IT'S ABOUT PERFORMANCE - NOT YOUR BULLSHIT

Introducing "Improve Your Position" by Michael Alexander, a no-nonsense guide that will change the way you perceive your struggles and triumphs.

"Improve Your Position" isn’t just a book; it’s a wake-up call to all of us who have ever felt victim to our own narratives. Does that sound like you?


"No one really cares about what you’ve been through."


This bold statement sets the stage for a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Alexander doesn't just dwell on the problem; he delves into the psychology of our addictions to trauma and sympathy, comparing them to the vices that keep bars full and drive-thrus busy at 3 AM.

  • Convert your potential into performance. 

  • Stop seeking validation in past pains. 

  • Rise above the noise of societal sympathy. 

  • Free yourself from the chains of unhelpful addictions, be they substances or stories.

Whether you're overcoming a toxic relationship, unhealthy habits, or your own limiting beliefs, this book is your roadmap to a better, more focused you.
