Brotherhood of Advancing Men, BAM!!!!!
What is an advancing man?
The advancing man is someone who knows that life is about learning and that they will never stop learning. They are going to put in the hard work to becoming a real man.
An advancing man knows how to keep himself fit and healthy, because he knows that being that way will keep him sharp and ready to capitalize on opportunities. Being in a fat body makes you lazy minded and unmotivated, lethargic even. This doesn’t mean he’s a gym rat, or that he spends all his time doing this. No, he eats healthy and goes for a walk at the bare minimum.
The advancing man is A consumer of knowledge. He reads at least one self help or industry book a month. Watches YouTube videos, subscribes to newsletters, etc….
“Never trust anyone whose television is bigger than their bookshelf.”
The advancing man sacrifices what is easy for what is hard. He will never live in a world of complacency and “comfort”. Or, he sacrifices easy for hard, because he knows that hard will make him grow.
The Advancing Man is not afraid to fail. He knows that failure is part of his growth.
The Advancing Man takes responsibility for everything he has done, or at least his part in it. He will never blame another person for anything since what another person does is not in his control. They will not make excuses either. What’s the saying, excuses are like assholes, everyone has one. And people who make excuses are assholes..
The Advancing Man will fight for what they believe in, but will never be a martyr.
The advancing man lives in the moment. He knows that the past is gone and the future is unknown so spend hardly anytime there, unless to learn from the past and see direction in the future.
The Advancing Man is in control of his emotions, or is at least learning to. The reason I say learning to, is that this is the one we will struggle with the most and will take the longest one to conquer. The stoics called them the Passions. Passions are emotions that are considered to be irrational impulses that can lead to poor judgment and prevent people from making balanced decisions. Passions are caused by a failure to reason correctly, and that they are a disturbance to the mind that can lead to mental health issues. Anger is a great example, and is one that most men struggle with.
The Advancing Man has a desire to be successful. Yes, this can be subjective. They are a professional in their field of choice. They study their industry and are trusted.

Iron sharpens iron, as one person sharpens another. Men refine and strengthen one another through challenging interactions and honest conversations
