Quarterly Study Plan

As we near the end of July, have you started thinking about your fourth quarter studies?  Are you going to study something specific to Thanksgiving or Christmas?  When was the last time you read about the Pilgrims, Plymouth Rock, or The Mayflower Compact?

What about the Reformation?  I know, as a culture, we have sold out to celebrating the pagan holiday of Halloween, but October 31 is Reformation.  The celebration of Christians breaking away from the tyranny of the Catholic Church.

And Christmas, my favorite time of year.  There is so much around Christmas to help us stay grounded in the true meaning of this blessed holiday.  From God's Word to Dickens to all the great activities available at this time of year.  Will you be attending a live nativity somewhere?  What about a horse-drawn sleigh/carriage ride?  What are some of your favorite Christmas carols?

As July comes to a close next week, it is not too early to start planning your fourth quarter.  Plan your studies to maximize your effectiveness.  Keep up the great work.

Restore the Republic

On this Independence Day weekend, it's a great time to take a serious look at our country, and ourselves.  We can all identify a dozen different problems facing our country right now.  What is your solution?  Are you one of millions blaming the politicians?  Is your answer, "If somebody would just..."?   Do you really believe that Washington is the problem, and that Washington can solve the problem?

If the last three questions identify you, then you are part of the problem.  Very few of the problems we face are rooted in Washington D.C.  All of the problems we face are rooted within the homes of America.  The root causes of our current decline are:  little, to no, parental involvement in the education of  their children; too few adults engaged in a leadership education themselves;  too many people worshiping anything as God, except for the One True God;  too many people that have chosen ease and comfort over sacrifice and freedom/liberty.

There are probably many more that we could discuss, but I think that's plenty to get the conversation started.  Ultimately, the root of all our problems is that as a nation we have turned our backs on the Lord God Almighty, and have embraced satan's empty promises of ease and pleasure.  What we need is for the men and women of this nation to turn back to God, and become Godly entrepreneurs, husbands, wives, parents, and community leaders.  This doesn't happen through any kind of legislation.  This happens by men and women rejecting the lies of Satan and the world; by being baptized and turning from their sinful lifestyles, and by submitting their lives to Christ.  It's time to turn off the t.v. and start thinking for ourselves.

The first step that you can take is to get plugged in to a self-directed leadership education.  That is essential.  A leadership education is the foundation that everything else is built upon.  If your only education is coming from a conveyor-belt school or mainstream media sources, you are voluntarily enslaving yourself to billionaires that don't care about you.  They are just happy to use you as a pawn to accomplish their agenda, i.e. influencing the way you vote and gaining the hearts and minds of your children.

If you are ready to take control of your life, contact me (use Contact Us form).  I will help you start your leadership journey and break the chains of mainstream media bondage.  God made you a genius, I would love to help you bring it out.

Summer Vacation

With summer vacation upon us, are your children done learning for the next three months?  Do you understand how detrimental this is to your children?  There is really no excuse to ever take a break from learning.

Summer vacation is actually a purposeful aspect of the conveyor belt schooling system.  Your children are being taught a lasting lesson through their summer vacations:  Studying is hard and tedious, and you should look for every opportunity to break from it and avoid learning at all costs.

Down time and relaxation are absolutely critical to restoring your mental and emotional reserves.  But there are very few legitimate reasons to ever take a three month hiatus from your education.  Learning is a life-long, year round, activity.  If you are truly educating yourself, you will never be able to take such an extended period of time off from your studies.  Once you allow learning to saturate your heart and soul, studying and learning is just who you are.  You won't be able to go long periods of time without reading and studying, because those things are who you are, it's what you do.

I invite you to start your leadership education.

How We Make A Difference

This is something that has been nagging at me for some time.  That's the reason why I started Leadership 3000.  I want to be a force for good in this world.  I want to impact people's lives in a positive way.  I want to do whatever I can to empower people to live their purpose.

Sometimes I look at my life, and what I did with my day, and I ask myself, " Did I do enough today?  Did I make a difference in some body's life?"  Too many days it seems like the best answer I can give is, "I don't know."

Too many days, it doesn't feel like I did anything to help anybody.  I want that to change.  I want to spend my days pouring into the lives of others.  That is why I offer services to help you get new information into your life, as well as coaching to help you get a fresh perspective on whatever you are struggling with.

I don't know what your struggles and battles are, but I would love to help you work through them.  I have faced a few in my life; many of which I faced alone.  Not because I didn't have anybody around me to help me, but because I was too ignorant and prideful to ask for help.  I didn't understand the power of having someone help me, who could see my situation from a different perspective.  Choosing to face life's struggles alone is a long, slow, painful journey.  I have learned that it's much better to use the wisdom and perspective of others to help me learn the lesson quicker, so that I can move from struggle-to-struggle quicker, which allows me to grow faster.

I don't know what you're battling right now, but I do know that you don't have to fight alone.

Read In 3's

Do you ever find yourself struggling to get through a book?  I occasionally run into this problem, but I have incorporated the idea of reading in 3's to combat this problem.

I find that if I categorize my reading, I can put together a strategy that keeps me interested in what I'm reading.  One category is life (faith, family, finance, fitness, freedom, friends, fun, and following).  Another category is the 'book of the month' from my LIFE subscription.  The third category is something specific that I need to work on ( people skills, success thinking, etc.).

As I rotate through the 8 f's, I pick three books for that specific subject, i.e. faith.  I do the same with the other two categories.  This way I can really focus on growing in an area, without trying to grow and excel at everything all at one time.  This keeps me from getting frustrated and distracted.  Three books seems to be the perfect amount of study for a subject at a time.  I've tried as many as five, but that gets to be too many books and too drawn out.  Three books, in three subjects really keeps the learning process moving.  I don't get bogged down in any area.

I think that's one of the problems with schooling, it's too much at a time.  Every day you get pounded with the same subjects over and over.  No wonder why the real lessons being taught in school have nothing to do with the subjects being taught.  Textbook teaching is probably the easiest way around actually teaching.  The children aren't really learning anything, as much as they are memorizing bullet points (which may or may not be true) to regurgitate on a test.  Textbook teaching does not teach a person how to think.  Textbooks are used to program what people think.  To learn more about the real motives of schooling, I would suggest that you read Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto.
