Individual Sovereignty and Response Ability

Individual sovereignty and response-ability is the foundation of everything. What does individual sovereignty mean to you? What does it mean to be response-able? What it means to us is that we embrace, we accept, we acknowledge our sovereignty as individuals, first and foremost.

Committed to Continuing a Lifelong Education

Nothing happens, nothing changes and nothing is possible until you make a commitment to action. This requires an act of will. You must make a commitment to continuing a lifelong education and be willing to complete this course. Those who hesitate or procrastinate have little chance of being successful.

You must commit to be willing to learn with an open mind. Release all your prejudices and preconceptions for the next twelve hours and listen intently. There may be information here that you have never heard before or that shocks you, and other information that may contradict what you presently believe. This is okay, don’t fight it, remain calm and allow it to be. We’re not here to tell you what you think or believe, but to teach you how to think for yourself.

You must be willing to make mistakes, even fail. It’s not the failure that stops us, but when we give up and don’t learn from our mistakes. You’ll be on a steep learning curve, but what an exhilarating ride!

Recognizing Your Purpose and Calling

Some people are born with a clear purpose or calling, and others must search one out. Some are very successful in fulfilling their purpose while others die without ever really knowing why they lived.

So what is your purpose and calling? What gives you the most joy? What are you most excited and passionate about? What innate skills and talents have you developed, that can best benefit yourself and others in service? What project and business ideas have you developed that could serve human needs, wants or aspirations and be brought to market?

Besides recognizing your purpose and calling, you must assess the strength of your commitment and desire to manifest, have the patience to develop a plan of action, and the courage to implement it.

In today’s busy world full of distractions, it’s easy to get off-purpose. It takes a strong focus of will to stay on purpose long enough to realize your dreams. One goal of success education is to be very clear at identifying and organizing your purpose or calling in life, then to develop a project or business around it.

Being in Contribution and Service

As long as we are still struggling to make ends meet, to pay the bills, then our attention is not directed to our highest purpose. All human beings desire at their innermost core to leave a legacy, to be loved and remembered, to give of their talents and to be in contribution and service to others. Once you recognize your purpose or calling, then giving to others is a natural extension of what you do, above and beyond your basic survival needs. The best way to serve the poor is, to not be one of them.

You do not have to be rich to be in contribution and service. Nor do we have to wait. Everyone beyond their basic survival needs has the capacity to give something to others, without expecting something in return. Giving back builds character and serves the soul. Giving back creates a circulation of energy that enhances the quality of life for all. The gift is always coming back to you. You don’t have to be in control.

Another goal of success education is to identify ways that you can be in contribution and joyfully circulate resources, energy and wealth to others.

Being in Meaningful Relationships

It’s impossible to avoid being in relationship and be alive. We are in relationship with everything we know, even everything we don’t know.

These relationships can involve people, organizations, networks, and information systems; both visible and invisible that is connected in some way through communication. With regards to people, some of these relationships are personal, others are impersonal. Some are purely professional or work-related. Others are very intimate and familiar. Relationships are either short-term or long-term in duration. We are always at choice in relationship, whether we are aware of it or not. Another goal of success education is to be in meaningful relationships. Since we’re always in relationship anyway we might just as well get good at it.

Mastering the Art of Communications

In the communications age being an active listener who has a serious interest in the concerns of other people is more important than ever. People talk, but who is listening. Too often we’re bombarded with information, but there is no true communications. True communications is person-to-person, and involves more than a one-way monologue, a sales pitch or information transfer. True communications means, “to share.” This implies a two-way transfer of information, personal or impersonal. This is communications with a human face. No machine or computer in the world can ever or will ever replace it.

Without communications, energy does not move effectively. If you control the communications systems, then you control the movement of energy. Communication is what creates circulation and exchange in all economies. Communications is the basis for all meaningful relationships.

Today, technology and computers coordinate most communication. Machines often get between people instead of facilitating true communication.

Another goal of success education is to facilitate true communications on the personal, interpersonal, managerial, organizational, community, regional, national and global levels. Our goal is to teach people how to master the art of communications.

Being a Great Networker

If we have meaningful relationships and true communications, then great networking can happen on an unprecedented scale. Being a great networker in the larger sense, not just a network marketer involves the ability to access people, information and resources that are relevant to your own endeavors, or whatever project or business you may be developing. Great networking creates lasting relationships and opportunities that are not dependent upon money, wealth or status. Great networking also connects people to people.

Being a great networker is an essential skill in the communications age. Great networking is a gift we give each other. Another goal of success education is to teach people how be effective networkers and create opportunities everywhere, like magic out of thin air.

Our goal is to teach people how to become great networkers

Being a Leader

Being a leader has its own challenges. You have to be willing to show up and be seen, to make mistakes, to take risks and share the rewards, to take individual responsibility for the consequences of your actions, and to detach oneself from the approval or disapproval of others. You must be able to encourage leadership in others, to mobilize the creative talents of your organization or community, and be willing to be the leader.

Being a leader is about understanding basic principles, demonstrating ethical behavior, and implementing the underlying dynamics of human and business development.

As you might imagine, leadership can mean different things to different people. But what it means to us is this – that leadership includes being committed to our own continual growth and education, expanding our roles and responsibilities in our home, work and business life, as well as our role in the world around us.

All successful people are leaders. Leaders step out and make the trends that others follow. Leaders invent and innovate where others fear to tread. Leaders walk the road less traveled. Leaders are able to be themselves more fully and are confident and secure in themselves. Leaders are not born, but made.

Our goal is to teach people leadership skills they can apply throughout their lives.

Being Creative

Is it not the inherent nature of a child to be creative, to live in a fantasy world of imagination? As adults, we still have the same capacity as a child to be creative in the real world. So much creative talent is devoted to producing films, movies and entertainment. As mature adults, we can apply high levels of creativity in our professional work, associations and relationships.

That many of us have stifled our creativity and adopted beliefs that we are not good enough, or that others might not approve, must be overcome. To stimulate the imagination, to facilitate the unleashing of your creative potential, and teach you about the creative cycle, are important components of a successful life. Another goal of success education is to release and empower your imagination, to unleash your creative potential, and to become what we dream.

Being A Producer in the Economic System

Why are people referred to as consumers and taxpayers by the media and politicians, instead of producers and Citizens deserving of respect? It’s not the means to go shopping that makes you successful; any more than paying taxes makes you a good citizen.

The key to unlock the door to success is whether or not you have embodied the principles outlined in this course as your new operating system, and shifts your identity from that of being a consumer and taxpayer, to that of being a producer in the economic system. This is what really matters. For in truth, the producers are the most powerful component of any economic system, not the government, and certainly not the consumers or taxpayers.

If you become a producer in the economic system you won’t have to chase money, because the money will chase you. Another goal of success education is for everyone to become producers in the economic system.
