Signature Keynote
The 9 Point Success System
Setting goals and dreaming are part of how we realize our destiny. Every day, we set short term goals when we wake up to accomplish certain tasks during the day and we set long term goals that give us an idyllic vision of where we want to be in a few months or a few years.
The hard part about setting goals and having dreams is following through with them and really sitting down to think about the steps required to get to success. Constructing steps to achieve your goals is a complex and daunting task that takes trial and error because as we all know, the road to success is not an upward slope on a graph. It’s an uphill climb and then we may get side-tracked or have a set-back. It takes true perseverance, and to help champion those setbacks and losses I have created a “9 Point Achievement System.” In my keynote, these steps outline how to triumph through obstacles, tangibly obtain success, and champion the process along the way…

- Remain patient and never stop improving
STEP 3: THE WHY
- What will carry you through the dark days and what will make the celebrations sweeter

STEP 5: FIGHTING THE ENEMY

- Master your enemies and use them to make you stronger and to fuel your success
- Embrace a “Whatever it takes” mentality
STEP 6: DECISION TIME

- Change leads to growth, and growth leads to success
STEP 7: WORKING PARTNERS

- Draw inspiration from those around you
- More people bring new perspectives
STEP 8: TAKE THE “QUIT” OPTION OFF THE TABLE
- Understand that it is easier to give in if quitting is something you allow yourself to think of
- Suffering does not mean quitting is your best option, it means that success is just around the corner
- It is not an easy climb, but every obstacle makes you stronger
STEP 9: WORK IT AND LIVE IT
- Once a goal is accomplished, it won’t always feel like a sweet victory, victories require work to maintain
- Just as hard staying at the top than getting to the top
- Create new goals, always areas in which you can improve
