Navigating Your Quarter Life | QLC #001
I am a 24 year old living in Downtown Detroit, working a 100% commission challenging sales career, with a 5 year relationship, and a passion for writing. I have spent the better half of the past 5 years focusing on myself as an individual and it has paid major dividends today. The goal of QuarterLifeClub (QLC) is to give men, like me, a platform to share ideas and read about things we actually care about. Fashion, money, relationships, power, charisma, cooking, travelling, and masculinity as a concept today.
I believe the post graduate, twenty something male is judged on a harsher scale now than any time in history. We need to pass multiple tests and tick so many boxes to even be considered attractive. We need the high paying job, exceptional fashion, charismatic in groups, good jaw line, be in great shape, play nice with her friends, and be tough around his own. Without a combination of these things we are ignored. The key to becoming the best version of yourself is to etch out a period of time where self-improvement is the only goal.
I also believe that every single guy has serious potential. Potential that for some reason was suppressed. The issue lies in the fact that our lives are comfortable, we have all found our “original niche” and refuse to open up to our potential out of fear of judgement and rejection. We have our foundation set but many of us fail to build upon it. Today men are fragile and paralyzed, I aim to resonate with readers and fix that.
Your quarter life is complicated, everyone is on a different path and you’re probably not confident in your own. Social media makes you feel inferior when watching friends get engaged or travel the world. Your family asks questions about your relationship. You feel the pressure of your finances and whether you’re doing enough. Your clothes don’t fit. Complicated.
You know how we aspire to be like the men from TV and movies? Don Draper, Tommy Shelby, Jordan Belfort, Bruce Wayne… Deep down we all want to be these men because they are so confident in who they are as individuals. We want to pick and choose the best attributes from each of them. Reality is, the window to do this is now. Your potential and most confident self is ready. The foundation is set and you’ve got all of the tools to begin building.
This series will focus on the major categories I mentioned and give you a reason to stand up to the fear of judgement and rejection. We all want to live extraordinary lives, now is the time to become extraordinary yourself.
