The Initiated Man is one who is driven, disciplined and always has a plan.

He’s goal-oriented and continually sets new targets that make him uncomfortable.

He has the skills to write his own paycheck and live outside the 9-5.

He paves his own way. Doesn’t conform to societal norms, and lives by his own sense of morals. 

He isn’t concerned about what people think of him. Nor does he “bend a knee” to anybody.

He speaks his mind, even if it means sharing uncomfortable truths. Not to cut others down… but to help them become better versions of themselves. 

He is Emotionally Intelligent. 

Comfortable with his emotions, he welcomes and processes them in a healthy way. 

This ability makes it easy for him to read the emotions of others, which he uses to his gain when it benefits all parties. 

Unlike “Alpha’s” he is not driven by anger. As it is used to mask fear and sadness, both of which the Initiated Man knows how to feel and release so it never turns into rage.

He’s effortlessly charismatic. 

He keeps his matters close to the chest, and lets few people in.

His success is obvious, though not through material possessions or bragging, but by his knowledge, experience and what others say about him.

He carries a quiet confidence that can’t be faked. 

He’s open-minded. 

Constantly seeking the truth no matter what the implications may be. 

He enjoys having his ideas challenged. And engages in disagreements to learn instead of trying to be right, looks to see where he may be wrong. And will happily admit when that’s the case. 

However, this doesn’t mean he’s a pushover…

He’s not scared to oppose mainstream ideas. And never takes information at face value… no matter the source. 

For this reason he doesn’t identify politically, whether Right, Left or “non-mainstream”. Fully aware that every channel/person has its biases and agendas he questions everything.

His quest for the truth is rooted in an endless curiosity. 

He reads daily, can disappear down rabbit holes of information and enjoys sitting in deep contemplation.

People come to him to solve problems knowing he has a gift for seeing what others don’t and come up with innovative solutions.

His relationship with women is unique in today’s world. 

He understands men and women are different and doesn’t delude himself with progressive beliefs that state otherwise.  

Instead of being frustrated by women “testing him”, he understands the dynamic, and participates fully.

If His wife or girlfriend earns more than he does, he’s happy for her, but driven by traditional beliefs, he aims to become the breadwinner. 

All of the above puts him at the top of the social hierarchy… right along with “Alpha” males. However, he doesn’t give a shit about the hierarchy's. Which pisses off others who are desperately trying to clamour to the top.

His hero is the man he will become in 10 years.

Which drives him to invest in books, courses, mentorship and more. Knowing he’s one insight away from levelling up and dominating the game of life just a little more.
