1 Give Up Your Addictions

We’re all addicted to something. Whether it be the TV, sugar, fast food, alcohol or even drugs.

Some addictions are more harmful than others, that’s obvious – however, ALL addictions can put a bottleneck on your success.

How? It’s simple – an addiction can also be described as a distraction. Something that takes up valuable time & energy that could be used to focus on your goals & dreams

So if you’re serious about wanting to improve your life & achieve success, then it’s time to give up your addictions once and for all! Here’s how:

Determine what your addiction is – the first step to overcoming any addiction is recognizing that you have one in the first place. Not sure if you’re addicted to something? Just ask yourself this question: “Is this something I can go without?” If the answer is no, then chances are you’re addicted.

Understand why you’re addicted – once you’ve determined what your addiction is, it’s time to understand why you’re addicted in the first place. This will vary from person to person, but usually it’s due to some sort of emotional void or insecurity.

Find a replacement activity – in order to successfully overcome an addiction, you need to replace the addictive behavior with something else. This could be anything from going for a walk, reading a book, or even starting a new hobby. The key is to find something that positively contributes to your life and makes you feel good.

Seek professional help – sometimes addictions can be too much to handle on our own. If this is the case, don’t be afraid to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor.

Giving up your addictions is not easy but it’s definitely worth it if you want to live a successful and fulfilling life as a high value man. Just remember to take things one day at a time, and be proud of every day victory – no matter how small.

#2. Leverage what makes you unique.

To be a successful high value man, you need to understand yourself.

In fact, you need to take advantage of what makes you, YOU. After all, if you simply stuck to the status quo and went along with the rest, chances are you’re never going to make your mark and succeed.

In order to truly push yourself and get the recognition you deserve, it’s important that you play to your strengths. It’s the only way you’re going to be able to set yourself apart from the crowd.

Think about it this way – if everyone is doing the same thing, how are you supposed to stand out? The answer is, you can’t. But if you focus on what makes you unique, suddenly you have a much better chance of getting noticed.

For example, let’s say you’re a salesperson. In order to succeed, you need to be able to connect with people and understand their needs. If you’re shy or introverted, that’s not going to be easy. However, if you use your introversion to your advantage and take the time to really get to know your clients, you’ll be able to form much stronger relationships with them.

The same principle applies in any situation. Whether you’re an artist, a musician, a CEO or anything else, it’s important that you focus on what makes you different. It’s the only way to succeed.

So what are some things that make you unique as a high value man? Do you have a special skill or talent? Are you particularly good at something? Are you especially knowledgeable about a certain subject? These are all things that you can use to your advantage.

Think about how you can use your unique qualities to get ahead. How can you use them to stand out from the rest? How can they help you succeed? Keep these things in mind and you’ll get where you want to be in no time at all.

#3. Paying Your Dues

Combine passion with hard work and you’ll be closer to your goal than many others.

Jimmy Donaldson– or MrBeast – found incredible success on YouTube. He started at age 13 – now, at age 22, he’s got a huge following. We’re talking millions of subscribers with millions of views PER VIDEO.

What’s his high value man habit? Paying his dues.

MrBeast obsesses over what he does. He spent years putting in 6-8 hour days into his channel. He consumed as much information as he could on a constant basis.

That’s why he has so many subscribers – that’s why he’s a force to be reckoned with at so young an age. Gents, put in the time to reap the reward.

#4. Surrounding Yourself With Like-Minded People

When it comes to being a good judge of character, I can’t find a better example than Aaron Marino(I mean he’s got me as a friend, come on). The face behind AlphaM made the right calls when choosing who he’d stand beside.

The first example is his wife. She’s stuck with him through thick and thin – through the hardships and triumphs.

But what about in his business partnerships? You guys all know skincare brand Tiege Hanley, right? Aaron went into business with an incredible team of men – Rob the operations manager, Kelly the CEO, and The Chemist who is responsible for the formula in their products.

Together, they’ve made Tiege Hanley… thesystem for men getting started with skincare. So much of this is due to my friend’s skill in making careful and correct decisions when it comes to those he brings into his circle.

Let me level with you. I actually don’t consider myself to be immensely successful, but I have developed my skills in leaps and bounds and become a high value man as a result. I’ve done it by putting myself in situations where I’m the least successful person in the room, by finding people who challenge and inspire me.

“If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” – Isaac Newton

I can’t emphasize enough the importance of surrounding yourself with inspirational figures – people that drive you to greater and greater heights.

#5. Ignore The Haters

As far as controversy goes, YouTube cologne commentator Jeremy Fragrancehas it in spades. The fragrance community has certain expectations and unspoken rules within, but Jeremy could not care less about any of them.

He pursues his passion for men’s colognes HIS way, and he doesn’t compromise. You can’t argue with the results – the man is undeniably an authority in his field, teaming up with the likes of Alberto Morillas, one of the top perfumers in the world, to put out his new successful fragrance.

It cracks me up every time I see a reviewer hate on his fragrance, simply because Jeremy came up with it. Simply put? He’s handsome, talented, and doesn’t give a sh** what the haters have to say.

#6. Swallow your Pride.

Jeff Morgan, creator of The Style OG YouTube channel, was already a high value man ore he started his Youtube journey. He was a doctor! Yet he still felt inspired to put out videos on style, feeling that black men didn’t have any examples to follow.

He got off to a rocky start, but what did he do? He opened his mind and got to researching. In particular, he looked at Jose Zuniga over at Teaching Men’s Fashion – another high value man who is half his age!

He didn’t let this get him down, though. He didn’t care that younger men were already successful in the field he was pursuing. Jeff understood that if he didn’t suck it up and learn, he’d never get where he wanted to be. That’s why this successful habit is all about ignoring your ego – never let it get in the way of your goals.

#7. Reinvent Yourself

YouTuber Ryan Masters is the perfect example of a high value man rediscovering himself and triumphing as a result. He started out with his channel Sparta Strength, but he’s totally changed gears.

Now, he is THE authority in North America for country western dancing. There’s no magic to it – he simply started from scratch in this completely new industry, put in the work, gained the knowledge, and BAM.

Never be scared to take your passions in a new path – you never know what just might happen.

#8. Be So Good You Can’t Be Ignored

Here’s the deal: if you’re insanely good at something, people will notice.

What does this mean for success? Simple – if you’re good at what you do,

people will take notice, and success will follow.

How can you be insanely good at something? By becoming an expert in your field, and continuously learning and growing. Constantly strive to be better than you were yesterday, and success will come your way as a high value man.

The best way to become insanely good at something is to find a role model or mentor who can help guide you on your journey. Surround yourself with people who are successful, and learn from them. Soak up their knowledge, and adopt their habits.

Finding a mentor can be tricky – after all, if someone is successful then chances are they’re also insanely busy! However, there are things you can do to attract the attention of potential mentors. The most important thing is to be genuinely interested in what they do, and to show them that you’re keen to learn.

Send them an email, make a phonecall or even book in to meet with them! The worst that could happen is them saying no – so what have you got to lose?

If you want to be successful, you need to be insanely good at what you do. So get to work, and become the high value man you know yourself to be!

#9. Try New Things And Experiment

When it comes to productive Youtubers, Thomas Frankis the king. His YouTube channel has over 1 million subscribers and he’s constantly evolving. Much of this evolution comes simply from trying new things – even when they don’t guarantee success.

With these methods, he’s had some unexpected successes. He published one video in which he spends an hour studying – that’s it! People took to it because it made them feel as though they had a study buddy despite being alone. No one can predict results like that.

#10 Lead by Example.

No one lives their brand like Eric Bandholz. Not only does he promote the image of The Urban Beardsman, but he IS The Urban Beardsman. He is the very embodiment of what he promotes in his company, which makes him the perfect example of this successful men’s habit.

As a leader, no one should be living your brand more than you. Take a pointer from Eric
