Gents: did you know that one of the most common experiences we men have is fear? We all carry some fear of change, criticism, being alone, or—the mother of all fears—death. But we prefer not to talk about it. We pretend that it’s not there. Even if we are all scared creatures, and we don’t fear the same things or experience fear in the same way — w…

Gents, do you know what the single BIGGEST barrier to our success is in life? Can you guess? Hint: It’s not a lack of ability. It’s not a lack of effort. Rather, it’s the feeling that the things we want are beyond our self concept, our idea of who we are. It’s this one idea or belief that limits what we find to be appropriate for ourselves and what…

Do you feel guilty when saying “no”? Have you avoided setting limits with someone in order to avoid someone’s strong reaction, i.e. anger? Do you watch what you say, so other people don’t feel “hurt” or “upset” by you? Do you hold back or repress your reactions to avoid confrontation...but later feel resentful and embittered?

But then why is it then that leaders, entrepreneurs and athletes get convinced that they’re not closing enough deals, getting enough done, or winning enough — even when …
