Julius Caesar broke the Roman Republic and cleared the way for the Roman Empire to be born
His name became the supreme title for emperors
His life is one of the greatest in history
Here are 7 lessons every man should learn from Julius Caesar
1) Choose your moment
Lepidus, who led an armed revolt against the senate, asked Caesar to join him
But Caesar rejected him; he sensed Lepidus didn’t have the strength of character to carry out his plan
Lepidus died soon after, while Cesar would later succeed in his own revolt
2) Keep promises to your enemies
Captured by pirates and held for ransom, Caesar spent nearly forty days with his captors
He often half-jokingly told the pirates he would crucify them all once he was free
Once the ransom was paid, he raised a fleet and did just that
3) Compare yourself to the best
Seeing a statue of Alexander the Great broke Caesar
At 33, Alexander had conquered the world, while Caesar had done nothing epoch-shattering
But the comparison pushed him to seek a discharge from his position and find glory for himself in Rome
4) Use entertainment to win
To win Rome, Caesar had to win the goodwill of its people
So he amazed them by paying for wild animal hunts, new public monuments, stage plays and an army of gladiators so large his enemies passed a bill limiting the amount anyone could keep in Rome
5) Be indispensable
When praetors wanted an inquiry into Caesar's time as consul, he delayed the trial by pursuing a campaign in Gaul
He then picked as many fights as he could, conquering Rome’s enemies and winning so many victories that trying him would be political suicide
6) Make retreat impossible
When battles became dangerous, Caesar sent away the horses - including his own- so his men knew they couldn't retreat
When troops tried to flee, he’d keep them on the field himself, grabbing them by the throat and facing them back toward the front
7) Control the narrative
Bad omens could break an army's morale
When Caesar slipped and fell when he first disembarked in Africa, he had to fix things
So he clasped the ground and said "Africa, I have a tight hold of you!" transforming a bad omen into a prophecy of victory
I always refused to live this life. And thanks to entrepreneurship I managed to dribble this rat race. ♾
99.9% of our problems are created in our minds through the lens of scarcity and fear!
Dare and think differently and break this cycle..
I missed my oldest son's first steps because I was traveling for my old job
It may sound like a small milestone to some, but it made me swear never to miss another moment on account of a "boss"
So I built this account into a business, bought back time with my family...
And a few weeks ago, I held our second son's hand as he took his first steps
You create your own reality. If you are not happy where you are right now, stop blaming external circumstances and look within.
You have complete control over your current reality.
You have the power to change your situation.
Changing your cycle of friends and habits.
Abundance is not [and never was] about money. It's [always been] about opportunity.
No opportunity, no money.
If you can see infinite opportunities, you have infinite possibilities of abundance.

Men today are afraid to work long enough to pay their mortgage 100% and allow their wives to homeschool their children.
A man must hold strong pride.
In our homosexual and weak times, men are doubt filled egalitarians who think it is "toxic" to hold authority over themselves, women and the world. These men are anxious, and doubt filled creatures who readily give away their power. Fools. A man needs to believe himself. Read on.
Men nowadays need to preface the speech with doubt signifiers such as "maybe," "kind of," "I think so" and "probably." They men are taught that truth and humility are good while deception and ego are bad. Is that true? Keep reading.
If a man never thinks he is better than a job, he will never seek a better one. If a man never thinks he is above his current position, he will never climb to higher positions. He must believe he is meant for something more which means he must nurture his ego and his view of self
This might seem controversial but "pride" is a neutral word. It can be good and it can be bad. Too much pride is a bad thing and too little pride is a bad thing. Why? Because the definition of pride is sense of one's own dignity.
Too much pride is arrogance while too little pride is low self-esteem. See? This is why I encourage to take pride in their masculinity. To take pride in their manhood and what that means to that responsibility. This generation of men have had their manhood demonized by women.
A man must first think he is worthy to hold authority over others before he does so. He must believe in himself and his sense of dignity. Pride is an elevated sense of our dignity. Is that bad? No. It can be bad when it falls into arrogance but elevating our self-worth is good.
Men must believe that they are endowed with authority over women. They must believe that they have inherited not only authority but also responsibility with that authority. The kingship is given to them, and they must rule with frame.
Remember, pride is neutral. A man can take pride in a job well done. A man can take pride in his role as a man. Pride must be managed. Do not moralize low self-esteem a humility. It is pathetic and false morality. Believe in yourself and seek power.
Men,
The woman you pick to be the mother of your children is one of the most important decisions you will make.
It will determine whether you'll live a happy life or one that resembles hell.
Be extremely selective about who you impregnate.
Combat sports are crucial for men because they expose who you really are. You can’t be an internet tough guy on the mats or in the ring. You either got it or you don’t. You learn what you’re made of. You learn where you stand in the hierarchy of men – and that’s scary as hell.
