I want to see some more engagement in this group
Hey guys Firstly, my deepest appreciation to all of you for being part of the group, especially those who interact on the feed and bring some ideas and life into the discussions. I have analytics on Skool that show me many of you are "lurking" - I can see that people read posts and visit the group, occasionally comment (usually when I'm doing some sort of free giveaway), but otherwise don't really post or support others with comments. I want to know what I can do to improve that. I want this to be a place where you feel encouraged and safe to participate actively, help others and share your experience along the way. I've tried a few things already, like 30 day challenges and polls and giveaways, but most of you remain silent. I know one sure-fire way is to make this group paid-only (remove the free membership tier). This is a last resort for me, but I'm running out of ideas. If you want this group to remain free, comment below (or DM me privately if you're not ready to be seen publicly) and let me know what I can do to increase your active participation. Let's build this thing together and have everyone giving in to the group. Cheers Dan

I don't know. But I know I'm still broken, and so I've always got an eye in here searching for things that I think can help me. I've consumed alot of content and continue to do so. But I never quite make it to the courses even though I know that's the number one thing I should be doing. But it always gets pushed aside because of other things I've got going on in my life, and I think it's going to take a bit of effort on my part to actually take part in the courses properly to make real change in me. But I still don't. It's always in the too hard basket. I immensely enjoyed the challenges at the start and end of the year, and then watching the relays of the workshops they helped me a great deal, and I've still got the things that I've written down for the type of person I want to be and what I want to achieve in different areas of my life, and I have them in the back of my mind knowing that I participated and wrote them down in the comments, and so they're like a small unconscious accountability thing going on in my head that I want to actually be, and become one day, and work towards. And I never want to give up on myself and just stay this same version of me. Because it hurts inside the feeling of not being able to participate in life properly as the real me.

@Aaron Frater I totally relate. I always don't want to do something until I have proper time to absorb it and give it a proper well thought out engaged reply. But that often leads to procrastination, and sometimes what my family always told me if I'm not gonna pay something proper attention and respect and can't do it properly... then don't do it at all. I've since learnt that that attitude and ingrained belief, fear and behavior is what holds me back. Through this program and others I've learnt that it's okay to do some, it's okay to not be 100% ready, it's okay to not know how to do it, it's okay to do some spontaneously while halfway out the door, it's okay to try to do some knowing it's probably going to be wrong or ugly. For me to let go of controlling having to either have a good outcome and result by getting it right and perfect, Or not going into it at all. It's a big thing. Allowing me to do some anyway. Trying no matter what it looks like is a small win for me. Like Dan used to say 'collecting No's'.
Commitment phobia?
In the email screenshot attached, you can see a dilemma my client is going through re committing to his girlfriend. Here is my response: Hey mate From my observations, fear of commitment, especially in Nice Guys, usually comes from 5 main sources 1. Commitment feels like a promise you're not sure you can keep (i.e. confusing committing NOW with a promise that you'll still be committed LATER) 2. Shame / not good enough beliefs, leading you to think I can't commit because I'll get my heart broken when I'm later "discovered" for who I really am and rejected 3. Being a bad "ender", i.e. fearing commitment because you don't trust yourself to end things later if you change your mind, so your commitment would keep you trapped in something you don't want 4. A limiting belief that certainty is a required feeling, i.e. you can't commit until you're "sure" it's a good idea 5. FOMO - thinking that commitment - focusing on one - means missing out on others/many In brief, here are my counters to each of these limiting, inaccurate, and illogical beliefs 1. Commitment just means fully showing up NOW. If you don't phrase it as a promise (e.g. "I promise to always love you), and instead frame it as a commitment, you will feel safer e.g. "I love you and in this moment you're the only person I want to be with, and that's all I can guarantee you". 2. Take it one day at a time. Rather than commiting to a future relationship, just ask yourself, "Do I want to be with her just one more day?" If the answer is yes, then you don't need to worry about anything (e.g. rejection) until after the next day together is completed. 3. Work on your confrontation and boundary setting skills. Prove to yourself that you can end commitments, e.g. quit a gym you no longer use, cut off a toxic friend, permanently give up on a hobby that you're no longer passionate about. Once you show yourself that you won't be trapped by guilt and obligation, then you won't fear making bigger commitments. 4. You can't be certain about something that you haven't yet experienced. You can only be certain about your past experiences. Have your experiences with her been enjoyable? If so, the most likely predictor of the future is the past. That's all you'll ever have to go on. As my old coach once said, "Go when your 80% ready, that's as much as you'll ever be."

I remember being with girls that were so amazing that I put in a pedestal and couldn't wait to message and see every day. And I always keep this excitement for at least a year. But still during that time I'm unsure if it could ever be a forever thing. If she was to ask me if we could become committed partners, I would still be afraid of commitment and not having a way out once the fact that no one really can get to know me because I don't know myself comes out, that I would have to eventually sabotage the relationship. Hence I'm still single. This time I'm trying my best not to go into any relationships until I've spent a long time actually doing work and getting to know myself. Experiencing boundaries and trying standing up for myself in or areas of life.

I'm Keen, if I qualify
A small fall
I recently found myself out of work. The Agency I work for stopped contacting me, and even responding to my calls and messages. This has left me in some real financial stress at a time when I was just breaking free from debt. I started to think the universe was trying to break me. Daft, right? Like the whole fucking Universe gives a damn about me. But that was how I have been feeling. What I feel is worse is that I am procrastinating on finding a new job. I would be thinking about what to do, finding some pathways and saying " I'll do it later". Then I realised that I have spent my whole life ( I'm memory) doing this. I'll do it tomorrow, I'll do it when I get paid etc etc. Now, even though I have become aware of this, breaking free from this is stupidly hard. Even with advice and techniques to help, I find myself not doing anything and suddenly finding it's dark or past a deadline and I feel a sense of failure. It is INFURIATING!!

Procrastination and self sabotage is a big one for me especially on big things that require so much stress energy that I'm afraid of and not confident about. I feel for you mate. I hope the urgency helps to get some action going once it starts becoming a necessity to find something. I've learnt to feel better by setting aside a certain amount of scheduled time to get something towards it done even if it's tiny. But it is difficult during tough uncertain times. I find sometimes until it's dire straits my unconscious thinks I have time to kick the can down the road a bit further. Thanks for sharing, I totally relate
Live coaching call: Dealing with lost motivation
Hey guys, here's the recording from today's Brotherhood session. Today we went deep with Ben about why he's losing motivation with approaching strangers even though he's seeing progress and it aligns with his values https://www.skool.com/brojo-brotherhood-2147/classroom/69942c19?md=655ea883eed94813b0156df79ed7e1f3 Enjoy!

Awesome. Thanks Ben for your truthfulness and honesty. I got so much from this. I measure myself the same ways. But now I know not to be too hard on myself and to realise the truth of my progress and current and past feelings and how they all come into play.

On the journey of a life time. And life didn't begin till I started it. Event though everything in the first 39 years was also a necessary part of it
