In 2022, having a large, varied, and loyal social circle has become a prerequisite for most men trying to find success in life.

 

We’re going through very unpredictable and unstable times…

Geopolitical and socioeconomic realities we’ve been used to taking for granted are being rewritten as we speak.

For the first time in modern history, people are starting to realize the inherent fallacies and limits of the traditional success code.

You know the whole ‘work harder than anyone else, mind your own business, find a safe, stable career and relationship and hold onto them for dear life’ type of narrative.

Crises such as the 2020 lockdowns and the subsequent economic collapses & recession have resulted in hundreds of thousands of people globally experiencing massive hits to their career and seductive lives, with years of individual efforts nullified overnight.

 

But while many have suffered in silence from this, others have united and joined forces to not only survive chaos but to also leverage it and thrive both financially and sexually during these challenging last two years beyond what they ever thought possible.

Like our student C:

Truth is having the right groups of people around you can mean the difference between a fragile life of scarcity and one of constant abundance and effortless results.

It’s not really about what you know anymore…

…It’s about who you know and whether they care enough about you to help you succeed.

But making new friends and penetrating high-value social circles to start epic collaborations with others has become increasingly more difficult.

For starters, people have become more prone to self-isolation. Recent habits like working remotely from home and interacting with others only via Zoom have rendered our daily lives devoid of occasions to socialize, making it normal for some guys to go days without talking to someone face to face.

As you can imagine, this atrophies your social skills massively and makes it harder for you to connect with others when you need to.

 

On the other hand, many social circles have shrunk and closed to strangers because of mass-paranoias and irrational fears induced by events like the pandemic.

The best way to overcome this is using what I refer to as the ‘Gatekeeper Strategy’.

 

It ultimately requires you to identify one key person within a social scene you want to be part of, initiate a contact, befriend him, and then have him invite you into the group as an elite guest. The trick is, knowing which person has a “gatekeeper personality” and how best to befriend them.

This is a proven method that works like a charm to infiltrate high-end baller social scenes but also small groups of friends you want to hang out with or collaborate on social projects. Plus, it’s very effective even in our socially-disrupted times because all you need is one contact and not having to work your way through the entire group like in the past.

I cover this and many other advanced social circle, dating, wealth creation, and sexuality strategies in my upcoming Lifestyle Design Academy launching on April 9th, 2022.

LDA is an 8-month mentorship program including weekly live webinars with me where I teach you everything I’ve learned in over twenty years on how to build a masterpiece life, Q&A panels, as well as masterclasses where I invite my own elite mentors to coach you.

Plus, when you join you also get instant access to our global secret lifestyle design network consisting of hundreds of other men on their path to mastery.

We have dozens of success stories of guys making new loyal friends on the program, meeting in person to create growth houses, social and business collabs, and traveling the world together on epic seductive adventures.

It is not that we have so little time but that we lose so much…The life we receive is not short but we make it so; we are not ill-provided but use what we have wastefully.

– The Greek philosopher Seneca

But truth is that as much in the Golden Age as now, men have a common tendency to let the years go by without actively breaking out of homeostasis and pursuing their wildest dreams.

It’s a sad realization, and it’s even sadder to discover that the time you wasted will not come back. You cannot rewind the tape as if you missed the turning points of an epic movie.

And while this is generally true for every part of men’s lives, it is especially relevant for those going through their ‘building years’, aka their twenties and thirties.

After helping thousands of men to build their dream lifestyles for nearly 17 years, James has noticed that personal, social, and sexual improvement is way faster for younger guys.

That’s because the further you get in life, the more obligations and responsibilities will arise––the less time you’ll have to work on yourself.

James knows all the above way too well: he is 42 himself 😉

So if you’re a young dude reading this and want to get off your a$$ and smash your wildest life goals in the next decade or so, James highly recommends you watch the video linked below. James and Shae dive deep into key lessons and life-changing tips to make the most out of your most productive years:

P.S. Want to get personally mentored by me to maximize your social, seductive, and career success in a matter of months and access a secret network of men dedicated to engineering masterpiece lives?

If the answer is ‘yes’, then be on the lookout for the upcoming relaunch of my elite Lifestyle Design Academy on April 9th.

Inside the LDA, you get access to 8 intensive weeks of long live coaching sessions, assignments, and accountability systems. Then, after you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll receive six more months of follow-up advanced mentoring by me and an international faculty of specialists on social dynamics, sexuality, health optimization, business, and a lot more.

We’ve had all kinds of people finding epic success with this program, from 20-year olds who had to start from scratch to more experienced guys with very elite ambitions.

Hope to see you in when the doors open.

It’s a fact: being a Man in today’s society is a pretty tough job.

Despite all the illusions of freedom, opportunity, and abundance, many guys still lead very one-dimensional, severely limited, and socially-scarce lives.

And most of these issues can be reconducted to one common cause: loneliness

Countless men out there, even if they don’t publicly admit it, are living in a chronic state of isolation, with no one to call or ask for help if they ever need it.

Social circles are shrinking.

In fact, recent studies conducted on the US population have shown that nearly one in five men completely lack close friendships, and only a tiny 12% of the male population can say of having more than six friends in their life.

This is bad news, especially when you consider that it’s nearly impossible to succeed at anything significant in this world without other people backing you up.

Take dating…

Approaching and seducing beautiful women will easily turn into an excruciating, annoying task the moment it becomes your only way to meet women at all. Paradoxically, having many female friends will improve your game as much, if not more, than learning how to cold-approach.

Running a business will drain every ounce of energy and happiness you have…

…If you have to do it all by yourself without any close collaborators while working from your laptop and spending most of your day without talking to a living soul.

I think it’s pretty clear by now: to live an epic life, you need epic people around you.

But I’m not just talking about coworkers and old buddies from school you can grab beers with on a Friday night.

I mean real trusted friends and collaborators.

People who got your back in the darkest of times and who will help you achieve your wildest dreams.

If you currently lack such friends in your life and don’t know where to find them, I strongly encourage you to watch my latest video.

In it, I detailed a comprehensive plan to grow your social circle and build a kickass tribe around you that will rapidly 10x your life. Click on the link below to watch it:
