We explore being proactive, positive, responsible and in control. We discuss what is success and what a makes a great life. We look at what makes a good habit. We then discuss the Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Belief, the Law of Expectation, the Law of Attraction, the Law of Correspondence, the Law of Concentration and the Law of Substitution. The overall message is “we become what we think about” and if you change your thinking, you can change your life.

Goal setting is the master skill of success. Writing out goals is one of the most important things we can do. Yet, less than 3% of people have ever taken the time to write out their lifetime goals. We discuss the importance of goal setting and value of writing down goals. We discuss how to develop major goals, a “major definite purpose” and corresponding detailed plans of action. We will do some exercises in which participants can write out their goals and action plans. We then show how the same personal goal setting methodology can be used effectively for professional goal setting for businesses and government, otherwise known as strategic planning.
