  • Get unstuck from an “identity rut”

    Recently in a Vanguard mentoring call, of the members was looking for clarity around how to use the "Law of Identity" (which is one of seven laws I taught in Apex Report #001) to become more productive.

    The gist of the law is that if you can shift how you identify yourself, you can shift how you behave.

    He said,

    "I just can't quite understand how I could use an identity shift to be more productive when I'm NOT a productive person and have never been!"

    I understand his struggle.

    Deciding to identify as a productive person when you have a whole lifetime of being unproductive can seem extremely illogical, or potentially even self-deceptive!

    The mistake our friend was making here was that he was STUCK IN THE PAST.

    Yes, he was previously NOT productive.

    He cannot honestly identify his PAST self as a productive man.

    But there is NOTHING stopping him from deciding WHO HE IS NOW.

    If we let our past define us, then we'd all still be shitting in diapers and crying for breastmilk!

    So I told him to f*ck the past and decide to identify as a productive man moving forward!

    You can decide what kind of man you are at ANY point.

    When this clicked for him, you could practically hear the lightbulb explode in his brain.

    Examples:

    "I'm a highly productive man."

    "I'm the kind of man who generates abundant wealth."

    "I'm the guy who gets stronger in hardship rather than weaker."

    Pick one and begin the adventure of embodying it!

    UYAP! (Unleash Your Apex Potential)

    P.S. If you pick "I'm the kind of guy who unleashes his apex potential" - then you'll want to make sure you're getting this month's Apex Report where I show you how to dramatically increase the speed of internalizing your chosen identities.

  • A "Habit Trick" I Learned From Guns

    In the manufacturing process, "tolerance" refers to how tightly and neatly pieces of a machined item fit together. 

    The place I'm most familiar with this concept is in the production of firearms.  

    If a gun has "tight" tolerances, then the fit of the pieces is more perfect, with very little wiggle room. 

    If a gun has "loose" tolerances, then the fit of the pieces is less snug, with a bit more room and give.

    You can oversimplify the practical difference between a tight and loose tolerance firearm like this:

    Tighter tolerances benefit precision - creating a more accurate gun. 

    Looser tolerances benefit reliability - because jams are less likely, especially when used more roughly or under less ideal circumstances (dirt, water, lower quality ammo etc.)

    This idea of "tight vs loose tolerance" applies to our habits as well!

    If I'm Elon Musk and have lots of discipline and money to pay assistants, I can run a tight tolerance system where I have my whole month blocked out in 15-minute increments.

    This is the equivalent of a tight tolerance, high-accuracy, target shooting gun that can perform well under competition conditions.

    If I've got a chaotic family life, low discipline, or am quitting an addiction and need to deal with random cravings…

    ...I'm probably better off just making a list of the 3-7 things I'd like to get done every day.

    This is similar to the "go-to-war" gun that can roll around in the dirt and mud and still get the job done.

    Who cares if it doesn't shoot the tightest groupings - "good enough" ALWAYS beats "nothing at all".

  • What I Learned From the Death of My Grandfathers

    This holiday season I lost both of my grandfathers just a few days apart.


    Neither were entirely unexpected, but it was still a blow.

    But in losing the eldest patriarchs of my bloodline, it got me thinking about the idea of masculine legacy.

    I believe the modern world has put too much emphasis on worldly achievement, especially for men.

    When I was younger, I internalized this and thought "unless I change the world in some massive way - I'm a complete failure."

    But to think that way would be accuse these two great men of being failures.

    Neither of them accomplished anything world-shaking.

    Their names won't be in any history books.

    But their kindness, generosity, love and support gave the strength that has allowed two family lines to flourish.

    When I look at all the goodness that flows out of both sides of my family, and imagine all of that goodness as it expands into future generations…

    ...it becomes abundantly clear to me that for most men, the greatest legacy they can leave is morally strong and spiritually healthy families.

    Accomplishing this is no small feat in our corrupt modern world.

    It is a feat that requires true determination, faith, and strength.

    The path of the family man is as great and noble of a cause as any, perhaps even the greatest.

    For family is the font of life, and without life, what do we have?

    UYAP! (Unleash Your Apex Potential)
    Mark Queppet

    P.S. In order to build YOUR legacy, you need to be able to get yourself to show up as the man you want to be. For most guys, this requires a combination of masculine support and structured education to truly release your potential.

  • Make 2021 your best year ever by DOING LESS

    I think most of us massively overestimate how quickly we can really install new habits.


    From what I've seen, most people approach habit change from a "one to two week" sort of mindset.

    They go hard for a few days and then gradually taper off to almost nothing by week two.

    The truth of the matter is that most real habit change takes anywhere from 1-6 months depending on how significant the change is.

    Starting a gym routine or diet might be a one or two-month affair until it gets locked in (it will likely take longer to get the big results though).

    Quitting porn or some significant addiction is in the three-month-plus category.

    The problem is that this reality can be disheartening when you are hoping for an overnight transformation.

    But once you abandon childish fantasies, you can embrace the truth that you can MASSIVELY improve your life in one year, and COMPLETELY TRANSFORM IT IN THREE.

    For example:

    Y1: Quit porn, develop a fitness habit, improve your diet

    Y2: Cut out videogames & BS time wasters, start building a side business, begin networking/dating

    Y3: Go full time into your side business and start optimizing and tweaking the stuff you’ve already got going

    In three years, you could completely transform your body, your career, your income, and your relationships.

    Abandon the “quick fix” mentality and start laying out your transformation!

    UYAP!

  • NEW DAILY VIDEOS: Unleash Your Apex Potential with me in 2021!

    The response to my daily emails has been awesome, so I’m doubling down on the high frequency stuff!


    This was inspired by Dan Kennedy and Ben Settle (my top two business and marketing ultra-gurus) who always push me to…

    Identify and utilize my UNUSED CAPACITY!

    The idea is that most of us have way more output available to us if we were to simply apply a bit more intelligence and intentionality to the way we do things.

    So in my case - with just a bit more effort, I can turn my daily email into WAY more content with a wider reach!

    Moving forward this year, the plan is to not only produce a daily email, but Monday through Friday, I'm actually going to be expanding on the daily content by turning it into audio and video content as well!

    You’ll be able to find the Universal Man Daily on:
    Email
    YouTube
    Instagram
    Facebook
    Itunes
    Spotify
    Web

    But this isn't about me - it's about YOU!

    2020 is being hailed as one of the worst years ever.

    Let's make 2021 one of the best.

    You see, like myself, I'm confident that you have a tremendous amount of unused capacity that you are sitting on - all you need is a set of systems, tools and mentalities that will let you start converting all that stuff into gold.

    So here's the offer: I'm going to show up every day to try and help you UNLEASH YOUR APEX POTENTIAL.

    In fact, that idea is so core that I'm going to be changing the Universal Man tagline to that statement.

    As a bonus, if you take the phrase "Unleash Your Apex Potential" and turn it into an acronym you get "UYAP" - which is now the official warcry of the Universal Man Vanguard.

    I don't just want to unlock a little of our potential, I want to unleash it ALL.

    All you need to do is tune in and follow along.
