This is not therapy and we are not trained therapists. We are coaches.
Is it better? That depends on you. It’s different. 
When you do this work in a group setting, it automatically carries out differently. Think of it like a team sport. Trying to take the field by yourself makes it tough to overcome the obstacles you face. But when your team and coaches are all there, working towards the same goal, getting the strategy right, and doing the work, it becomes easier, stronger, fluid.

Speaking from experience, that aspect alone is one of the greatest feelings in the world as a man; knowing my teammates not only want me to win but have my back. And hey, if you’ve never played team sports, now you’ll get a taste of what it’s like—minus the locker room smell.

However, this is training, not therapy. So we’ll support you in uncovering what might hold you back and at the same time, we’ll support and challenge you to do something about it, to implement the learnings and take action on creating the change you need and want.

Here’s the view of one of our students, Phil: “Counselling and therapy helped me see the things I was doing wrong but didn’t so much give me the tools to do something about it. This has taught me so much about how to see and use those tools to great effect.“

Ha! Yes, you’re gonna be talking about feelings, but you’ll also be learning strategies and tactics for managing what you feel in a healthy, sensible way. As I said, we like to keep things balanced.

But we go way beyond talking about how you feel. We understand how to manage and graduate your emotions, we learn how to listen to them to respond and act differently. Plus, ultimately, we support you in understanding your shit so you can move out from under its thumb and go beyond it. Stronger than it and ready for what life has available to you. Some of that will involve you diving into uncomfortable feelings. But, as stated, we’ll be there at your back to support you, help you make sense of it all, and grab your arm in boosting you to the next level should you need it.

In short – no. While it might seem like you might “get more individualised and focused coaching” in 1-1, you miss out on so much from the group and community element. It’s one of the reasons I – Mike – don’t offer 1-1 outside of my INNER CIRCLE, because most of the growth guys want and need comes via the group setting.

That and this: a lot of guys who want 1-1 are actually unsure about what a group program is or what it will ask of them, and so become doubtful – or shit fucking terrified – of actually addressing their shit and being seen in a group environment by other men, like they might be judged, seen as wrong, useless, incompetent or like they’re not enough of a man. These are all real fears but all false realities. You are welcomed in by supportive dudes who soon become like best mates, who are on their own project and want to see you get out from behind your shit and win. 

Having said that – depending on the program you join, there is loads of actual individualised support and coaching. ELA itself has considerable 1-1 elements, from exclusive coaching calls and in-depth and thorough manual support (we give you immense notes, feedback, and coaching written down and saved in your manual forever).
There is, however, the possibility of joining Mike’s ‘ZEUS Inner Circle’ – which is extremely limited capacity and only possible via personal conversation. Ask Mike if this is suitable for you.

The easy, sales-y answer would be “as committed as you want, mate!” but that’s not what we’re about. You’ve got the content for life, but we want you there. We want you to show up as often as possible. If you can manage 2-3 hours a week, you’ve got this.

To be honest, you wouldn’t be reading this if you weren’t someone the men in the ELA could believe in. So, think about this for a moment: can you believe it’s possible for a future version of you to commit and follow through on something like this, something that will be wonders for you? If yes, that’s all you need! If no, well you need a team in your corner, stat – who WILL believe in you and commit to you.

Bottom line – you need to be able to prioritise time and/or be willing to be held accountable to doing so. Having a team in your corner helps monumentally with both calling BS on the excuses that are just that, and in actually getting done what needs to be done. In short: accountability is irreplaceable in terms of following through on our commitments. Something you just can’t get when you try and muddle through this work all by yourself.

Take as long as you like, mate. The work material is yours forever! However, each module does have a specific length, ranging from 2 to 3 to 4 weeks depending on the module. That is your general guide for each module. Roughly one lecture a week, complete with exercises and challenges to support the implementation and your growth. but yeah, lifetime access to the content (and community).

100% online. The content lives on a platform called Kajabi while the community lives on Mighty Networks. We also use Google Drive and Google Docs for manuals and saving other files.

While the course spans 6 months, the *rough* time commitment is around 2-3 hours a week to complete. 

Good question, brother! I remember when some of this stuff was like a foreign language to me. But that’s now part of my skill set; simplifying this stuff, so it’s easy to understand and do. The main thing for you to remember is this: if you want to have a better life and become the best man you can be, an everyday legend, then you can definitely do this – especially with support.

Yes and no. no tasters – that’s the secret sauce, dude! But yes, you can find out the details – that starts with a mini-coaching and strategy call with Mike to explore you and make sense of what’s going on in your world so Mike can get a clear understanding of where you’re at, support you with some simple clarity, and get clear on if ELA is for you. From there, if it seems so, then a second call will be scheduled to go into all the details and answer any questions you have to see if this is the solution for you.

You can be located anywhere for this course. Just do the work when it works for your schedule. The group calls and live Q&A’s all work to a calendar that you get access to so you can plan and schedule and make sure you can get on what you can. Plus all calls are recorded which you get access to. Basically, unless you live in the most remote place on earth, you got this and we got you.

There sure are. Which plan depends on which program you join – ELA proper or the Development Academy. All of those options including which course, are for a discussion with Mike so you can see what is going to be the best fit for you. Book a call and get started with the conversation. You could be the next guy sharing epic words about your experience on this very page.

Can you say “all the time”? You’ll have access to our exclusive community hosted on Mighty Networks to ask Mike, the other coaches, teammates and grads in the community your questions, share your progress and learnings. As well as weekly coaching calls for all support and questions we have weekly live Q&As for just that.  In short, there is no shortage of places and capability to ask questions. We show you how to utilise the community for this as well – that way, other guys (who I GUARANTEE will have the same question) can also benefit from the discussion. This also means that following along and communicating about it there will allow you to benefit from other guys’ questions too.

Shit yes, you can! Keep in mind that ‘starting now’ means starting the possibility of enrolment. No spots are guaranteed, as it is vital that you are suitable for ELA and that we think we have a full and remarkable solution for you. That’s why EVERY guy joining the world of ELA first starts with a conversation with Mike. He (hi, that’s me) wants to be extremely confident this can be THE solution for you like it has been for so many men before you.
