Before you set goals...learn how to schedule success. This means carefully choosing from your Calendar of Choices what you will and will not do. Often our choices go beyond good and bad choices. They are more commonly made between good, better, and best. Before you change jobs, careers, or make any life changing decisions...you must first learn the "Formula for Success."

There are five simple stepping stones for success we will discuss and go over in greater detail during this 8 week long live course:

I personally suggest buying all of the books on Amazon.

Here is the outline for this 8 week life skills coaching program:

Week 1: DISCOVER WHO YOU ARE (GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF) and learning who you can and will become. – Students write out an entire page describing who they are, including their beliefs, talents, interests, and who they would like to be. This is the discovery process where we have an honest conversation with ourselves about who have been, who we currently are, and who we would like to be and become one day. 

Week 2: WHAT IS MY PERSONAL MISSION IN LIFE? WHAT IS MY LIFE PLAN? Describe the “You” you want to Be! – Students discuss and find out what their own personal mission in life is and what they feel, at this moment, they would like to do to make a difference in their home, their community, and their life. Discovering or realizing what their personal mission in life is, helps them to have a better understanding of what they would like to do for a career, what lifestyle they would like to have, and what their purpose in life is and will be. It gives them a sense of direction, and an outline of what they personally feel they can do to contribute to life.

Week 3: Formula for success (1. Dream, 2. Plan and Prepare, 3. Go to work) – You learn about GOING FOR YOUR GOALS (students are taught what goals are, how to create their own Dream Map, and create Macro and Micro goals they will accomplish TODAY, this week, month, and year). The daily and weekly timelines (scheduling success) help you prioritize and place importance on which aspirations and goals you will focus on FIRST.  

Week 4: Positively Positive Thinking Power (why thinking positively is so powerful!) – Students learn about how their thoughts and words affect them and those around them. Students create a “SELF TALK” Statement of Positivity for themselves that they can read each day for one month, to remind them how wonderful they are.

Week 5: Learning: 1. Skills, 2. Principles, and 3. Values by developing: 1. Good Habits, 2. Self Discipline, 3. A Moral Compass. After accomplishing our Formula for Success (1. Dream, 2 Plan and Prepare, and 3 Go to Work!), we must then increase our ability by developing skills, following correct principles, and determining which values we will implement into our lives on a daily basis. By developing skills, following correct principles, and deciding which values we will live by each day, we must learn good habits, self discipline, and maintain our own guiding moral compass. This will not only give us direction, focus, and clarity, it will help us envision who we were born to be. We will become that individual because we already are successful, we just need to give ourselves permission to see ourselves in a brighter light of hope, peace, and positivity.

Week 6: The Power of Knowledge - Reading for life! Students receive a list of 100 books I personally believe everyone should read. Students also receive an additional list of 100+ books to read that have been compiled by others (I personally have not read all of these suggested books, but I am reading as many of them as I can as well). The students are encouraged to create their own list as well and set their own reading goals. One goal we establish is that they will read at least one book per week for the rest of their lives. If they can read more than one book, all the better, but we emphasize reading at least one book per week - every week. We talk about the importance of scheduling reading time and how to make time for our own personal development, improvement, and overall success in life.

Week 7: Identifying Personal Strengths and Weaknesses (how to make your strengths stronger and turn your weaknesses into strengths). This is the time to break free from your weaknesses. Our weaknesses are essentially gifts and opportunities for growth and change. Our failures are some of the greatest stepping stones toward success we could ever be given in life. We must learn how to befriend failure and see our missteps, mistakes, and misguided mayhem in life as a personal asset and strength. Our weakness becomes our strength and we continually become stronger (spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially). We can learn to assess and re-assess what is and is not working in our lives. We all fall short of the person we want to be. We always will. We all feel, at times, as if we don’t measure up — and we all have moments where we honestly don’t. We are better than that, and can turn our weaknesses into great strengths!

Week 8: Learning and Living by VIRTUES (students discuss which virtues they personally would like to live by and set goals about focusing on daily virtues throughout the year). A list of virtues is provided and students can select which virtues they would like to work on each day, during the week, each month, and throughout the year. This focus on “Living by Virtues” will change the way we see the world and how we act, what we think, how we speak, and what we choose to do each day. As we continue to focus on virtues day by day, we will see our lives changing because we are changing. This will empower us to be the best version of ourselves, and as we are empowered, we will be able to empower others with greater peace and positivity.

In the next 8 weeks, we will go over lessons to learn, how to begin dream mapping your way toward accomplishing your goals, discovering who you are and who you can become, and much more. I'm excited for everyone to start their steps toward success TODAY!
