Sub: Motivation for the Gentleman Wolf

Lifestyle design.
It's a cool, hip marketing term to describe people who make money without a job.
But everybody designs their own lifestyle.
The cubicle nerd, the QC manager, the HR assistant, the IT guy.
All of them made their choice.
They were at A and decided to go to B.
The idea being that they can go from A-B, from B-C, from C-D.
Step by step all the way until they are “comfortable.”
Well listen here, I decided to skip all those un-necessary steps.
I went from A-Z and didn't bother asking permission.
In hip marketing terms I'm a lifestyle designer.
Can everybody do what I can do?
Of course not, and it's stupid to suggest “well, if everybody did that the world would stop.”
Listen, not everybody can do it. Not everybody will do it.
You know why? Most people lack the ability, the creativity, the je ne sais quoi, the balls.
Most people are just….normal people.
And they'll live normal lives. Good for them.
They can have their Facebooks and their Walmarts and their televisions.
But Bold and Determined isn't for normal people.
Bold and Determined is for the men who aspire for higher.
The Gentlemen Wolves who require better and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to get what they require.
When I was a little kid I learned a very important lesson.
I learned that if you accept humiliation you will get humiliation.
And I learned that if you have a money making skill you can walk away from anything without a care in the world.
One day my father came home and he was laughing about how he had quit his job that day.
The boss man had tried to give him some grief and my dad said “kiss my ass” and he came home laughing about it.
He was a craftsman, he could find a new job within hours, he knew it, and he wouldn't take shit from anybody.
When a normal person is humiliated by the boss he won't say “kiss my ass” and walk away laughing.
What he will do is accept the humiliation and then when he gets home he will start with “when I have ‘Fuck you' money I'm gonna tell my boss where to stick it!”
This is the normal way of rationalizing and accepting defeat, failure and humiliation.
These people, normal people, will never have “Fuck you” money because they accept defeat in the moment and talk big later when they feel safe.
Timid when it counts and big when it doesn't count.
But…
To have “Fuck you” money you must first develop “Fuck you” ability.
What is “Fuck you” ability?
It's two-fold:
- Having the ability to say “Fuck you” in the moment, not wait until later to tell your wife, girlfriend or the internet about it. The ability to never accept humiliation.
- Having the ability to make money independently of any job, employer or corporation. The skill of making money without begging.
So how do you develop “Fuck you” ability?
So sorry to say, friend, but if you're a normal person you don't. It won't happen.
Normal men don't have the discipline, drive, desire or determination.
But…
If you're an extraordinary man, a Gentleman Wolf, you develop this ability by working for it.
So sorry to give you the hard answer, but it doesn't come easy. It takes time and effort but it stays with you for a lifetime.
If the ability exists within you all you have to do is let it come out.
Let yourself aspire for higher.
Let yourself be the better man.
Let yourself rise above the level of those other animals.
Let yourself embrace success, and not fear it like so many of your peers do.
They'll hate you for it…
But it would be a lot worse if you were accepted as one of them.
For the Gentleman Wolf here is an idea…
Find what you enjoy and let it empower you.
Let it become your obsession.
Let yourself say fuck you to everything else.
What is your other option?
Your other option is to be a normal man.
…but that's not a real option.
That's surrender.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride

Here is the audio only.
Classic B&D condensed in a single post. Wanna go deeper? Just read all of the other posts in this website.
Thanks Vic, nice to see that articles keep coming. I love the podcast, but written articles are the real meat for me.
Same. Podcasts are cool, but these articles are the real reason I go to B&D.
Classic B&D right here.
Beautiful.
I miss this from B&D. I love the new stuff too, but this is magic.
Hello victor,
Another great piece filled with inspiration and truth. I was wondering of you have heard of DAN PENA and of so what are your on him and his way of life. I think you both are similar with your no whining, no bullshit attitude towards life. Also, last year you had made a post about youtubes that kind of fall under the radar and are not as popular as others but have great content. Check out jerry brainum’s youtube channel. He has 5 decades of bodybuilding and nutrition knowledge that is easy to follow and understand and not so technical ots boring or unusable. What jeff cavaliere is to exercise jerry brainum is to the nutritional, science side of bodybuilding.
Have a good week, TIM
Yo Victor Pride great to see you again !
Excellent empowering video YET again !
The moment to start is NOW and take action on your dreams and deciding to stop settle for less enough with the BS and get your ass into gear!
ONLY then can you really develop the FU mentality! Only you can determine your destiny!
“They’ll hate you for it…
But it would be a lot worse if you were accepted as one of them.”
This is the golden DNA of B&D compiled into one single post. Spellbinding.
Closely resembles Dan Lok and Tim Ferriss.
Pure Gold
Ooooooooowwwl
This is what I was waiting for.
Old post but still what I need!
More of this Vic! I like it better than the conspiracy stuff!
Gold gold gold!
I like the choice of music and background. It evokes a spiritual and folk-like feel, a nostalgia for a culture and era that has long since past, that has reemerged in a new way via this video. Very captivating.

The difference between a “fuck you” money person vs fuck my life person…..
lies in the ability to even eat his own shit if he has to … to survive AND LATER thrive
where else a fuck my life person will gladly eat other people’s shit just to survive, rinse and repeat…
Even at the verge of rock bottom, being able to eat your own diarrhea …. vs licking other people’s dingleberry and being satisfied with that…
When the whole world is against you, mock you, laugh at you, ostracize you, call you names, spit on you, … You still stand strong and say… “FUCK YOU” This is me and I’m ME… come get me… I’m who I am and I make NO APOLOGY for it whatsoever. I want what I want and I will do ANYTHING to go after what I want… even at life and death situation, this STILL does not change.
Are you Man enough to climb the mountain knowing that you will die at the process or be timid sheep who will refuse to even take first step because you are waiting for someone to show you first step and hand you the map in silver platter. Not going to happen.
You learn from the greatest here and there,… piece by piece until you put two to two together and put all the puzzle pieces together, and with your experience and attempt, through many failures, experiment, trials and errors, and learning from other people’s mistake, and doing whatever you can to succeed and you TASTE your own sweat, blood, (no tears because men don’t cry)… so you taste your sweat and blood and you still enjoy the process… that’s when you know you are closer to success….
IF YOU CAN ENJOY the PROCESS just as much as the success point … and you even enjoy the process more, YOU WILL SUCCEED. It’s only matter of time.
Thank you
I love the old-school B&D style. Great message!
Hey Vic,
what’s your take on cryptocurrency? Do you think it is a bankster invention do kill cash or is it a real alternative to the banking system?
DOPE.
Hi uncle,
u should create a new course:
30 Days Of Obsession
also, u should create a audio upsell for all your courses.
Greetingsfrom Canada. Followed Body of A Spartan for 3 years. In highschool, I was the strongest person out of 2,100 kids. I would hit the gym hard and have immense pleasure with every pump.
I have attained a very close body to a spartan physique, I no longer enjoy going to the gym, it feels like a chore now, what do you recommend to do to stay fit?
hey Vic, like ur web
What’s your advice wearing,I am sick of colorful clothes and shit hype, theses days man are so silly for their sissy outfits.
How can I dress and boost as a real man not that kind girly
Peace
This is AWESOME! Best one in a while. Love the video and the music. Always love how you don’t beat around the bush and tell it like it is. Too many people want to make piles of money without taking the time to put the work in and develop the ability to do so. Man this gets me going today. Thanks Vic! Always know I can count on B&D for the information and motivation I need.
