Why 80% of Men Feel Lost at Work: The 3-Part Foundation That Changes Everything

Ever feel like you're running hard but getting nowhere? You're not broken – you're just missing the foundation that turns effort into excellence. Without clear core values guiding your decisions, you're essentially driving cross-country without a map, burning fuel but never reaching your destination.

The Three-Part Foundation That Changes Everything
Vision: Your North Star – where you're headed
Mission: Your roadmap – the steps to get there
Core Values: Your guardrails – the daily decisions that keep you on track

Dr. Dave Jones, founder of one of the world's largest Christian marketing agencies and former pro hockey player, breaks down why 80% of people feel disengaged at work and don't trust management. The answer isn't more motivation – it's more clarity.

From Confusion to Clarity: The Vision Problem
There are three problems with vision: you don't have it, you don't believe it, or you're not communicating it. Bill Gates said "a computer in every home" when computers were the size of houses. FedEx aimed to be "in every city every day" when only USPS existed. These weren't realistic – they were visionary.

• Learn why excellence beats perfection every time
• Discover the biblical principle behind writing your vision down
• Understand how repetition, not talent, creates expertise

The FLAP That Stops Your Progress
What really sabotages high-achieving men? Dr. Dave reveals the four internal enemies that derail even the most driven individuals:

• Fear: The kind that cripples instead of protects
• Lust: Not just sexual, but possession-based desire for more stuff
• Anger: When someone gets between you and where you think you need to go
• Pride: The inability to be agile when circumstances change

The Growth Mindset vs. Fixed Mindset Battle
Michael Jordan didn't say he never failed – he said he never made mistakes, only learning opportunities. That's the difference between men who plateau and men who keep ascending. Your core values aren't about being perfect; they're about having clear boundaries for your daily decisions.

Why Most Men Stay Stuck
• Discover why comparing yourself to others guarantees failure
• Learn the 10,000-hour rule and why you're closer than you think
• Understand why your current friend group might be holding you back
• Master the art of saying no without feeling guilty
