects the man who can remain useful without becoming eager. Neediness lowers price. The desperate man signals that he will accept bad terms, poor treatment, and delayed dignity just to stay included.

Envy does not usually come from your enemies. It comes from people close enough to compare, but not strong enough to create. That is why your progress bothers the friend from your old life more than the stranger online. Proximity makes comparison unbearable for weak men. Distance makes admiration easier.

The scariest thing about people is how rarely they know why they do what they do. They call it loyalty when it is fear. They call it love when it is hunger. They call it morality when it is weakness. If you want power over your life, stop trusting explanations and start studying patterns. People reveal more through repetition than confession.

You should treat praise like wine. A little warms the blood, too much makes the mind stupid. Drinking admiration without caution makes you perform for the applause.

The brutal thing about growth is that you do not only upgrade your life. You expose the people who were uncomfortable with your growth. Some will mock you. Some will moralize your ambition. Some will act concerned when you become harder to influence.

You should watch what you become proud of tolerating. Bad sleep, poor health, constant stress, fake friends, dead work, emotional chaos, weak habits. Some men do not escape hell because they learned to decorate it.
