Thank you for expressing interest in “21st Century Men.”  We are happy to have the opportunity to let you know more about what this non-profit organization is doing to make the lives of men everywhere better, more successful, more rewarding, and simply more fun.

HOW WE BEGAN

The men who began this organization have invested more than a decade of study on the issues common to many men; issues such as how to be successful, fulfilled and lead a great life. What became apparent through working with men of all ages, backgrounds, nationalities, and places in life, is, that while we all have our own individual situations, there is a tremendous amount of common ground among us with respect to our dreams, goals, challenges and what we want to stand for.

We have found that the key to enjoying the best life possible is when men are ready and willing to support each other as a team in this great game of life. We all need this support, from time to time, in order to accomplish what we need and want to in life. As men, however, it is not always easy to find or ask for the support we need, as opposed to believing we need to be macho and do it all on our own.

Like many of you, the founding members of 21st Century Men, have experienced all sorts of ups and downs, victories, and defeats, throughout the course of living life. One thing we have learned is that these challenges, while certainly difficult at the time, often lead to greater wisdom. This wisdom, gained by experience, makes us more trustable and results in a deeper sense of what we are made of at our core.

THE CHALLENGES OF BEING A MAN

For many of us, we began our adult life with all kinds of dreams, hopes, and desires for how our life would unfold and what we would accomplish. And then, year after year, life continued to press on us and throw obstacles in the way of our original visions.

Little by little, without noticing it along the way, our lives started heading in a direction we never saw or imagined. Jobs, family, kids, parents, health issues… there is no end to the challenges that modern life brings us.

Many men give in and live, not the life that they wanted or imagined for themselves, but a kind of half-hearted, burdened, paler life than they ever imagined or wanted.

When you are caught up in this endless cycle of doing what is piled on your plate, spending your days putting out one fire after another – being the proverbial hamster on the wheel endlessly running but not getting anywhere – there may seem to be no way out. This is the condition that many men find themselves in today.

FORTUNATELY, THERE IS ANOTHER WAY

The strengths of being a man – the ability to forge ahead on your own, to bear down and get the job done, and to single-handedly take care of business – are also a weakness if we pass up the opportunity of team and support. Talk to anyone who is very successful in life, in any area or field, and they will tell you that they couldn’t have achieved all that they did on their own.

Imagine how well you would do if you stepped out on a football field, all alone, to face the opposing team. Yet stop and look for a second… where in life are you going it alone and expecting to be as powerful and effective as possible?  This approach, the going it alone against all odds, we call the “lone wolf” syndrome. Don’t worry if you find yourself doing this, as it is built into us as men. Remember it can be a strength. We simply have to learn to use it when it is helpful and let it go when it gets in the way of us moving forward and becoming a better, stronger, more capable man that people can easily trust and rely on.

WHAT REALLY WORKS

We have spent a great deal of time and energy, and yes, quite a bit of frustration, to discover what really works. One of the main problems we encountered as we began studying how to be better men was the effective implementation of the ideas and information being promoted as solutions. The piles of information that bombard us day in and day out can make it seem difficult and complicated.

Here is the crux: do you come away with direct, easy to implement, basic tools and strategies that you can use immediately or are you left having to spend lots of time figuring things out, unsure of how to actually apply the information in your own life? You know, here’s the manual for that rocket – go take it apart and put it back together… easy right?

Having had the opportunity to work with thousands of men over the years, we have developed and tested a simple system of tools that are easy to apply and that readily impact the life of today’s man.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BASICS

In order to sustain and truly develop any skill or ability, it is essential to continually work on mastering the basics. Like a good musician always practices the scales, and a professional basketball player always practices foul shots to keep themselves crisp, the same approach applies to being a good man. Our work, then, is focused on the basics at the source of being a good, successful and trustworthy man, all put together, in a form that simply works for guys.
It is broken down into what we call the “ABCs” It is easy to remember in your everyday life and the foundation pieces that make great men and also gives us the freedom to breathe and rest in knowing that we got this.

TODAY’S MEN

Now it is a new time – the 21st century – and new times call for new approaches. The ways that served 20th Century men, as good as they were and as big a difference as they made for us and many men, are no longer sufficient to serve men now in today’s world – the 21st century. We have taken what is best of the work of the past and updated, reworked, and developed our programs to better reflect what is at stake and at issue for men today.

YOU GOT THIS

We want to help make your life easier with the support of other good men, guys who understand the burdens and challenges of living in the 21st century. Schedule the time to be with us now and get the systems, support, tools, and Team that really make the difference from sitting on the sideline to playing the game of life full on.
