So something that I see a lot of people ask in response to my ‘Five things a man should never have to do’ video is what is my idea of a man handling business. Understand clearly that that is going to look differently for every man, for every family situation, for every relationship. So, I will only speak to situations that are relevant to mine. So, it’s a man who has children and is living with his woman. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re married, that just means they have children, they have real grown-up bills, and he has a woman that he is responsible for, whether that’s girlfriend or wife, preferably, a wife. But, for me, a man about his business means he’s operating in his purpose.
That man knows exactly what he is put on this earth to do. He has found a career that is fulfilling to him. He is working every day to build a legacy for his children and the family that he has held himself responsible for. A man in his business, and in his purpose is going to be led by God, or some kind of higher being that holds him accountable for treating people well. A man that is handling business is most likely not cheating. Just because you have an option to cheat does not mean that you will cheat, because a man who’s handling business has self-discipline.
This man takes his family seriously because he understands what he puts that woman through, how his children are being treated, how his house is being provided for, is a direct reflection of the type of man he is and how serious he is. And a man that is about his business does not play it by his last name. He does not play it by his bloodline, and he is not interested in having a lot of illegitimate children running through the world. He is not interested in the streets talking about him. He is not interested in making his woman look stupid, being a bad example for his children, because he’s about his business.
When it comes to the money aspect, that’s going to look differently. A man that is about his business is going to want to provide, but the reality is, in today’s world, everybody got to work. But this man is going to be sure that he is paying a majority. This man is going to be sure that his wife/girlfriend is not stressed about making as much money as she can because he’s going to be focused on making as much money as he can because he knows he’s got a whole household to handle. He is there to lead, protect, and provide, and be the best example of what a real grown mature man can be for his family.
