very now and again, we get some feedback from our subscribers, and having been raised on the old adage “Don’t Get A Big Head”, I am usually reluctant to share it.
However, this man has such passion for his mission, I just had to publish his comments. If you’re in the UK, you might have his program at a school near you one day.
Hi Chris and Jenny,
Love what you’re doing and how on the ball you are… got to be, there is a mission, A GOAL to be achieved, to make this a better world for our kids !!!
As you know this is a global problem, kids and many adults are not financially educated and scared to do anything, it is the regular challenge that I’m sure you and I, all come up against.
That is why I have set up GET BUZZY Education, I have been involved in using and teaching personal development for the last 16 years and it has changed my life in so many ways, especially being introduced to goal setting, this is why in a moment of challenge and inspiration I wrote “Millionaire mind at 9″, because at 36 years of age I was introduced to goals, which I should have been taught in school, at least at 9 y.o.
From 35 years in the workforce, 25 yrs of that running and building businesses and 16 years of that motivating and teaching adults and kids in many environments. I came to realise and investigated that there is a lack of materials for kids in 2 areas. That is goals and financial education.
I did workshops for 15 to 20 year olds at a college where there were 4000+ students and the Head principal told me they run no classes on financial education, my workshops were about the amazing opportunities that are around in the way of multiple income streams and yet we are still teaching “go out and get a job” ????
My experience is that all kids have goals and if they are unleashed, they will do amazing things now and in the future and many will make the world better. I did another class on monday with 80 kids from 6 to 11 years with my ” Magical Achievement Tree” an introduction to goals and this also involves feedback, interaction and involvement from parents, one of aims.
They all got it and even the principal was surprised and she commented how the kids all got involved and knew what they wanted, it was a real joy !
Goals to me are where it all starts and many goals require funding and that is why I also promote getting financially educated to all ages.
Regards, Thanks and Best wishes,
Live, Love & Laugh
