EP 4: Establish The Man Core Principle No. 3

EP 6: Establish The Man Core Principle No. 5

Establish The Man Core Principle No. 5a & 5b:

5a: "The Established Man has a foundation of masculine faith, mental and emotional strength, that comes from who he has become due to facing the storms of life".

5b: "The Established Man is not defined by the fulfilment of his dreams. He is defined by the character he develops along the journey towards his dreams".

In this episode we talk about the above core principles of the established man. An established man does the work necessary to develop strong faith with mental and emotional strength. The established man can see the weaknesses in himself when he exhibits poor behaviour during times of stress. He uses the storms of life or the hard times to refine his character rather than let his emotions get on top of him and affect the people around him. He doesn't bottle up his emotions in a fake show of stoicism. He openly acknowledges his struggles and finds ways to build his strength so he can be the man who inspires and protects his family and others around him.

Remember, the established man is not perfect. He has flaws and he has struggles, because he is doing great things with his life. He is becoming a man of wisdom and faith by facing the hard issues of his experience.

EP 5: Establish The Man Core Principle No. 4

Establish The Man Core Principle No. 4: "The Established Man becomes a strong leader even if he isn't the boss. He seeks to inspire and empower everyone he comes in contact with regardless of his position or professional title". 

In this episode we explore another foundational principle that is fundamental to established and positive masculinity. We are all called to leadership. The established man doesn't wait to be given a title or a team before he begins to build his leadership ability. The established man develops leadership ability as part of his core personality. We are talking about positive empowering and uplifting leadership. Not toxic, domination based leadership that seeks power through spreading fear.  

The established man is always seeking to show a strong standard of excellence in the family and in the work place. He isn't perfect but he has a vision to lead by example. It is irrelevant if he is in a professional position of management or leadership. His focus is on bringing his best attitude to the work place to lead by example. The established man see's leadership opportunity everywhere. It is just what he does. He is a man of service to others. Not a man serving his own ego to gain power and dominance over others. 

With this attitude of service based leadership, the established man builds peace and stability within his own emotional and mental health, because he seeks to uplift and empower everyone he is associated with. This protects him against mental and emotional crisis because he is in control of himself and is not controlled by the lust for power and superficial gain. The established man is in a constant state of developing himself into a well balanced and grounded individual. In doing so he naturaly inspires and empowers others to do the same. Not out of need for praise or power. But because he knows that this is what gives him the most peace and well-being. 

EP 4: Establish The Man Core Principle No. 3

Establish The Man Core Principle No. 3: "The Established Man is a man of great strength, purpose, confidence, vision and leadership".  In this episode we take a look at the next core principle of the Established Man. Once again we explore the fundamental elements of what we believe to be foundational knowledge for the modern man. Establish The Man is providing a standard for men to look towards as a means of evaluating where we are in life, in our behaviour, in our thinking and in our relationships.  If we exist without a standard to look towards how do we know if we are living up to our true potential? Having a standard to aspire towards, helps us to become more consciously aware of ourselves. As opposed to living in the unconscious behaviour that keeps us locked into the same patterns of behaviour that are habitually occurring in our lives. If we want to experience change and growth, we must become consciously aware of what is really going on in our mindsets, belief systems and thought programs. From here we can begin to see what is holding us back and what we need to change in order to experience the results we want to see.  The Establish The Man Ten Core Principles are designed to stir that conscious awareness and evaluation of ourselves to lead us to become the sort of men we need to become to see a positive change in ourselves, our marriage, our family and our world. 

Establish The Man Core Principle No. 2

In this episode we discuss the second core principle of the Established Man. "The Established Man works to be in control of himself and his emotions. He owns his mistakes and failures, and builds a vision to chase so he can be the man his family can look up to". The ten core principles of the Established Man provide a standard of behaviour and emotional well-being for the modern man. If we don't have a vision of where we are going as men in marriage, family and life in general then where are we going? If we don't have a standard to look towards how do we know when we are falling into damaging unconscious thinking and behaviour? By having a standard to be conscious of, we implant into our conscious thinking a flag that comes up when our behaviour contradicts the standard we desire to keep. Without that flag we are often slaves to our usual unconscious behaviour patterns which keep us locked into creating the same life we have. If you want more out of life, if you want more out of your marriage, if you want more out of your relationship with your children then you must develop new ways of thinking, believing and acting that develop that new outcome. "We can't create something new with the same thinking that got us to where we already are." Hope you enjoy this episode of Establish The Man Podcast.

The Ten Core Principles Of Establish The Man: Number 1 (Strong foundations)

In this episode of The Establish The Man Podcast I explain and define the first core principle of Establish The Man. Core principle number 1 is: “When a man falls the whole family falls. When a man stands in his true masculine character and identity, the whole family stands”. This principle outlines how important a man’s mental health is in regards to his marriage and family. The man of the family provides the foundation that the family strength is built upon. When that foundation is strong then the family can feel secure and empowered to live strong and empowered lives. When the man of the family provides a shaky or unbalanced foundation then the family lives from that vulnerable position and it often causes stress, fear and insecurity within the family. A man who stands in his true masculine power by developing his strong personal character and identity, is a man the family can rely on and look up to. The established man empowers his wife and family to be the best they can be. The unestablished man disempowers his wife and family and puts a burden on them to overcome before they can build their own strength. A man’s role is to provide stability and inspiration for his wife and children to build their own power upon. When we create obstacles, drama and trauma in our family, we place an unnecessary burden on their lives which they often carry for the rest of their lives. Of course many people overcome their trauma and childhood fears to become very successful in life. But they often live from a place of desperation rather than inspiration. Establish The Man is about learning to inspire and motivate our children to go after their life purpose and calling to live big lives serving others and making a real positive contribution to the world. This first core principle is designed to inspire that desire within us men. None of us are perfect. None of us have it all figured out. We are always works in progress. But Let’s make sure we are works in progress by doing the work necessary to establish ourselves in our true masculine power. Then from that place of strength and abundance lead our children to do the same.
