On Sunday, October 4th, 2020, I was the keynote speaker at the online College Planning Untangled conference.
Below is a small segment of that keynote.
(If you’ve followed me for a while—can you guess what key principle I was speaking about here?)
I said:
“Here’s our third goal for tonight. Toward the end of our time together in this hour, I’m going to teach you one key principle that no one else you know is talking about.
One key principle that can untangle all the college confusion—and send your kid shooting like an arrow straight to a bullseye—without stress, pressure, or anxiety of any kind.
I’m going to give you a phrase to write down. Write this down now so you’ll be sure to catch it when I talk about it tonight:
We’re going to help your kids who are ages 12–18 right now—to ‘clarify the bullseye on the target before they take aim and shoot.’
In a few minutes when I start talking about this ‘arrow toward the bullseye’ concept—that’s when you’ll want to really sit up and pay attention. That’s when you’ll want to have your teen sitting right in front of the computer with you.”
Pop quiz! What key principle was I talking about here?
