PROGRAM INFORMATION

CHASE YOUR DREAMS

Chase Your Dreams
Get more out of life with this internationally known goal setting and action seminar. Accomplish more, learn more, and earn more. Live life more fully. Learn how to not only set goals but how to achieve them. Goal setting is an area with which most everyone is somewhat familiar. Many people feel well-versed in this area while others are quite uncomfortable with both the thought and the process. Ask anyone today where they’re going and how they plan to get there, and chances are they don’t know. Today, we live in a microwave, throw-away, live-for-the-moment society. If personal or business goals are achieved, it is often accomplished by accident. The future promises more uncertainty. As a result, many people will feel overwhelmed and out of control. They’ll wander aimlessly because they don’t know how to set goals or make progress toward them. When you know how to set and achieve your goals, you’re in charge of your life … you determine the direction in which you’ll sail. This goal setting seminar can help you take control of your personal and professional life—attitude, relationships, time management, health and fitness, communication, and finances—so that you determine where you’re going.

REMOTE CONTROL ATTITUDE

Remote Control Attitude
Too often, we act like we have a remote for life. Heck, it is easy to sit on the sofa and talk about and wish about changing. The point remains that you are the only one who can make those changes. There are no short cuts. There is only effort, failure, and repetition. Your life will only change when you get up off your butt and start changing it.

COMMUNICATE WITH ATTITUDE

Communicate with Attitude
From the day you were born, you’ve depended on the ability to communicate. Somewhere between that first cry for breath and yesterday’s babbling, the process has changed. You now live in a world full of clutter, confusion, and information overload. With each step forward in technology, you seem to take a step back from others. More often than not, the inability to communicate effectively leaves you sitting on the sidelines watching others put points on the board and ultimately money in the bank. Success comes to people not because they are smarter or more talented than you, but because they can communicate their ideas clearly. Virtually every facet of your personal and professional life hangs more on the ability to communicate than on any other learnable skill. It has never been more important than now to present a clear message.
