Men, make a commitment to yourself in these areas;
-A Mission
-Freedom of action
-Time for reflection
-Financial independence
-Top tier health
A Mission
A man without a mission is a rudderless man. If you don’t have a plan for your own life, someone else will co-opt you into theirs. A man with a Mission will always win over a man without, in all areas of life.
Freedom of Action
Ensure that you are not tied inextricably into someone else’s plan for their life.
Have commitments, take on responsibilities, but always give yourself the ability to manoeuvre. You are powerless without it.
Time for Reflection
Action is key yes, but a High Value Man regularly reflects on his life and his progress towards his goals. Give yourself time to reassess but also celebrate what you have achieved and the progress you have made, however small.
Financial Independence
This cannot be achieved overnight, but should be a goal. Clear debt, save an emergency fund and set up a second income. A High Value Man always has his financial situation under control. It gives him options & enables him to take the other steps above.
Top Tier Health
A man can never achieve his potential with poor health. You cannot achieve anything of value without your health. Commit to getting into shape and eating well. A long healthy life should be every man’s goal.
Your ability to manoeuvre in life is one of your most precious, but underestimated assets.
Its like your health, you don’t appreciate it until it’s not there.
Here’s my top 7 tips to retain this Superpower..
Stay out of High Interest Debt
High Interest Debt will drag you down or at least make you tread water. What happens if you lose your job? Or other expenses suddenly rise? Or you want to start a business? Debt reduces your options.
Don’t buy things on credit
Debt reduces your options and owning expensive shit will have zero +ve impact on your progress as a man. Don’t fake your financial success, it will always come back to bite you, and those monthly payments restrict you.

Accepting and taking on risk is the essence of what it is to be a man.
Hunting was all about taking on a risk for a bigger reward than Gathering.
But what is risk and what is acceptable?
What is Risk?
“expose (someone or something valued) to danger, harm, or loss.”
All reward stems from some risk. Risk is the calculation of potentially losing something valued but with a greater potential upside.
Why embrace Risk?
Life is competition and masculine men thrive on it. If you want Io get ahead, and have the best life possible, you have to take on risky activities to achieve this.
You cannot be a top 1% man, without taking on significant risk.
