Has anyone ever had Character training? Skills yes, tactics yes and mindset maybe. But where did we get our Character from? Our core fibre? Morales? Ethics? Honour? Way of Life? 

It appears to me that we inherited it from our upbringing, it gets refined by our environment and then there are decision cross-roads that come up typically through adversity.

A few weeks ago I was walking through Patara, a 3,000-year-old city in Turkey. You can still see the amphitheatre, the marketplace, the old streets. It’s easy to imagine the people who once filled them.

It made me think of the line: “Hard times create hard men. Soft times create soft men.”
And then uh oh, “soft men create hard times.”

How old are you? Think of a Roman man at the same age.

Imagine them learning from their elders. Do you think of honour, courage, integrity and self-control?

Imagine them in the military. Do you think of service, obedience, discipline and sacrifice?

Imagine the culture they lived in. Do you think of stoics, duty, rationality and mastery?

Imagine their belief system. Do you think of a higher power, civic duty, restraint and service?

Imagine boys becoming men. Do you think of a rite of passage or having to prove yourself to be a man?

Maybe I'm on crazy pills but I believe if you had a Roman Sales Rep, you'd trust them?

Today, 69% of buyers do not trust Sales Reps. In the West, there is no Boys becoming Men.

So think about how, who, what developed your character? Are you a man?

Think about who you are today and who you want to become?

I'm embarrassed that it took me meeting a man of quality like Rick to WAKE UP and DECIDE.
