Man of War: Forging Men into Warriors

On this episode of Warrior Chronicles 15 we dive into the importance of your appearance and how you dress for success. Yes, warrior minded men are sharp dressers in their unique style. Being sloppy is not part of a warrior’s demeanor or look. When we battle dress for success we are going to war. Just like you need to trust your gear in the battlefield you need to give off good impressions. You see the way you look has alot to do with the way you think about yourself and the way ithers see you. Now looking sharp has nothing to do with a lack of ruggedness. Being rugged is a style, a way of life. Men can be rugged as fuck and also be neat and well kept. The way you dress is linked with the way you lead. Inspire confidence in everything you set out to do by being battle dressed for life.
