Maslow's Method:
by, Rich.

In order to accomplish any desired outcome you must first set goals to achieve, only by achieving your goals can you gain an understanding of who you want your self to be. When you set goals you set your life in a direction, obtaining these goals gives your life purpose. A purpose can inspire not only your self but others around you, your purpose what ever it might be can help motivate your peers.

"Each of us is motivated by needs. Our most basic needs are inborn, having evolved over tens of thousands of years. Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of
Needs helps to explain how these needs motivate us all.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs states that we must satisfy each need in turn, starting with the first, which deals with the most obvious needs for survival itself.

Only when the lower order needs of physical and emotional well-being are satisfied are we concerned with the higher order needs of influence and personal development.

Conversely, if the things that satisfy our lower order needs are swept away, we are no longer concerned about the maintenance of our higher order needs.
Maslow's original Hierarchy of Needs model was developed between 1943-1954, and first widely published in Motivation and Personality in 1954. At this time the Hierarchy of Needs model comprised five needs. This original version remains for most people the definitive Hierarchy of Needs."

A famous quote of Charles Darwin is in his book title, "Survival of the fittest". Now this leads me into the discussion of Nature vs. Nurture, however I belive that Darwins "Survival of the fittest" is a combination of the two. George W. Bush President of the United States of America has a presidential heritage, meaning his father was President of the United States of America. Now, do you think if G.W.B was born into a family with a tradition that all the men in the family became Janitors, that he would still grow up to be President? With his fathers money and social connections he was able to achieve greatness. So, what does this mean for average people like you and I, nothing at all. If you are committed to achieve your goals, you will reach them more over supercede them, but you have to start somewhere.

"1. Biological and Physiological needs - air, food, drink, shelter, warmth, sex, sleep, etc.
2. Safety needs - protection from elements, security, order, law, limits, stability, etc.
3. Belongingness and Love needs - work group, family, affection, relationships, etc.
4. Esteem needs - self-esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility, etc.
5. Self-Actualization needs - realising personal potential, self-fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences."

This may only be a theorie, however think about it, all of these needs are the pices of a complex puzzle, if you take away a pice the puzzle will not be completed. But, like any puzzle if you do not know what the finished puzzle looks like, you will have no direction and as such will have great diffaculty assembling the pices. I don't want you to hold every word of this text deep like some hold the bible more of reference like the picture on the top of a puzzle box.

"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?"
~ Robert Browning

Know that the only way you can fail is by doing nothing. "I did not fail 1000 times. I successfully found 1000 ways that the light bulb would not work." ~ Thomas Edison. Everything that you succeed at moreover fail at is a learning experience. Only through inaction can you fail. The average Wealthy man could progress with the direction of taking on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs from one to five, no he may be able to accomplish this, however for a man of average means I know that each need is a piece of your puzzle and through experience I have come to understand that by starting with developing the characteristics of Self-Actualization you can in turn develop Maslow's remaining needs.


"Maslow's Self-Actualizing characteristics

Keen sense of reality - aware of real situations - objective judgement, rather than subjective

See problems in terms of challenges and situations requiring solutions, rather than see problems as personal complaints or excuses

Need for privacy and comfortable being alone

Reliant on own experiences and judgement - independent - not reliant on Culture and environment to form opinions and views

Not susceptible to social pressures - non-conformist

Democratic, fair and non-discriminating - embracing and enjoying all cultures,
races and individual styles

Socially compassionate - possessing humanity

Accepting others as they are and not trying to change people

Comfortable with oneself - despite any unconventional tendencies

A few close intimate friends rather than many surface relationships

Sense of humour directed at oneself or the human condition, rather than at the expense of others

Spontaneous and natural - true to oneself, rather than being how others want

Excited and interested in everything, even ordinary things

Creative, inventive and original"

Now, being a self made man myself, moreover a man of the seduction community, I have read many methods of self improvement. What all of these methods teach us is that you can become a better person through striving to reach Self-Actualization first and then allowing your new Frame to drip down into the other areas of your life. A Frame, is your perceptions of your own reality and by having a strong Frame others around you will be pulled into yours. Why would you want others to be pulled into your Frame? Simply put, you have control of your Frame and whatever is in it. So how do you change your' re Frame into the one that others will fall into moreover you have control of? You study, you set goals for your self to achieve moreover you reach them and set new ones. The only proven method of research is the Experimental Method. This means get out and practice what you read, let what you learn become who you are.

"Party season is here, but are you feeling intimidated by the hottie standing by herself at the bar? Being eaten up by anxiety and wondering whether you'll ever conquer your fear of approaching the fairer sex? Well we've got news for you sucker: today's the day you pull yourself together - with the help of real-life 'hitch'," ~ The Gambler.

Gambler, Mystery Method, David D, RJ, Juggler, Style, The Modern Man these are only a few of the people or methods that I have studied, all I can say is that I don't use one method I use them all and together they are the best life changing information on the market today. What made Bruce Lee a good fighter was not just that he was a really good fighter it's that he was well trained in many martial arts and the ability to switch from art to art was what made him great. Have fun, and I hope that you get all of the success that I know every man deserves.Not all methods of change will be congruent with who you are, that is the complete method. If you break down any method you find core values and ideals that you may find useful moreover congruent with your personality or Frame of mind.
