Values Clarification Framework
Most men chase success defined by others. Values-aligned decisions unlock genuine satisfaction and 60% more decision confidence.

Scientific Foundation
Multi-year research tracking career professionals shows that values-career alignment predicts 40% higher job satisfaction and 25% better performance outcomes independent of salary, title, or industry. The research reveals that most high-performers pursue goals defined by social conditioning rather than authentic values—explaining why external success often feels hollow. The protocol produces measurable clarity within 2-3 weeks.

The Values Clarification Protocol
Four exercises to identify your core values through gut feeling and life experience—not abstract thinking.
The Emotion Test
- Read these values slowly: Freedom, Family, Excellence, Integrity, Adventure, Impact, Autonomy, Growth
- Notice which words create an immediate physical response—tension, warmth, or energy
- Write down the 5-7 that made you feel something
- These aren't intellectual choices—your body knows your values
Peak Moment Analysis
- Think of the moment in your life when you felt most alive—most yourself
- What were you doing? Who were you with? What made it powerful?
- Identify which value was being honored in that moment
- That's a core value—it energizes you at the deepest level
The Regret Test
- Recall a decision you regret—one that still bothers you
- You likely violated a core value for external reasons (money, status, approval)
- Name the value you compromised: "I chose X over [value]"
- Values you regret violating are non-negotiable for you
Legacy Filter
- Imagine your son at 25 asking: "What mattered most to you?"
- What 3 values would you want him to inherit from watching your life?
- These are your deepest values—what you want to stand for
- If you're not living them now, that's the misalignment you feel
3-Week Implementation Protocol
Fast-track to values clarity and immediate decision improvement.
Discovery
Complete all four exercises. List your 5-7 resonant values. Notice which ones showed up multiple times across different tests. Your top 3-5 should be obvious by patterns.
Testing
Apply your values to one pending decision. For each option, gut-check: which values does this honor vs. violate? The right choice becomes immediately clearer.
Integration
Review last 3 major decisions through values lens. Identify the pattern—where you honor values, you feel satisfied. Where you violated them, you feel regret. Now you have your compass.
Practical Application
Simple tools to use your values for actual decisions—not theory.
