4 Habits of Highly Empowered Men
Welcome to Invictus Coaching for Men, where we help you cultivate the habits needed to lead a self-directed and empowered life. Here are the four key habits of highly empowered men:
1. Self-Awareness & Self-Direction
Trust Yourself and Your Instincts
Create a life where you lead with purpose and authenticity, free from the need for outside validation.
Men often grow up without strong male role models to guide them. With divorce rates high and primary custody often going to mothers, boys miss out on male influence. This lack of guidance continues through education, leading to a society where men seek external validation rather than trusting their instincts.
To reclaim your self-awareness and self-direction, look inside yourself. The answers are already within you. Trust your gut, lead with purpose, and build your life from within. Seek a male guide, mentor, coach, or therapist to help uncover your inner strength and wisdom.
2. Embrace Failure, Keep Moving
Perseverance is Key
Failure is part of the journey to success. Keep pushing forward, continuously improving, and never look back.
Success stories often involve overcoming failures. Men like Henry Ford, Soichiro Honda, and Harrison Ford faced numerous setbacks before achieving greatness. Real dangers exist, but so do opportunities for growth and success. The journey to a self-directed life involves hard work, determination, and resilience.
Divorce, job loss, and other life challenges can shatter a man. Two crucial lessons to remember are:
Don’t look back: The past is unchangeable. Focus on moving forward and creating your success.
Persevere: Continuously improve yourself, find your direction, and move towards your goals.
3. Own Your Confidence
Ground Yourself in Your Worth and Abilities
Seek validation from within, stand strong in who you are, and act out of confidence in every aspect of your life.
You already have the drive and commitment to succeed. Trust in yourself, focus on your abilities, and take control of your life. Confidence comes from within, and it’s essential to reclaim it to guide your own path. Start today and take back control of your life.
4. Set Boundaries, Protect Your Space
Establish Strong Boundaries and Honor Them
Don’t let anyone cross the line. Take control of who you allow into your life.
Men often grow up being told not to have boundaries, leading to insecurity and a lack of direction. By building strong boundaries, you create control, fortitude, and a self-directed life. They help you control your life, protect yourself, and maintain peace. Setting boundaries involves knowing what you want and expect from others, and clearly stating these ground rules.
Key Boundary Elements
Right to Set Boundaries: You have the right to set any boundary you want for yourself.
Control Your Life: Boundaries protect you from others. You control who and what affects you.
Importance of Boundaries: People who dismiss boundaries are the ones you need boundaries for.
Internal Boundaries: Boundaries are personal and should not be announced. They are self-directed guideposts.
Protect Your Needs: Boundaries protect your wants and needs.
Respect Others: Respect for other people’s boundaries is equally important.
Defend Your Boundaries: Do not let others control your life by breaking your boundaries.
Personal Growth: Continuously add to your list of boundaries as you grow.
