There is no “mid-life crisis” for men…generally speaking.
This “mid-life crisis” for men is, is just a lack of focus and purpose. When men lose their purpose, they also lose our focus. When they lose their focus they feel lost. And many men attempt to find themselves in unproductive behaviors.
My main point of these posts and my private intensive, The 2nd Passage, is to help men realize that they do have a mission and purpose in life. And once they find it they can live a life of power, purpose, passion and perseverance!
My hope is that through these series of posts and The 2nd Passage Intensive, I will help men who, admittedly or not, are experiencing a mid-life emptiness and guide them back to manhood and step into their masculinity…without becoming a jerk.
We’ve already covered the mental qualities and well into the emotional habits of a highly focused purpose driven man. We’ll look at another financial habit:
Financial Control:
Purpose Focused Man
- Budget where each dollar goes and the what it will return
- Knows there is no get rich quick scheme
- Wealth takes dedication, mental strength, constant and persistent action
- Increase revenue and lower expenses
A man with a purpose driven life understands that there are no get rich quick schemes and that his financial success is solely dependent on him and sound financial knowledge.
A man living a purpose focused life takes account of every dollar, not just in spending but in investing as well. He is not a penny pincher, but he does know where every dollar goes and the return on his investments.
He knows the main goal for financial freedom is to reduce expenses and increase revenue. All financial decisions are based on this model.
No Life Purpose, Unfocused Man
- Looks for short-cuts and get rich quick
- See the fruits of others labors and wants to take a bit without putting the same effort that produced it
- Increase expenses and keep the same or reduce revenue
The man living a life with no purpose is looking for the quick way out, even if it means benefiting from other efforts. The trouble here is that he’ll invest in quick money schemes never realizing that the money invested could have been put to better use.
The man with out a purpose driven life wants wealth to come him as quickly and easily as possible without putting in any effort.

I’ll leave you these quote’s:
“In the old days a man who saved money was a miser; nowadays he’s a wonder.” – Author Unknown
“The amount of money you have has got nothing to do with what you earn. People earning a million dollars a year can have no money and people earning $35,000 a year can be quite well off. It’s not what you earn, it’s what you spend” – Paul Clitheroe
