Do you understand?

We have a tendency to glamourise those who go from rags to riches

Those who drag themselves from the trenches of poverty into penthouse suites

It’s actually easier this way - being born into this creates the desire and drive to break the curse

Noone talks about how hard it is to go from comfortable beginnings to creating your own success - when you’re used to money always being available, you have to self motivate to find the drive

This will offend some people

I believe there is a crisis of masculinity amongst modern men

Their role in society of the past was clear:
Provide
Protect
Lead
Build

In the modern world, the government takes care of most of this

Can’t provide for your family? Here are some benefits to cover that

Can’t protect your family? We have police, armies and prisons to keep you safe

Lead? Where are you going? From the sofa to the fridge?

You get the point,

I’ve been researching this for a while. Having seen first hand how destructive the behaviour of a confused man can be and I think I’m closing in on the answer.

You see, the traditional roles haven’t changed; they need adapting for the new world.

And to do this there are four key areas to work on across your life. I call this your CROW.

Composure. Reality. Ownership. Willingness.

Building composure is the backbone. This is what keeps you resilient and non-reactive as a man.

It allows you to stand in the face of adversity unshaken.

It shows power to the world when other men have grown weak and impulsive.

You learn to protect again. Emotionally, you become reliable and steadfast. Your wife softens back into her femininity knowing that you aren’t going to snap when things get tough,

You learn to provide once more. Accepting the reality that you must become irreplaceable. Not only financially but in your usefulness.

You lead as a role model in society. To other men and children. Proudly showing what a strong set of morals and a developed mindset can achieve.

Finally, you build legacy.

“Looksmaxxers” like Clav are genuinely on to something

There’s a type of bias known as “the halo effect”

It’s a cognitive bias where our overall impression of a person—often driven by their physical attractiveness—influences how we feel and think about their character, intelligence, or capability

If you’re not at least doing the bare minimum to improve your looks, you’re allowing your influence to falter

My children are young

But I’ve instilled in them this idea that whatever path in life they choose, they should strive to be the best at it

Whether that’s in construction, hairstyling or rocket science

Let’s work at being outliers

Homeschooling just made sense for us..

The goal:
Freedom first business
Adventures and experiences with the family
Plot of land
Legacy

In that order
