Quote of the Day

"The American dream, to me, means that you have the ability to determine where you're going, formulate your dream, and then to put in motion all the building blocks that will help you achieve it. I am so grateful that I was born in America. There’s no place that offers the opportunities we have. All it requires is the right mindset and the willingness to work. People who realize that are already halfway toward realizing their American dream."

SO, What Is Growth Planning?

In brief, growth planning is a self-identity, mindset & lifestyle change and development process that enables youth to avoid or move away from what we call a "Street Survival Mindset & Lifestyle" and to move towards living their everyday life with a "Growth Planning Mindset & Lifestyle."  [Click here to see these mindset & lifestyle change components.]  Specifically, we define growth planning as . . .

"the learned art, skill, and power of having a lifelong continuous growth MINDSET and a proactive, self-motivated, and self-disciplined LIFESTYLE that uses the 3 skills of visioning, goal-setting, and benchmarking to continuously improve our self as a person and to achieve our vision & goals."
