Hey,
I'll keep this week's newsletter short and sweet because I'm leaving for a week on a Florida beach early tomorrow morning.
Besides, it's possible you've been reading too damn many emails, blogs and articles anyway.
And YouTube? Please stop watching so many videos.
Why?
Because there comes a point when lurking alone on the internet and gorging on self-help information has diminishing returns.
This is because we get intoxicated by the intellectual and academic high of learning new stuff...at the expense of ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING even one new habit or one new way of thinking.
I know all about it. I've been there.
When my marriage was crumbling I found myself frantically ingesting everything I could find about being a "better husband" and how to "attract her back". I was a lone wolf searching for a quick fix that would never come.
I did horrendously stupid things like trying to make her read the things I was reading. I would talk incessantly trying to convince her she was wrong about how she was feeling.
Then I heard something that stopped me in my tracks. It gave me a whole new way of thinking about the changes I needed to make and the type of work I needed to do.
You can never talk your way out of a situation you behaved yourself into.
That quote is from author and master coach Steven Covey. Did it hit you the way it hit me?
When a man really, really gets this, he changes his tactics. He stops the process of self-help binging, talking, explaining and begging.
Then he STARTS a new way of thinking and a new way of being. He starts every day with a new focus and new spring in his step.
He learns that external measures of progress no longer matter as much as how he operates within his own integrity and expectations of himself.
It's immediately calming and liberating. And that feels really good.
So what's my point in this short newsletter?
I want to invite you to consider two options to go deeper...to begin a real process of becoming the man you've always wanted to be.
This spring is a perfect time to start.
Starting on Saturday, April 9th, is our live group course,
