As an urban man the first rule you need to know is this : “YOU set the rules”. However, there’s a couple dos and don’ts you need to follow in order to enhance your style, way of thinking and your life in the process.

Being an urban man is more than just a label or a cool thing to say; it’s a way of life. From the way you think to the way you dress; there are dos and don’ts to follow religiously.
Today we will overview the ultimate dos and dont’s of the perfect urban man (and yeah you gon learn today buddy!)

1. Open-mindedness
Sometimes we reassure ourselves by sticking to what we know. Long term this can be very dangerous because we’re not receiving new information, ideas or point of views that could’ve been game changers.
Open-mindedness allows you to be in the loop because you don’t judge the messenger; you judge the message itself.
Open-mindedness allows you to see opportunities where people see obstacles and at the end this will give you an upper edge on anybody who quits when it gets tough.
2.The “Outside The Box” Factor
Similar to open-mindedness the “Outside The Box” factor is something you can’t neglect.
Society establishes norms and rules to follows and if you really take your time to dissect what extraordinary are made of; you realize that they all think outside of the box.
Dump the “Everybody Knows This” and trade it for “What If People Were Wrong?”. By questioning what you’ve accepted as common knowledge, you will find your own truth and learn to think for yourself.

3.Don’t Believe The Hype
You have to be a trendsetter at all cost. The mindset you set for yourself will eventually allow you to avoid the pitfall of following trends or doing what everybody else does.
This specifically applies to your daily style. Instead of camping outside for the hot releases that everybody will wear you should try to check for upcoming brands that deserve to be discovered instead!
Don’t believe us?! Is there anyone playing Pokémon Go these days?
4.Be Inspired But Do NOT Copy
In the 10 urban man commandments, this could be #1 as well!

5.Talk Less Do More
The digital world is phenomenal but I firmly believe that it stopped people from taking action in real life.
It’s funny how people can use 140 characters to explain what their plan is but they would rarely use 10 minutes of their day to get it done.
An urban man is doer not a talker!
6.Live & Learn (Not Always In The Same Order)
We have to lose this false perception that we can control everything in life. Whether you admit it or not sometimes “Life Happens“.
Even though we can’t control this chain of events we commonly call life, we can control the way we interpret and react to them.
As simplistic as it sounds, everything is a learning process. When something bad happened instead of beating yourself over it try to seek for what lesson you can get from this experience.
I mean literally force yourself to find something to learn from that experience in order to feel like at least you’ve gained something from it. The glass is either half full or half empty, you choose.
On my end, my ups and downs in my dating life allowed me to pinpoint the 20 Things I Wished I Never Wore On A 1st Date which turned our to be a great article years later!

7.Stay Fresh But Don’t Brag About The Price Tag
It all goes back to #3 but there’s a twist. People have the misconception that using high end products is a mark of success or taste when it’s not the case actually.
Taste is about knowing how to put things together in harmony while setting trends by making the world discover new things. Taste is also about recognizing what’s dope regardless of the price.
Even though it may seems crazy for some of our readers but a lot of the most effective outfits you see in magazines are coming straight for the local thrift shops and not Holt Renfrew.
8.Keep Your Style Clean & Your Mind Too
First impressions are the last and whoever told you the opposite was just trying to make you feel good (seriously).
Make sure your style fits your personality, what you want to project and adjust it for any kind of occasions.
When it comes to your mind, a perfect urban man knows how to keep himself away from his negative thoughts or ego.
Nobody likes an asshole anyway!
9.Believe In Your Greatness And Uplift Others
Self-confidence is the key but nothing beats the feeling of giving back and helping someone.
10. Eat, Sleep, Repeat
No matter what you do in life, you have to care of your health first. Your body is temple and without it none of those previous rules can apply.
Learn about how to stay fit, how to eat and live better. Sometimes we get so caught up in the routine of grinding and focusing on the future rather than the present moment.
Take care of yourself first and the rest will follow!

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.
