Honestly, where do YOU put your shopping basket at midnight?

Published: Sun, 04/29/18

Hey,

This is a serious question...seriously.

It's midnight. It's raining. You stopped by the grocery store to get stuff you really need and you're in a hurry to get home.

Just as you throw the last bag in the car you turn to look at the empty shopping cart.

What do you do next?

Nobody's watching. Nobody will know.

You can shove it into the space next to you and take off or you can beach it on a nearby island.

Surely there's some 14-year-old whose job it is to come find your cart in the morning.

Or...do you bite the bullet and run it (or ride it preferably) down to the nearest "Cart Corral" area where the other good doobies put their carts?

No judgment here, brother. I've done it both ways in my day.

It's funny when I bring this example up in a coaching call with a man. Before I even finish the question he always says,

"Oh man, I ALWAYS take it back to the cart corral!"

He immediately knows what I'm getting at. He knows who he wants to be. Even if he's lying to me.

It's just a way to make a point about your "Masculine Operating Principles" (aka. M.O.P.'s).

The point is...most men don't have any.

And that usually makes for an unhappy, uncertain, unfocused man.

I explain WHY this is in this video.

The ONE THING You Need to Feel More Calm, Clear and Confident

The question that most of us haven't taken the time to answer is:

What do I expect of myself when nobody is watching?

If we don't have a clear answer to this question we wind up REACTING a lot more than RESPONDING.

And as you know, REACTING to negative circumstances is almost always from a place of fear. These reactions come from an insecure, 14-year-old version of ourselves. Reactions have unbridled and undisciplined emotions attached to them.

Masculine Operating Principles are the key to learning how to respond like a man.

Responses come from an inner peace and a solid awareness of who you want to BE. When you know exactly what you believe and what you expect from yourself, your thoughts are calm and confident.

And when your thoughts are calm and confident your emotions become calm and confident.

Like I said. Most men don't take the time to figure out their M.O.P.'s.

But for those who do?

More calm. More confidence. More peace. More clarity. More laughing. More MOJO.

These improvements are a NATURAL RESULT of working out your own stuff.

Now that the May Confident Man Ranch Retreat is full (sorry if you thought you still had time to get in on that), here's the next opportunity for you to get serious about working out your own stuff.

The summer Men's Cave Group Coaching Program.

I'm changing this one up a little and allowing only SIX men in this tribe of great men. The investment of time, energy and money may seem too intense to some...but not to the right man.

This program starts on June 28th and spans 4 months and 12 intensive live sessions via Zoom video conferencing. The brotherhood you will develop will blow your mind.

And the RESULTS are a powerful, positive SHIFT in the way you handle yourself and your current circumstances.

This program tends to make a man wax philosophical. Here's how one man put it at his halfway point in the Men's Cave program.

"I'm learning that recognizing my behavior is a big part of the evolutionary process in this journey. I love that I can now recognize the negative behavior if not prevent it all together. It’s a subtle shift but a massive impact. I often think of a big ocean going vessel that makes a 1 degree turn, by the time that ship crosses the ocean, the destination could be on a different continent. My port of call is undetermined but I have made that 1 degree turn to starboard!"

It's breakthroughs like that which will change your life. This work and the investment we make in it is amortized over the next 30-40 years.

Yeah. I believe in it that much. And I believe in you too...maybe more than you believe in yourself at this moment.

Think about it. Are you ready to experience a massive impact?

Hit reply and tell me your story. Ask me anything.

You're in charge of your current reality and your future. You get to lead the life you want.

And if you're not willing to be your own lead dog...the view will never change.

Lotta love, brother,

Steve

P.S. My Kindle book, Straight Talk Tools for the Desperate Husband may be what you need to give you an immediate injection of confidence. Here's what a reader wrote about it yesterday. And, again...if you simply can't afford the $7.99 or you live in a place without access or ability to order it...just say so. I will send you a free copy in email.

From Robert's 5-Star Review:

When I first came across [this book]it was like finding an oasis in the desert. Here was a guy who made common sense. In a topsy, turvy world, here was a man who made sense, complete horse sense. I have devoured his videos, his blog, and now this book. I've already been through it a few times and plan on many more trips. This is straight up, no-nonsense, Cupcake, stuff that men need to hear and apply to create and live the fearless, desired life and marriage they want to see unfold in their life. I've seen results and plan on seeing more positive results applying Steve's wisdom.
