A common perception and belief nowadays, is that the current set of global systems and structures have been created from masculine energy, based on control and greed. Men in leadership roles who are truly aligned with their soul’s purpose are now beginning to realize that as they  evolve internally, so will the rest of the world.

Greg Gillies is the founder of The Evolved CEO. As a husband, father of 3, life and business coach, and digital marketing expert, he understands the pressures and demands of married businessmen in the entrepreneurial space. He shares, “We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders, as we work hard to build a successful life while supporting family, friends, staff, colleagues, and clients, usually leaving us energetically drained with lack of time for ourselves.”

While Greg experienced a lot of material success in both the corporate and entrepreneurial world over the course of 20+ years, on the inside he still felt like something was missing. After hitting rock bottom in 2016, when he suffered extreme burnout and a breakdown, this led him to the start of his deep internal journey of healing and self-discovery, which he found was the missing piece of the puzzle in his life at that time.

A Paradigm Shift In Masculinity And Masculine Energy

Married businessmen who are extremely driven, are constantly consumed by their egoic minds’ pursuit of success to seek love, happiness, approval and validation, above all else.

Greg shares, “The paradigm shift in masculinity and masculine energy is for men to flip the script and pursue internal happiness, self-love, self-respect and reconnect with their spiritual energy, to become a multi-dimensional man, who evolves from his inside world versus his outside world”.

The 3 Stages Of Success And Living Out Your Soul’s Purpose

True success is finding and living out your soul’s purpose. Greg defines it in 3 stages.

Stage 1 – Internal success. Finding true internal happiness, connection, self-respect, and self-love, by removing limiting beliefs, programs, conditions, influences, energetic blocks and restrictions, keeping you stuck in your egoic mind. The younger you are when you do this work, the more success you experience in life.

Stage 2 – Inner circle of influence success. This includes your family, wife, children, business, staff, colleagues, friends, and community. As a leader, it is your responsibility to create financial success, security and time freedom to be the role model your inner circle needs you to be. This stage is extremely hard and painful if you haven’t heavily invested in stage 1.

Stage 3 – Outer circle of influence success. This is your soul’s purpose which is greater than your personal success. It means to be of service, create positive impact and contribute to humanity. The greatest success is living out your soul’s higher purpose, but you will never truly have the time and financial freedom to do this, and experience the euphoria of this stage, if you don’t embody stages 1 and 2.

Greg believes that coupled with a strong work ethic, internal contentment and external alignment is key. He is directly focused on taking successful influential married businessmen through a deep healing, alignment and spiritual awakening process that enables this paradigm shift so they can lead with a new masculine energy that contributes to human evolution.
