The #1 Mistake Men Make

Episode #77 There are 5 territories of your life that when prioritized correctly will lead to success in everything you do. The 5 territories include self, health, wealth and relationships and business. The number one mistake men make is prioritizing business as our foundational territory. This is common as we are taught that as men we should provide for our family. We hustle to make money in order to provide but we often forget that we should also provide emotionally. While we are so focused on our first priority - business - we seldom make time for our loved ones because often times we have no energy left. We also forget to take care of ourselves, our health is often taken for granted because we fail to turn off from the hustle that we give our business. In this episode, we dive deep into society's definition of how to be a man and what it looks like to create our OWN identity by investing in things that could improve our self, our health, and our relationships. What you will learn in this episode: Making ourselves the top priority Creating your own identity Identifying what really matters to you Turn off from all the hustle and make time and invest in the things that could improve yourself and your relationships ————- Hungry for more?

What Does It Take To Become A Powerful Man

Episode #76 In order to become a powerful man, you should understand where you are in order to navigate your way through. If not, it will be difficult for you to move, leaving you stuck in the darkness. When you begin t recognize that you are experiencing the 5 agonies, you then become able to shift it into the 5 freedoms. As men, we are constantly sold on this idea of "power" in the form of external power. But the truth is, both external and internal power and strength are important. It takes courage to break the chain of society and take a stand for what really matters to you. The courage and vulnerability to be able to accept what situation you are in and transform your greatest pain into your greatest power. We tend to believe that to be a man we have to earn money, but while doing what we are told to do we are not achieving our dreams but somebody else's dream. We feel empty in spite of the achievements and approvals we get from society because we know within us that these are just false success and these don't really matter to us. Reconnect to your instinct, break the chains of the society, stand firm to what is really important to you and allow it to flow through you. This will show in your energy, peace, clarity, and power. What you will learn in this episode: How to break the chains of society The importance of standing firm in what you believe How to become a powerful man without sacrificing your dreams and happiness How to transform your greatest pain into the greatest power How to recognize and accept what situation we are into in order for us to navigate our path ————- Hungry for more?

You're Not Broken

Episode #74 Something common we experience is men who view themselves as winners and have resistance around joining a personal or businesses development program because they believe that those who attend the program are men who are broken. Does this belief resonate with you? These men believe that they must be surrounded only by winners or champions like themselves. What they are not aware of is the fact that these men who dive into these programs are elite businessmen with high-level performances.  These men want to learn a new skillset for themselves and to uplevel their game...and not because they are broken. These men go through the program because they desire to learn how to effectively communicate with their loved ones, to build a deeper and more intimate connection, navigate the emotions they are experiencing and express every part of themselves in the world opposite of what the society has instilled to us. We were taught by society not to cry, not to be happy and we are also told not to be angry because we might hurt people. We get to strip away what we have been told and show the REAL us because IT IS NOT US WHO IS BROKEN...BUT THE SYSTEM. We all go through hard times, we may be lacking or we may not be good enough in some aspects but that doesn't define who we are as a person. You should love yourself, acknowledge and accept your flaws and do the work to improve yourself every day. Raise your standards and level up your game. What you will learn in this episode: The misconception about men who go through personal/business development What we get by joining personal/business development programs The importance of showing your real emotions and the real you Why successful business owners still go through personal /business development programs ------------- Hungry for more?

Episode #71 Do we really have a nearly unlimited personal power? Imagine you won the lottery. How would you be feeling?

In unlocking nearly unlimited personal power, the first thing to do is to KNOW WHERE YOU ARE. It's like a journey from point A to point B. You can't go to point B without knowing where point A is. You just don't know if you're going to be taking a left or a right if you don't know where you're starting from.
