..... (Especially if they were Alpha in another life?) Nope, I'm not talking about reincarnation! I'm talking pre-retirement...
Yep, I went to college like all the rest, got my Masters and ended up in a position of authority....if that’s what you call a High School Principal? There were times I felt very Alpha, especially dealing with those that saw things from a different point of view.
So, why is it now, that I feel almost "sub-Beta?"
I look back on my journey through my pre-retirement life and who helped me along the way...it's not like I was born with a sign on my back telling the world I was going to be a High School Principal! (Who would ever wish that on anybody?) Well, I could name several individuals that mentored me along the way and their "Alphaness" certainly rubbed off on me and inspired me to take on the challenges of secondary education.
But now, it's time to move on and create NEW "Alphaness" as I transition into retirement. So what do I do now? I've applied for some positions that I hoped would make me feel Alpha again, but I'm competing against youngsters that grew up formatting Excel spreadsheets in their sleep (and that's a requirement for the jobs that are out there these days).
So I’ve chosen to stay home and build my leadership skills creating my own Internet Marketing business, a business where Alpha traits are not only a requirement, but a prerequisite for being successful.
How does one feel "Alpha" again in Internet Marketing?
I dare say that I DO WHAT I DID BEFORE and search for those that have blazed the trails before me and learn as much as I can from them.
Who are your mentors? I found one of the BEST! You can listen in on one of her

Does one just "feel" Alpha or become Alpha and/or are they born that way?
I'm on a quest to answer just such questions. Join the discussion and journey with me!
They tell me it's just a mental block; that I will figure it out...it just takes time. Okay then, let the clock start ticking!
