Episode 40: Goals and Vision

Summary

Today we talk about the importance of setting goals and how critical it is for all people to set goals. Everybody should be setting goals for themselves short term and long term as well as creating a vision board and having those goals represented through images so that you can see them and remind yourself about them every single day. 

This is the close of week two of the pilot mentoring group, and I really hope that you can see that no matter what age you are that success can be created in a very easy way, once your mind has instilled in it the confidence to you believe you can succeed. These young people are so incredible that it just goes to show that when a mind is properly stimulated at a young age, there is absolutely no limit to what it can do… none at all! So enjoy today’s episode, and perhaps you will create your own goals and vision board if you haven’t done so already.

Episode 39: Purpose and Ethics

Summary

On today’s episode, #TeenUp mentoring group and I talk about purpose in the first half of the episode and then ethics in the second half of the episode. The topic of ethics and being ethical is very important with young people. Often times, they see adults doing something, and they think it is all right to do it because others do. In reality, awareness on being ethical, keeping your word, being honest, having loyalty and integrity are in the top lessons for all people to learn, especially our youth!
