When you are in the strategy phase of the Man OS, what strategies do you use for goal setting? I recently learned about SMART goals and it make a lot of sense to me. - S – Specific - Clear and well-defined. You know exactly what you’re aiming for. - - M – Measurable - You can track it with numbers or clear criteria. Progress is visible. - - A – Achievable - (sometimes Attainable)Realistic given your resources, time, and current capacity. - - R – Relevant - It actually matters to your life, values, or bigger vision. - - T – Time-bound - There’s a deadline or timeframe that creates focus and momentum. Is this something that would be helpful?

The challenge in the intro for ManOS was to share something from the initial reflection questions. One of them was "what does being a man mean to me today" and as I wrote in my journal it became clear who I want to be. So im putting this out there kind of as a statement to myself to say "I'm doing this. This is the Northstar for my direction". If I had to describe a true man as I aspire to be, it's "quiet confidence". It's the man that walks into a room and because of his confidence, his true love and compassion for all of those he comes in contact with, the mood and tone of the room shifts. There's no pride or aire of superiority, it's just a person that you are drawn to because you know that no matter what's going on, he's going to be calm and see it through. Quiet confidence. The person in the room that doesn't have all the answers, but knows that collectively we do and can help pull those answers from the group. The person that you want to be with, not because he's great, but because he makes you feel great. I often think about the true meaning of meek. It comes from the Greek word praus and is used to a) describe a soothing medicine. b) Used by sailors to describe a gentle breeze. c) Used by farmers to describe a broken colt. All of these are *great power under control*. Men should be meek. I want to be the meek one in the room.

The recorded call from tonight about The Expanse and ManOS. We discussed what it is that we're building here with The Expanse, the role that the ManOS Operating System plays in it, and even had some guided Journaling prompts to expand the Awareness space. For those that didn't get a chance to join live....enjoy the replay!

Greetings Men. Tonight we're hosting our last weekly call at 7pm CST open to ALL members before launching into ManOS. After this there will be just one community call each month for all members to attend. For tonights call we'll be going over what it is we're creating in The Expanse and how the ManOS Operating System is foundational to where we're going from here. With that a major shoutout to @Rhys Hall and @Jared Fenn for being the first Men to take the leap into the Premium Tier and the evolution that will follow. Thank you both for you faith and trust in The Expanse and what we're building and most of all for your faith and trust in YOURSELVES!! I'm looking forward to connecting tonight. So bring your presence, bring your energy, bring your questions and LET'S EXPAND.

Gentlemen. We are officially launching on Tuesday into the very foundation that will lay the groundwork for EVERYTHING that we build together from here. Without a common operating system to connect and communicate with one another, it will be hard to talk about health, relationships, sex or money in a way that's truly sustainable and integrative long term. Remember this is the Global Standard For Men's Work. It's THIS or better. And so far I haven't seen better. Have you? So if you have even the slightest notion that what we're building here in The Expanse is special, then I really encourage you to upgrade to the Premium Membership and join us as we download, learn and install ManOS TOGETHER. (Which by the way will be the last time we go through it together after this cohort). There's no commitment to the Premium tier- let's say you try it, don't like it, want to drop out- all it costs you is $100. AND what if this Premium Membership is the gateway to the most powerful and magnetic version of you. How valuable is that version of you? The Standard Membership gets: -ManOS Lite -One Community Call per Month With the Premium Membership you get: -Access to The ManOS Operating System -Weekly Calls -Additional Courses following completion of ManOS (There are a lot in the pipeline) So if you have questions, are unsure, don't feel like it's worth it, or just want to share your perspective and feedback...drop your comments and questions below! Much Love! Vamanos ManOS
