What we’re about
Hello men – Thank you for joining this group. I will start by saying I’m not a men’s coach but I’ve been a part of a few men’s groups the last few years that were led by coaches. Before that I never even considered a men’s group and the thought of sharing intimate details of my life to another man was beyond my comprehension. I couldn’t even do that with my male friends. But I went through another negative major life event and I finally asked myself what am I doing wrong and why do I keep getting these outcomes. None of the coaching was cheap and I looked for a local option and found none, therefore why not start one.
As much as I hate using the term, this group will be a “safe” place for each of us to share issues, provide feedback, and gain insights from others to maximize our lives. I have come to the conclusion that you must take extreme ownership of your life and direct your actions in a way to drive the outcomes you are looking for. If you don’t know what those outcomes are then I would suggest you start figuring that part out immediately. If you don’t have outcomes in mind all you are doing is operating like a sailboat with no rudder and the wind is just pushing you along in whatever direction it’s blowing. You end up wherever you end up (good, bad or ugly). You have to take extreme ownership (title of a book I read by a former Navy Seal) to have a world class life and be a 1% type man. No, I do not know what the exact definition of a world class life or a 1% man is, but I’m sure they are out there and living very well. No more blaming your past, addictions parents, wife, girlfriend, friends, boss, politics, social media or any other person, place or thing for what you do not have. Strong men blame themselves and only themselves. You are the reason you are where you are.
Where I’ve learned the most is from other men who have had massive failures and it made me understand that I’m not the only guy out there struggling to try and “figure it out”. The coaches I used all had their struggles and turned it around to being a positive force for other men. This will not be a group where you come to try to impress others with whatever you feel is impressive about yourself. No one will gain anything from that except your ego will be falsely inflated, but we will gain from you bringing you struggles, issues and how you have overcome. I assure you that it doesn’t matter what age you are because the masculine NEVER stops growing. Your world needs you to be a strong man living with a purpose and mission and will accept nothing less.
I will try to bring topics each week to spur conversation and yes at first it will feel it bit awkward to share, but it gets much easier.
I will set the zoom calls up soon.
Thanks,
Craig
