• More Creative in problem solving and Innovative in generating business
• More Confident and effective in Sales techniques
• Better at Keeping Customers happy and loyal
• More Persuasive and able to adapt to all different personalities
• Self-motivated and better at Leading others
• Stronger in distinguishing your company from your competitors
• More Intelligent about Networking and Relationship Building
• Better at getting Full Price instead of discounting constantly
• Better at Creating and Improving Systems to get things done well every time
• Better Decision Makers and tacticians
• More Courageous and less fearful
• Better at Managing Money and making Financial Decisions
• More Professional and Ethical in all of their actions
• More Committed to being a Trusted Advisor to your customers

What would the above be worth to you over the course of six months? A year? Longer?

These are the topics and specialties of the Faculty of the 101 Leaders Institute.

This Breakthrough to Prosperity Seminar Series is designed to bring Best Selling Authors and Hall of Fame Professional Speakers to you right here where we live along this “101 Corridor”.

The seminar leaders are the actual authors and original creators of their material, not merely representatives who were trained to train others. Your people will actually be speaking with and learning from these experts.

The value of the new skills, attitudes and confidence produced through the course of these seminars (7 per year, one every 8 weeks or so) can be in the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to you. By avoiding one bad decision or unwise action you could save a fortune, and, even better, by producing one new key customer or keeping one who might have left you can also gain much profit.

Because of Jim Cathcart’s friendship with these experts we’ve priced the series even below the cost of a simple off-the-shelf business seminar offered by most companies and yet we are bringing you World-Class Authors and Speakers in person here where we live.

An added value is that those who go through this seminar series, upon graduation, will require much less effort to lead, more likely to be “low maintenance” and highly productive compared to their coworkers.

Make your people feel more loyal to you because you have demonstrated your loyalty to them through providing this training. This will make you and your team worth more to any effort you undertake. Invest in yourself, and in your people.

Train like you plan to succeed! Enroll now!

Here is a recent communique from NMA that I find fascinating. See what you think about it. (for more information visit the NMA’s website).

Der Speigel noted in 2006 that the number of accidents in Drachten “declined dramatically” after the open traffic design was implemented. Other European cities similarly minimized their traffic control systems with positive results.

My first reaction to this article is to say, “Maybe that’s true for them but we are different.” But upon further reflection I have to say that I think they have a point. Keeping it in the context of driving I have noticed that anytime I’m using a GPS with audible prompts “turn left 1 mile ahead”, I tend not to read the terrain as attentively. Without the crutch of the GPS I am much more consciously engaged and alert.

Likewise when a fellow passenger is giving me directions (aka: backseat drivers) I pay more attention to their directions and criticism than I do to the actual terrain and more frequently miss my turn. Hmmmm.

If this is true in driving, in what other areas is this true?

How about business coaching, education, parenting, military training, and sales training?

Think about it: if you get an education as to what to look for, what it means, and how to respond to it, then you are intellectually prepared, but only when you are physically and emotionally engaged do you truly learn. It is in USE that we learn to sharpen our skills.

Maybe a bit less direction and lot more immersion in a state of full accountability is the key to our advancement? If your outcomes are determined by your choices, and nobody is protecting you from the consequences of your decisions…wouldn’t you be more careful and thoughtful? I would.

This even applies to society in general. The more we have laws, rules, agencies, etc. to keep us from feeling the full effect of our actions, the less we tend to be careful and responsible. The more we have entitlements instead of earned rewards, the less we exert initiative and creativity. People don’t become more creative and productive because they’ve been trained to do so, they become more so because they need to. Then they put the training to use. USE, that’s where the learning takes effect. So, yes buy books, read them, go to classes, learn from coaches and mentors…but don’t forget to take away the “net” and jump wisely. In the final analysis you are responsible for You.
