Not College Material

I don’t have a college degree. My Mom and Grandmother told me that I “wasn’t college material. You can’t afford to go to college.”

Well, I believed them. Wouldn’t you? They loved me. They were my family, right?

I graduated high school a quarter early, in the top 25% of my class. I was recruited into the Georgia Army National Guard with the promise of getting the GI Bill to help pay for college. I scored so high on my entrance exam, I was able to choose my career training path.

I went to Electronics / Radio Repair training. I not only passed, but I also graduated “Honor Graduate”. Honor Graduate was 2nd highest in the class.

Many of the members of my National Guard unit were in law enforcement. I thought I could become a police officer and make it a career. I was sent to the Law Enforcement Academy. I did well and graduated “Distinguished Student”. Distinguished Student was 2nd highest in the class.

After 4 years, I decided to take the Sargent’s exam when they offered it. I scored the 2nd highest grade of all those taking it. I didn’t get promoted.

I had continued going to motivational seminars and listening to motivational tapes. I still believed I would be rich one day. I tried multi-level marketing. Nothing worked. I never achieved my dreams.

I quit law enforcement, trying sales jobs, minimum wage jobs, dead-end jobs. I could not seem to achieve any of the goals I set.

Have you ever felt like you just didn’t have it?  I wasn’t stupid. I had always worked hard. Why couldn’t I get ahead? Why couldn’t I achieve my goals?

Limiting Beliefs

I learned through hypnotherapy that my subconscious mind had been programmed with the belief that I was poor and couldn’t afford to do anything. The most interesting thing I learned was that I had a belief that I was the 2nd best child to my Mom. My subconscious mind had set what I believed about myself.  It explained why I always earned 2nd highest. I could never be the best. I could not be Number 1.

I felt like I was playing soccer and every time I ran down the field and kicked the ball to score my goals, the goalie would jump up and slap my goal out of the net.

The techniques I learned and now share teach proven, systematic techniques to reprogram the subconscious mind and turn those negative, limiting beliefs into positive, success-oriented, goal achieving beliefs.

I started using the techniques. My career changed completely. My mind had been set into a new belief system. I learned that I could change and control my subconscious mind. 

I was a high school graduate without a college degree. I was making $17K per year when I started applying the techniques I learned.

I started setting goals to improve my income.

Within a couple of years, I DOUBLED my salary.

A few years later I DOUBLED my salary again. I still didn’t have a college degree.

In 1993, I started a consulting company which was another goal I had set. I more than DOUBLED my income again.

I set a goal to become a Chief Information Officer. I loved Information Technology and worked with CIOs when consulting. I wanted to be one.

In 1997, I achieved my goal to run the IT Department for a major company.  I was now in the C-Suite Without A College Degree.

Do you Believe you can increase your income over 400%?  Do you believe you can achieve your goals?

Are you not achieving your goals?  Do you wonder why you can’t?

I believe you and your corporation can achieve their goals if they only know how to use the steps that will make them high-performance goal achievers. 

Last year I transformed my body to its peak performance. I set my goal to transform my body to be better than it was when I was 30. I reached my goal 3 months early.
